Was it because he was playing center? or did he just flat out suck?
He just sucked. Honestly when playing with Fredrik Bremberg he hasn't been good at all. I hope the coach stop trying that and put Ljungh in between Åberg and Landeskog, that line have worked very good when playing together
Landeskog will play for Team Sweden in Karjala Cup. Sweden are mostly using the younger NHL players this time.

Is "The Blind Watchmaker" a reference to Denver's 'Infinite Monkey Theorem' urban winery?
If so, hell yes.
Not directly. It's a title of one of Richard Dawkin's books on evolutionary biology. He does use a version of the infinite monkey theorem in one of the chapters to demonstrate the probability of improbable events occurring after successive attempts. METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL!
something has happen with gabbe the last 6-8 games. his physical game has disappeared. not good, his physical game is very important.
I wouldn't be too worried. His game is made for the NA ice surface. It's possible that with the added defensive responsibility he's taken on with playing center he's more hesitant to throw out a big hit for fear of being out of position.
