The Montreal Canadiens success has drawn interest from at least two former players of the Bleu, Blanc, Rouge in Sweden, namely Mats Näslund and Peter Popovic. When Eyes on the Prize reached them a day before the big midsummer celebration in Sweden they are both exited for their former team, and the fans.
Mats Näslund confesses straight up that he doesn’t “follow the Canadiens anymore,” something he pointed out in the Puckdrop Podcast a couple of years ago. Näslund said there are only two teams that he follows his hometown team of Timrå and his last team Malmö.
