It is so great that you guys didn't overlook the 2nd levels of hockey in neither Finland or Sweden!!
I really wish the NHL, the best hockey league in the world, could even come close to the fans of a swedish 2nd division team. These are real fans, the atmosphere is insane! It really brings so much more life and meaning to it. Hockey is not just something you watch, it's something you experience, and when everyone in the crowd is an ultra you just can't help but feel as a part of it. Almost like a cult. I'm from Finland and immediately became a fan of Djurgården when watching this video, they do it right!
Fittigt fina fanns ni har dit. Exakt så ska hockey vara. Ta hem dethär, ett gäng som ni förtjänar spela på högsta nivå i Sverige. ♥️💙💛
Hälsningar, ett mumin från Finland.
@@VisionThingu can shut up. He’s right.
Skulle hålla med dig om det inte vore det faktum att jag är Brynäsare 😅😆
Oavsett så kommer det bli en fantastiskt final med Brynäs - Djurgården. Kommer ha betydligt högre tittarsiffror än SHL finalen.
@@Pouya82 Ey, jinxa inget nu! 😁
@@Pouya82 Det kommer den verkligen inte ha. Dock kommer hela Sverige hålla på Brynäs enbart för att det varit lugnt och fint utan stockholmare i SHL.
@@BlueSaints1891ni tar nästa match, det enda rätta hade varit en dunderdrabbning mellan Brynäs och Djurgården i finalen.
I'm a Färjestad supporter, from the opposite side of Sweden (near the Norwegian border) which is still a big rival of Djurgården (of sorts). And even more for me living in Stockholm with friends that support DIF. This was a fantastic tifo, brilliantly done, all credit to the DIF fans! And great to see that Swedish teams and fans are getting recognition from other hockey countries! :-)
I am also a Färjestad supporter and i really miss this games at hovet. I love the atmosphere and the arena, it's a shame they're going to demolish the arena.
Can you truly be rivals when you are in different Leagues?
You have a bar in each corner of Hovet that serves the beer you are looking for. 1 bar is season ticket holders only during intermission and 1 bar is normally closed off so only away fans can access that bar. Which were where you were sitting last game. If you end up on the same side again you have to walk to the other side of the Arena.
More trivia:
1. Sundin didn't just return during the lockout, he was drafted from Djurgården in the first place, where he played for the youth and junior division and then later for the pro squad while still underaged.
2. Other more recent high-drafted alumni:
Gabriel Landeskog (COL)
Mika Zibanejad (NYR)
Alexander Holtz (NJD)
Jonathan Lekkerimäki (VAN)
Noah Östlund (BUF)
Liam Öhgren (MIN)
William Eklund!
@@Vilgotczky Correct!
Djurgårdes fans really are something else, and to think its in the 2nd tier as well. As far as i know, strong input from the football side. From what i've heard they are by far the best fans in Swedish hockey.
They are one of if not the loudest
They remind me a lot of the HC Ambrì-Piotta fans, who are most likely the wildest fans in hockey
they are indeed but still a team from stockholm,founded 1891 and the team with most titles in sweden.
Sure they are in 2nd division now, but they are the most successful swedish hockey team with the most titles as swedish champions.
Dude they are far from best fans in the swedish hockey
Amazing atmosphere in the arena! Well done my cousins, sisters and brothers in Sweden!
Okay here it goes... As a Finn.. Only thing im jelaous about Sweden is their hockey fan culture. Yeah i said it.. im ashamed.
Don’t be, djurgården has the best fans in Sweden by a mile
Our footbalfans are 1000% this..
@@jonahreithnerSynd bara för era spelare att ni alltid har 30-40 procent som håller på bortalaget. Och att arenan är så genuint usel. Man kan tycka att huvudstaden skulle ha bättre arenor än Karlstad, Skellefteå, Växjö, mfl.
I used to be the PA announcer for Djurgården several years ago, and the noise level and atmosphere when the arena is full, is incredible. I still get the goosebumps from just watching this!
I know nothing of Hockey, haven't watched a single game before.
That said, I am loving this series and might start watching hockey from now on because of you guys! 🙂
Wow! Great comment, thanks for sharing this
If you need a Swedish team to support, you know which one from this video ;)
thx for the video from a djurgården hockey fan very nice that you come to sweden en show up the best hockey culture
The Hovet arena will be demolished and The Globe aka Avicii Arena is under renovation and will be their new home arena. Hovet is more popular for hockey because the ice is better (colder in the arena) and the ceiling is lower, which creates a better atmosphere. But when the Globe is renovated, the ceiling inside will be able to be lowered. And I hope they will fix the ice problems that been there.
