Absolutely ridiculous. Put the hammer down on hookings, holdings and interferences and do it NOW.
So this may seem like a random question, but can anyone tell me about actually going to see some games in Sweden? I just found out (last night) that I get a couple of weeks vacation (starting next week), and I was thinking of going over to Sweden. I wanted to spend some time in Stockholm and Gothenberg, so I was wondering if anyone has been to Frolunda or AIK games. Is it easy to get tickets? Are they expensive? Is it difficult for someone who doesn't speak Swedish to get into and around the arena? Just basic questions I suppose, but unfortunately the searching I've done on the web hasn't produced good results. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Neither AIK or Frölunda has had a single sellout this season, so it should be fine to just buy tickets on site aswell. I think English will come a long way around the arena, or in general.. :-)
Oh and if you have a chance to choose, I'd go to Frölunda-Brynäs in Gothenburg. They don't like each other after last year's playoffs.
DeathChurch: If you go to Stockholm you should see Djurgården (in Allsvenskan) instead. They have the loudest fans, and some NHL-players players such as Landeskog, Hörnqvist and Murray.
Thanks for the tips. That Frölunda-Brynäs sounds interesting, and since I'm a Blackhawks fan who has enjoyed the past few years of Blackhawks/Canucks games I'm sure I'd enjoy that one too. The problem is that it's on the 1st, and that's the earliest day that I could fly out of Chicago. Ironically, the reason I can't fly out until then is because I'm seeing a band from Gothenberg (In Flames) on the night of the 30th. So I'll probably end up going to see the Frölunda game on the 8th in Gothenberg.
Would Djurgården really be a better experience than AIK? Now I think I'll go see both.
I've never been to a game outside of the US, so do they sell a lot/any merchandise at games?

that's what you should do. both are different experiences and i think if you have the chance, you should really go to both teams. not sure who DIF will play while you are there, but the allsvenskan while always being a good and entertaining league is even better this year with all the lockout players.
Only 1 forward in the league averages more than 20 min/game (Alex Steen - 20:01 min/game). The best players on each team should play a lot more than they do right now.
