With Mike under the weather, Dan is joined by Canadiens prospects and Swedish hockey expert Patrik Bexell to discuss Jörgen Jönsson, brother of Islanders’ defenseman Kenny Jonsson and a European star with a brief stay in North America.
After winning just about everything he could in his home country, Jörgen spent one partial season on Long Island, where he joined Kenny for what many hoped would be a fruitful and comfortable reunion. But playing on a bad team far from his family in a strange land didn’t suit him, and after a trade to the Ducks (for another Swedish star and bonus Weird Islander), he returned home to continue his great career and start another one as a GM and coach.