Great video! As a Djurgården supporter it is always nice to see the reaction from someone over seas.
Awesome Greetings from Helsinki , Finland
Swedes sure know how to cheer for their team.
Yeah I was thinking the same, great atmosphere 👌
To be honest as a Tappara fan every team's fans in the Finnish league have a long way to get to their level.
@@Sinioranssein I actually remember a few years back i think 2021/22 when Luleå vs Färjestad was in the SHL Finals, some finnish newspaper in Oulu wrote how insane the atmosphere was and that nothing they have experienced in a hockey arena has come close. The fans stood up and sang for the entire game +warmup.
@@kingboss1279 Yes exactly. Swedish fans are next level compared to finnish fans. Probably because of longer traditions with ultras while ultras are pretty new here in Finland. And also Sweden has like twice as many people as Finland.
Man even though i was there i still got nervous watching this clip x'D
Looking forward to tonight!
DJURGÅRDEN!! 💛❤💙
I'm glad you liked it, unfortunately, we played horribly but hey we won. Btw to get stronger beer, you can go to a bar in the arena that serves stronger ones, just so you know for next time :)
For the next game (Thursday), we have tickets for the standing room, VIP area. What can we expect from there? We only bought tickets there because everything else was sold out!
@@JetLagWarriors Much better beer, strong and its served in chilled glasses! You can stand by some tables but theres also seats that are a part of the VIP section however you are not allowed to bring the glass out there, you have to pour the beer into a plastic cup. Its pretty nice but i personally prefer the normal seats since the atmosphere is better and not as "business"-like.
You should add an "ay caramba"- counter to the next video.
Not a bad idea, actually!
Really good comment about the music not being on while the game is paused, in every Finnish game i've been to it has always played, even when the home ''ultras'' are chanting at the top of their lungs
Much love from a Ilves-fan from eastern Finland
The honorary Finn has entered enemy territory
Enemy in hockey. Games between Finland - Sweden always has a special charge. It applies to both players and fans.
Here I was thinking it was your Eastern border that hosted enemies
@@JustBrowsing777 I wouldn't worry about them too much after the winter war and continuation war 😉
@@user-fp9wl3me5xfinland-sweden games are crazyyy. Russia used to be up there too
Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere. I've been going to games since Mats Sundin played for Djurgården. Back then the games were played in Globen (Avicii Arena) that holds almost 14k in attendance. It was in Avicii Arena the Leafs played the Global Series earlier this season.
If you want a really cool hockey experience you should visit a Djurgården game in Avicii Arena. They sell out a couple of games each season. It's something extra.
Happy to see you on Hovet. DIF is my team and I hope you stay here and go to more games. 💛❤️💙
We just bought our tickets for the game on Thursday! Unfortunately, the regular eats were sold out, so we are in the standing room only, VIP section. Do you know fi the experience is good over there? We will find out!
@@JetLagWarriors The VIP section is the section to the left (from where you were sitting), I have not been there, but I bet you will have a great experience 😄
@@JetLagWarriors I suggest you stay a bit longer if Djurgården wins. Right after the game, the players will all line up facing the fans and start chants and celebrate a bit.
@@JetLagWarriorsI have not visited the "VIP-hyllan" myself but I'm sure it will be nice. If you're lucky you might even see a couple of Djurgården legends. You might not know them but Christian Due-Boije and Janne Viktorson work at the VIP section and they both won three swedish titles with DIF!
@@JetLagWarriors You should take a trip to Gothenburg and see Frölunda - Skellefteå in the highest league. It gonna be a great Semifinal serie!
Great video! So happy to see a NHL fan coming to Sweden appreciating our hockey culture. I assume you have seen better hockey being played but the atmosphere in the the arena and the engagement from the DIF fans is top tier level and in itself gives value for the entrance fee.
I’m not a DIF fan, quite the opposite in fact, but I must give kudos to their home fans! In Sweden I think only the Leksand fans can compete with them.
Welcome to Sweden! Hope you have a great visit here! You should really go to the Djurgården football game on monday 8 April as well.
We just bought tickets to Monday's game! It was nearly sold out already!!
@@JetLagWarriors You're in for a treat. First home game of the season is always special. Make sure to get there early, gonna be a lot of people there.
