I rush in to the hotel. Turns on the TV. Well, there they are, the blue-yellow against a red-white, looking each other in the eye and the clock showing 20.00 period 1. I made it! Quarter final of the ice hockey World Championships, Czech Republic vs Sweden.

The game undulate back and forth, who will take first step? Difficult, we see no clear trend. Many expulsions. Period 1 and it is 0-0.

Stomach turning. The date has consisted of air travel, waiting at airports and train ride. It alla about quickly arrange something to my room. Geschnettelse mit Rosti and a glass of red wine is good. The game can continue. 

Period 2, Sweden 2 to 5, who does not score for us, yes, Mattias Weinhandl our export product to the KHL. Mattias, poor guy who has only one functioning eye, but it works better than most others. Now it's 1-0. Good! More expulsions for both teams and suddenly we have more players. It's 2-0. The hope for win is stronger. 

Especially when you see how our new export product Linus Omark spins around and makes the whole Czech team confused. Young, little Linus from Övertoneå in Lappland. Small village at the Torneå River in northern parts of Sweden. Imagine the talent coming up! And now he must play with Weinhanl in Dynamo, Moscow.

Period 3. Perhaps it holds. And suddenly we are 5 to 3. Now we can determine a match. But what happens? Czech Republic scores. How can this happen? Now I am nervous again. 2-1 and 10 minutes left. Please time go fast. The Czech Republic is aggressive and fighting like animals. Can we hold on? And so a cannon shot from the blue line by Jönsson. 3-1 and 3 minutes left. We should do it. Yes, we do it. Now the shower time.

Imagine what we can do from the upper part of Sweden. Produce the world's purest product of iron ore pellets, to seize and export ice hockey skills like Linus and manufacture the world's best javelin.

Now I am proud to me a NORRLÄNNING (Man from North in swedish)!
