Djurgården has moved into the SHL playoffs, and a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lukas Vejdemo’s old mentor, Robert Ohlsson, for a discussion about coaching, hockey IQ, and Swedish coaches in the NHL.
When the season started, many looked to Djurgården as a potential champion. When they added Axel Johnson-Fjällby to the team, from the Washington Capitals, they became everyone’s favourite to take home the Le Mat trophy at the end of the season.
However other teams had a say in it, and Djurgården took time to settle in.