@@JetLagWarriorsUse the bars outside the stadium. They absolutely sell real beer. Blues bar for example should be good. I think there will also be a big gathering at Slaktbaren before the football. And if you haven’t already, check out the merchandise shop in the mall next to both hockey and football stadiums. If you do go before the football BE EARLY because it will be jam packed.
So my advice is to get to stadium area a couple of hours before kick off and enjoy the atmosphere at bars and restaurants.
I grew up a fan because my parents was fans and also my grandparents. My late grandad watched the club back in the 20s and 30s. The football section of our great club was formed in 1899 and the hockey in 1922. We’ve had the same club badge since the early 1900s.
And our oldest active supporters club was formed in 1947, called DIF Supporters club.
Some general info there. Hope you’re having a good time in Stockholm.
Glad you get to enjoy Hovet arena. It's in its last season, the Globe (Avicii Arena) next door will be the main arena for Djurgården hockey. Hovet will be torn down next year and new apartment buildings will be built there i believe. The atmosphere in hovet sure is one of a kind, which globen doesnt have due to its size and sphere shape which changes the acoustics.
love what u do! and the commitment you show. love u
Wow the crowd is amazing in Sweden! We have a lot to learn in Finland…
We will never be on the same level. Just because we finns are generally more introverted than open.
Really? I always thought Finnish hockey fans were kind of the same as us Swedes. You learn something new everyday.
@@hollowmadeI guess that goes for the international games. But in the national league games you guys are light years ahead.
@@hollowmade The only good fans/ultras in Finland that are original are from Vasa. There are some up and coming from tampere that are decent with younger fans but they are hella generic.
Djurgården’s fans are great! You should come down to Ängelholm to experience a semi final. Great atmosphere too!
Great video! hope you liked Djurgården!
Great to see you enjoyed the game. I’m sure someone has already mentioned it but the 3,5% beer you can bring to the stands. If you want stronger beer there are 4 bars at Hovet (one in each corner) where they serve stronger beer and other drinks. The grocery stores in Sweden aren’t allowed to sell stronger stuff either so you’ll have to go to systembolaget. Hope you enjoy some real beer and the rest of your stay in Sweden💛❤️💙
(Unless there's another reason for it) It's no wonder those first row seats were empty because the view is pretty bad. When I lived in Stockholm several years ago, and would occasionally go to Hovet, the first a couple of rows were among the cheapest seats IIRC. The penalty boxes further hinder your visibility of the ice.
Thanks for stopping by, welcome back anytime 💛❤💙
Avicci arena used to be called Eriksson globe, after the telecommunications company, or just "Globen" ("The Globe" in english), but after Aviccis suicide, it was renamed in his honor as one of Swedens most well known artists and to raise awareness for mental health
Go to Modo next season! Where forsberg, the sedins and many more came from, should especially visit them when they play against Timrå IK!
You can actually get regular beer, but it can only be bought and drunk in certain closed off, designated areas around the arena (and in the VIP section).
I've been to Avicii arena once in 2012, It was called Globen then. I had no idea Hovet was so close to it. Had to be there right? it's older arena?
Hope you had a great time in Sweden!
I have the opportunities to watch sport matches in Europe and in North America. In North America, the match itself is one of the things that are happening in the arena/stadium. There are loud music, kiss cam, light shows, 50-50 raffle draws etc. In Europe, the match is THE only thing that is happening in the arena/stadium. It feels like everyone is connected inside the building.
True! I agree with your analysis 100%
In europe the games speak for themselves. Leaves room for fans to express their passion. And it’s ALWAYS a goosebump experience
Congratulations DIF, now you gotta brawl with Brynäs tho, theyve been insane all season pretty much, I wish you good luck
I do not watch hockey normally, but I enjoyed listening to your commentary.
I hope the Swedes find your channel soon! More media passes and all 😃 Regards from Finland 🇫🇮
Ps. If you thought Tappara is a good name for a team, wait until you hear what Djurgården means 👌
Yeah, but that's a place name though. 🤷🏻♂️
Ps. We also have a place with the exact same name in Helsinki. 😂

@@Aristolari Incorrect. Zoo in Swedish is "djurpark". "Gård" in the case of Djurgården means "större, öppet markområde i omedelbar anslutning till byggnad och omgivet av andra byggnader eller stängsel", i.e. the are of Djurgården in Stockholm that used to be the royal hunting ground. The closest translation would be something like "Animal estate".
