Erik Karlsson is on fire and not mentioned – AT ALL – here. I have been loving him for some time now that the Captials season has been in the crapper with Dale Hunter Hockey. It gave me a chance to watch some other teams I may not have noticed.
Ottawa was not supposed to do anything this season once the owner had a fire sale on talent but look at those scrappy dudes? Talk about an offensive/defensive man? And Alfredsson’s kids adore him!The numbers he is putting up this season are amazing so here is some love Erik. You keep rockin’ it my little Swedish bad boy. I love to watch you score!
And on the other coast, I’ve noticed Alex Edler, from the Vancouver Canucks.
With all the talent on that team, I know one might get over looked especially when you have Ryan Kesler taking naked photos. But I consider him the Kris Letang of the West Coast, hot, hard-working but not an attention seeker. He’s a reliable work horse but he also attended the All-Star game.
So just wanted to point out some other hockey players out there and give out some pre-Play-Off-season love because as I stated last year, if your favorite team doesn’t make it, you’ll have to find someone else to cheer for, so ladies, start your choices ….

I feel so cougarish, but I think Erik is adorable and very, very talented. I enjoyed watching him in interviews at the ASG and I was impressed with the way he handled himself and spoke very intelligently. Maybe a future Norris Trophy winner AFTER Kris Letang:P
Ah, the Swedish connection! Both great d-men, and easy on the eyes, but interview-wise they’re opposites, I’ve heard Karlsson be very funny and lippy, but I think Edler is kinda shy and quiet.
I already have two teams to cheer for, but the way things are going, I may need more!
Dawn, where are you for Fridays when we need you? About 200 people have suggested Karlsson for Foxy Friday! You’re welcome to mention anyone – AT ALL – anytime. Chuck’s off at the Wizard World of Harry Potter and I can’t do this thing by myself!
Finally!!!! I’ve been waiting for a post on Karlsson FOREVER. He’s just so cute and such a good player. Ottawa’s my home team so I’m happy you guys are talking about them for once. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
