Rundblad started blogging yesterday for a local Skellefteå local paper. Yeah, ofcourse it is in Swedish but google translate magic can always help out if somebody's interested. Google Translate can be a ***** but correct and helpful alot of the time.
Latest post is pretty funny. Tim Erixon modelling. A new misspelling I hadn't seen yet

too bad he doesn't have a formspring account like Filatov, if he did.....someone could ask him which side on D he prefers, that way we could end the ridiculous debate about it going on in the Kuba thread.
oh and about him wearing UA tights to the grocery store......that's very European if you ask me.

I must say that I'm actually quite jealous of David's handsomeness. This guy could be the next heartthrob at SBP. Karlsson replaced Vermette now we have Rundblad to take over for Mike Fisher.

No homo.
lol he is really cute. No one could replace Vermy..
How long until the big boys in Ottawa shut him down though? Karlsson and Filatov's social networking sites both went down and now only Zbad's remains. Perhaps while they are still in Sweden it is allowed, but all the players playing in Ottawa this year seem to have lost their pages.

Could happen, but if its in Swedish I doubt they'll make him take it down. Remember when Nikulin had a blog? That never seemed to be an issue. They even had Greening doing a blog during the AHL playoffs. This sort of thing shouldn't be frowned upon.

Filatov's is still up (http://www.formspring.me/filat21), and didn't the Sens put up a thing telling people to follow Karlsson on Twitter? Zibanejad's is still up so, I doubt anything is going to happen to his.
Anyhow, if they do take it down and it helps prevent the Sun from having contact the players more than they should (Any is too much, but oh well), I'm all for it.

Ah he changed it from filat28 to filat21 that explains why that one doesn't work. As for Karlsson yeah I think they were telling folks to follow it, but it disappeared pretty soon after it was made. Perhaps he simply just didn't like twitter.

I kind of thought that maybe you didn't know it was changed, at first I thought "He changed his name then deleted it?"
I was thinking maybe Karlsson was having trouble with all the English questions, maybe people were saying stupid stuff to him too, dunno. But I do hope the team isn't making them take it down.

Ah well thanks for the new link at least. I take it he changed it due to Konopka wearing 28 for Ottawa? I haven't seen much about his number but I'd assume then he'll be going with 21.
I don't believe this statement to be true, at least in the case of freedom of expression, though I'm no lawyer. I am however familiar with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of human rights. Freedom of expression has its limitations.
Its a player's choice to sign a contract. If he believes that the code of conduct for a member of his club violates his human rights than he has the free will to not sign that contract and choose a different profession.
Do you also think its a violation of a player's rights to have a curfew and not be allowed to drink on nights before games? Is this a violation of Article 1? Article 5? Article 24?

Well free-will is irrelevant as contracts aren't law. If a contract has clauses that violate laws (in our case human rights recognized by Canadian courts.), that contract is illegal and void. For example, no Canadian court will enforce a slavery contract.
What my question was, which I believe is the only contentious aspect of this discussion, can a contract really prevent someone from expressing themselves freely in public or on the internet? I don't think this is a silly question... "Social networking" might seem like a precise thing but it is a pretty fundamental aspect of life that goes beyond the internet. I'd like to know if something like that was tested in court or something. If anything, what type of limitations can a contract impose on your ability to express yourself in public.
I'm aware of some limitations on freedom of expression so don't treat as if I'm completely naive. I've signed NDAs before and stuff.

Yes - I am a federal employee and you wouldn't believe what I can't talk about in social media. It's called a condition of employment.

First off, you have to remember that Canada doesn't have FULL free speach rights guaranteed under the constitution. We still have our hate-speech laws (thank god), so if, for example, an NHL player who played on a Canadian team came out and said just some of the most hate-filled racist garbage on an international stage while representing that team, that would be grounds for dismissal (and prosecution, depending on just how awful your claims are) under Canadian law.
But, tangents aside, I think the thing here is that while basic freedom of speech is a human right. "Blogging" isn't.
Lots of companies have social media restrictions written in to their employee contracts. Usually, it's not because they don't want to limit someone's freedom of speech, it's because they don't want to be affiliated in any with that person who uses his freedom of speech to say something utterly ridiculous and potentially damaging when they have a worldwide audience that was GRANTED to them by the team/person in the first place.
When you sign a contract to represent someone else as a public figure or spokesman, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that person (or team, in this case) is going to want to protect their investment by being able to distance themselves from a person if they say something silly.
I'm not saying I AGREE with employers limiting an employee's social media use, but to say it infringes on infringement of inalienable and natural human rights is a streeeeeeetch.
if he was wearing the tight stuff.