Both in Finland and Sweden I feel that the second division is a lot more interesting and passionate than the first division. The rising ticket prices, the corporate boxes and ticket quotas, and bandwagoning has for the most part made first division hockey just a worse fan experience.
I saw my first international ice hockey games in this arena. 8 years old and die-hard Djurgård-fan. World Cup in ice hockey 1969. Czechoslovakia won against the Soviet Union 2-0 (serious match considering the occupation the year before) and Sweden against Finland (5-0???) a few days later.
welcome to Sweden :) I hope u like it guys
Great fan reaction, I may be supporting another Stockholm team but Im hoping for Djurgården to advance to the SHL
Söderfamily!
Come to göteborg next week! We going from Fin cheers our friend and ofc team also who playing in Frölunda!
If hockeyallsvenskan finals is between Brynäs-Djurgården you have to go if you can. They are the two teams with most golds won through swedish hockey history. Especially a Brynäs home game so the support is more even and the stands are besides eachother.
As for the ice that continues outside the rink... Johanneshov, like all old hockey-arenas in Europe was built with measurements for a standard European rink, which are 60x30 meters (length x width). However, more and more top teams and leagues in Europe has started to play on NHL-size rinks, which are 60,96x25,9 meters. Which is why you could see the ice surface outside the actual rink at Johanneshov.
This is professional hockey like AHL in USA and Canada. It's the second league in Sweden (Allsvenskan), the highest league is called SHL.
Hovet is a older arena, they probably might have played in Globen(The Globe that is just next to Hovet, pretty hard to miss in Stockholm) for this game on a regular year but right now its being renovated. But that said, Hovet was built as a outdoors arena in the 50s and got its roof in the 60s. So yeah, older arena for sure.
This is 2nd division hockey in Sweden.
1st division is SHL.
Not only in 1995. Djurgården is Sundin’s youth team as well. He pretty much IS Djurgården, just as he will be a forever Leaf.
Nice video and welcome to hovet and hope u Come back
Cheers! You could be an aversge Finn or a Swede. You have similar vibes I bet it comes from Canada.
I follow basketball but I know there are so many Finnish players in Swedish Elite Serie.
The Avicii arena next door is named in honor of the late Swedish DJ Avicii who died in 2018, also Avicii arena is undergoing a major renovation and will reopen 2025 and the Hovet arena will be demolished and a office building will be built and a new practice rink for Djurgarden will be built at the same site underneath the office building .
The same in Finland. The main arena is under construction. They even had WM in Tampere last year.
AIK and Djurgården, don't pretend its yours 😘
See you tonight! This game was extremely sloppy by djurgården, sadly this is the kind of sloppiness we've seen all season. But today we'll come back even stronger for the big W! About the beer situation, there is a bar which has stronger beer by sections A10-A11. But you are not allowed to take that beer out of the bar.
Great video!
some comments on the venue: its the old arena right next to the newer one, however they are playing on the old arena due to renovation in the new one.
Mora player #28 Brandsegg-Nygård is gonna be first round pick in this years draft
I was in Toronto 2001 and saw a match between Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche. It was awesome to see both Mats Sundin and Peter Forsberg, but it was quite expensive and shitty seats. Anyway it was a good experience! Forza Djurgården, Alltid Oavsett!💛❤️💙
One of the things I love with hockey in Sweden is the fan culture. I used to stand in the home section (no seats there would just get in the way) and sing, dance and cheer for my team HV71. It was a while ago now though but still enjoy going to the games when I have a chance and we barely managed to stay in the to league after an abysmal season... again. But hey, once you have chosen a team it is your team for life, what ever division it is in. That's my mentality.
you have to see shl sweden's highest hockey league
We will be in Gothenburg in a few days!
Swedish hockey games are fun especially when finals is coming up. It's a pretty big spectacle but LAGOMT enough, for years they used to play random rock music during downtime but it's slowly morphed into "supporter made" music which is kinda cool
I think Mats Sundin played most games in the Globe Arena, just next to Hovet. Back then, the Globe was brand new.
Hovet is old and they will demolish the stadium soon.
Mats Sundin didn't only play for Djurgårdens IF during the lockout season. It was the club he played in BEFORE joining NHL...
Mats Sundin was amazing. We hate him in Finland. 1992 and 1998 WC finals and 2006 Winter Olympics final all still hurt.
