[Ed. Note: I hope you are enjoying PJ Axelsson day on Stanley Cup of Chowder today! I asked Patrik of (shudder) Habs Eyes on the Prize to recount his favorite memories of Per-Johan Axelsson. Here's what he shared.]
Having grown up in Göteborg with Frölunda as my team and P.J. Axelsson as one of the players that the team leaned on, not only on the ice but also off the ice as well. He is what’s in Sweden in general and in Göteborg in particular known as a "Go Gubbe" (a good guy, with a weird or wicked sense of humour depending on where you are from).
