gotta love this kid. he buys his own plane ticket, hotel room etc to spend the summer in St. Louis instead of Sweden. sounds like someone really wants to make the Blues this upcoming season. best part is he\'s now bulked up from 187 to around 215 pounds! i know its early but look out kane and toews, we could have a new young dynamic duo to emerge from the central division in berglund and oshie a little sooner than expected B)

thats some insane dedication for a kid thats never played north american hockey. i hope he makes the team and makes a impact

hmmmm....steroids can help speed up the process of putting on body mass, but then again so does eating lots of pasta. Do they eat alot of pasta in Sweden?

[Sleemans]

Gotta love the kid\'s attitude. Glad I drafted him in my keeper league recently. B)

[hockeylifer]

Welcome morningrise! Thanks for the new on Berglund. He has probably improved his chances of making the team already, just with his attitude.

Egg noodles for the meatballs.

Yeah, we do

Great news.... can\'t wait for him to earn his spot in the NHL.

Same here. Cannot wait until he is in the nhl full time. Maybe the only player that I can say I over paid for.. 18th overall and Tlusty for Berglund. I just don\'t like Tlusty enough to see how good he will become.

[moptopmaple]

I do not think this is such big deal. A 2000 dollar investment is, what, half a percent of a one-year contract?

[DAW]

It\'s a big deal because not to many players pay their own way for anything!

[playmaker26]

It\'s not the amount of money, it\'s the meaning of it.

Yes, they call it pästa.

This does bode well for his career - by showing that kind of commitment, there\'s a much better chance he\'ll make the team. This must impress management a lot.

Don\'t abuse our umlauts or I will go åäö on your ass! It\'s called pasta but we eat a lot of köttfärssås with it Pästa would be pronounced \"pesta\" and that\'s just weird