Edit: I think Sweden has the same gambling laws as Finland, where the only company that is allowed to market and provide gambling service is a state-owned company (Svenska Spel). That in reality is circumvented with companies that are in EU and not technically marketing gambling towards Swedes (or Finns), but they do weirdly (😉) have their website in Swedish. The thought is that if gambling needs to be a thing, then at least the profits would go to the state. But that also creates incentives for the state-owned company to provide more and more gambling to the public.
Sweden is ahead of us here, they already ended the state monopoly
"hate"
I saw Deep Purple play there in 1984. Awesome experience.
Cheers 🍺
In the premiere game 2014 between djurgården and växjö they had a noice meter, and the highest volume that was recorded was 130dB
Oh, my Home Team 😍
Share & make them famous
you need to go to the "pub" if you are going to drink strong beer. is roughly on the left side of the curv from your seat
Reminds me of pre-Towes era Blackhawks. We'd pray we never got power plays, they were such a disaster. Somehow, we managed to win games.
The clock is rung and djurgården does an goal how sweet it is to see djurgården make an goal yet again
Prob not best translation as I forget the verse but it’s fun verse we have
you have betrayed Finland!!!!
kidding of course :DDD
you have bars inside the arena that sells stronger beer, not allowed to take them outside the bar though :)
Great video! I don't support D.I.F, but it was still fun to watch!
Hope you have a chance to watch some SHL hockey. Welcome to Gothenburg and my Team Frölunda. Home of Henke Lundqvist, Alfie, and Huselius.
And off coarse brilliant hockey.
When Sundin played all games were played in Globen close to Hovet. To bud stronges beer you need to go to the bars. But usually the line is so long by the timme you get a beer its time to go back to the game.
You should go and watch HV71 in Swedens top division. The crowd there is amazing and they got great hockeyculture.
@JetLagWarriors You know that you ARE allowed to bring beer etc into the arena. =) Also, different arenas has different rules about beer and other alcoholic beverages. Some arenas you CAN buy stronger beer like 5.4% etc.. It's all about what license they have. 😃😃😃
Nice to see. 💛❤💙 D.I.F. Forever and ever.
come to Karlstad in Sweden to watch Farjestad Play.. 🤩
Check out Omnipollo's Kyrka. Great but expensive craft beer but it's a very nice venue, located in an old church.
Nice that the purce was still there. We went to see eurohockey tour game Finland-Canada in Globen around 2009-2011,dont remember the year exatly. We boozed all night at ferry from helsinki,had massive hangover in stockholm at morning. Buses were waiting for us at port to take us to globen. My bus was full of fans drunk as hell,they immediatly noticed that i was struggling with severe hangover and they all wanted to help ofcource. I had beer,mintliquer,vodka,vine and more vodka onthe way. Needless to say i started to feel ill (20 minute journey) and vomitted in a plastic bag that was professionally handed over just in time! And Voila,bus doors open,i step out and see 30 police officers in front of me saying All BAGS HERE RIGHT NOW,NO EXCEPTIONS!!!! I ofcource gave my bag right of way, the cop openened the bag full of puke and i said "just keep it,i got plenty". No problems with the cop,she just put it aside and said "NEXT". Finland won the game something like 6-1.
well you picked the right team so il subscribe
Avicii WAS from Sweden. Now he is making awesome music in heaven.
Gayest shit I've ever had to read.
think you should experience an SHL match and above all a playoff
Looks exactly like a D1 hockey game in the States
You get stronger beer at the state liquour stores. If the venue has the proper permit you get them at the place as well.
And yes, it's second division - almost entirely made up of former top division teams.
And "Hovet" is the smaller, older, arena in Stockholm.
Still in sweden youré welcome down to Gothenburg and game 3 of semifinals Frölunda- Skellefteå on wednesday. greetings MTL-fan
We will be at game 3 and game 4!! In Gothenburg
@@JetLagWarriors Perfect! Go Leafs go!
Swedish at football are great. And i mean fans. But also in hockey. My Finnish perspective.
It’s pretty much the same fans for many clubs. We go to hockey in the winter and fotboll in the summer. 😄
Nice to see you travel to Finland and Sweden for the hockey culture! Some Djurgardens IF and players to the NHL history:
1. 85 players from 1974 till today (2024) have been drafted to a NHL team from Djurgarden in the annual NHL Entry Draft. Kent Nilsson was the first sucsess in 1976.
