With the Global Series starting today, who is your favorite Swedish player to ever play in the NHL?



Mine is Borje Salming, ’cause he’s an inspiration to so many of his fellow countrymen that became athletics.

    Markus Naslund, the west coast express era is what got me into hockey. And obviously Pettersson and the Sedins as well.

    I never knew Samling was jacked at that age… wow.

    Gotta give some love to Sundin. That smile. That damned smile …

  12. GroundbreakingCow775

    We have been lucky to have some of the best ones but outside of Detroit I always loved watching Markus Naslund and Daniel Alfredson. Appreciated Forsberg watching him

    Still think about watching Stephan Liv in a preseason game

    Håkan Loob

    Presently playing, Rasmus Andersson & Mikael Backlund.

  17. GrahamsLadybug

    Sundin, Forsberg and Lidström. Sundin traumatized us finns in the past

    Easy, I’m old, #21 for me. RIP BORJE!!

    I’m a flyers fan and I’m still gonna say King Henrik although the sedins are a close second

  26. Heshoots_hescores68

    jesus…obviously keeps himself in shape look at those forearms

  27. Jmz67

    Håkan Loob, still the only Swedish player to net 50 goals

  28. Constant-Squirrel555

    Karlsson. He’s the most talented guy to wear a Sens jersey and I’ve never enjoyed watching a player as much as I have for prime EK

  29. monumentvalley170

    Forsberg cuz he played like an actual Viking, or Varangian if you want to be more specific

  32. Bloomfield93

    Definitely not the best but growing up I always liked Edler a lot when he was in Vancouver

  34. Alone-Community6899

    Kent Nilsson. I have even met him a few times since our sons played against each other and also when he has been scouting in various barns. He is just as laid back as he was doing all his nifty moves.

  35. WackHeisenBauer

    Daniel Alfredsson without question. Although Karlsson is close.

  36. Scratchman888

    I stand with OP. Borje Salming. Only Leaf sweater I own.

    Favorite? Stefan Persson. Rock solid defenceman with a good point shot for the Isles that I once met (super nice) and patterned my game after.

    Lundqvist. Probably the best goalie post 05 lockout.
