I know some of those names, but who was Fredrik Handemark? That was 3 years ago and I don't remember him at all.

He was a great example of why you shouldn't get too excited about inserting non-roster players before you actually see them, a lot of this board were convinced he was the long term solution at 3C, he played 8 career games 4 years ago and was never heard from again

How does Liljegren look?

He looked good. Boxed out his man in front of the net and took his man on the boards. Great skating and was able to pass the puck out of his zone a few times. Made one rush. He did get running around in his own zone in one shift, he was chasing Peterson, but he might have been told to shadow him.

Not much to criticize, be looked poised and comfortable.

I recall he pinched in to keep the play alive on one play but other than that not much to report which is probably a good think as a dman where your team was out played most of the period. And the shot count is not too skewed so seems they were able to keep the chances against to a minimum.

If I remember correctly, wasn't that the last year of the Doug Wilson era and the team was starting to become really bad? Desperation was probably kicking in.

HNIC broadcast has offered clarification on the j/y Liljegren debate:

He asked to have the pronunciation changed to "Lil-jeh-gren" upon arriving in San Jose. Presumably that's closer to how it's actually supposed to be pronounced (or about as well as non-Swedes can manage) and he just never bothered to correct everyone while in Toronto.

So it's a Michalek/Mih-HALL-ek/Mih-KHALL-ek/Mik-KYE-lek thing.

It was the post-covid-shutdown division-only 56 game season in 2021, the team was looking like it had a chance to taken rebound after finishing dead-last in the west the year before and losing the Stuzle pick

We were throwing a lot of darts at the board in hopes of finding a gem of a depth player to supplement a team that was being led by Evander Kane in scoring, it was a bad time, a LOT of Dylan Gambrell that year. . .