2. Mats Sundin is regarded as the biggest Djurgardens IF player to play in the NHL. He was drafted 1# by the Quibec Nordiques from Djurgården in the first place, where he played for the youth and junior division and then fast advanced for the professional team while still underaged. Sundin had to play really hard, and was well schooled as DIF at the time was insanely tallented with International level developed players and was in the middle of a league THREE-PEAT championship (1989-1990 & 1991) so part reason why Sundin blossomed so early was that tough schooling he got from his peers, something he has openly expressed great gratitude for his development as a hockey player. Sundin left the team for playing in the NHL with the Nordiques for the 1990-1991 season, a move that was not with-out struggles from DIF, but things worked out eventually and all satisfied.
2. Djurgarden have had in the 90's and up a lot of tallented players that went to have a NHL career, including:
- "Magic Man" Kent Nilsson (1977-1987 = Winnipeg Jets, Atlanta/Calgary Flames, Minnesota North Stars & Edmonton Oilers. Won Stanley Cup 1987 & 2 Avco Cups with Jets)
- Tommy Albelin (1987-2006 = Quebec Nordiques, New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames & Devils again. Won 2 Stanley Cups in 1995 & 2003 with the Devils.)
- Mats Sundin (1990-2009 = Quebec Nordiques, Toronto Maple Leafs & Vancouver Canucks. First Non Canadian born to be selected 1# in the NHL Draft. A great leader.)
- Tommy Soderstrom (1992-1997 = Philadelphia Flyers & New York Islanders. Was greatly tallented but retired premature)
- Marcus Ragnarsson (1995-2004 = San Jose Sharks & Philadelphia Flyers)
- Mariusz Czerkawski (1994-2006 = Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers, New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens & Toronto Maple Leafs. 1st Polish NHL All-Star player).
- Johan Garpenlov (1990-2000 = Detroit Red Wings, San Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers & Atlanta Thrashers. Played in the 1996 Finals).
- Espen Knutsen (1997-1998 & 2000-2004 = Anaheim Mighty Ducks & Columbus Blue Jackets. First Norwegian born to play in the NHL All-Stars).
- Marcus Nilsson (1998-2008 = Florida Panthers & Calgary Flames)
- Patric Kjellberg (1992-1993 & 1998-2003 = Montreal Canadiens, Nashville Predators & Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Played in the 2003 Finals with the Dycks).
- Mikael Tellqvist (2001-2009 = Toronto Maple Leafs, Phoenix Coyotes & Buffalo Sabres. Tallented goalie that struggled to be in the NHL but otherwise played great in career)
- Nicklas Kronwall (2003-2019 = Detroit Red Wings. Won Stanley Cup 2008 and became known for his "Kronwalled" tackles. Became in 2008 a Triple Club Gold member)
- Mattias Tjarnqvist (2003-2008 = Dallas Stars & Phoenix Coyotes).

If you are staying a long time you should watch the Stockholm football derby on the 21st
Yes! We thought it was sold out, because the tickets were unavailable on some of the sites, but in the end, we found tickets!! So, we will be going. We don't have the best seats, but we will be there :)

@@JetLagWarriors Get ready for one of the best sports atmospheres in Europe! Get there early to see all the tifos!
Love Djugården and it was fun to though in NY rangers met philly at madison square garden'
No, the beer can be stronger, you only have to have a special permit to sell stronger beer (it's a bit strange that a hockey arena doesn't have such a permit), in stores, only the government-owned system company is allowed to sell stronger beer.
SEK 100 is about 8,70 euros, and didn't you say that you paid 9 euros for a bear in Helsinki? And there you got real bear, not 'folköl' of 3,5 %. So, cheaper?
At the time, I didn’t realize it was 3.5%!! With that factor added in, you’re right!!
You should go to a Västerås game next season
I agree with you that it should be a relegation in the NHL because to see Toronto Maple Leafs at this time of the season before the playoffs is completely uninteresting NHL should adapt the Serie system they have in Sweden.
32:58 Hiding a purse by the entrance is not a very good idea considering Swedens current threat level lol
Some other "famous" players that have played for Djurgården.
Mika Zibanejad
Niklas & Staffan Kronwall
Patrick Hörnqvist
Landeskog, Adrian Kempe, Kent Nilsson 💪
yeah the beer is 3.5% because higher % + sports = increase in fighting looking back at earlier games and supporter on supporter violence. Usually you pregame the match and have a light beer for the taste and just something to drink. better athmosphere for every type of fan.
yeah,except no fights in finland and we have the good stuff in arenas
