Oh yeah! Oduya! and Salo too.

Johnny Oduya
So the Indians have now landed a couple of interesting new recruits. Tommy Salo and Johnny Oduya are both ready to play with new contracts. Salo looks to be a good replacement for Henke Lundqvist who we lost to the Rangers. Salo is not the best goalie in the world, and he had a tough season last year with all the expectations at Modo. He has some pretty big skates to fill here in Gothenburg as well, it may be hard for him. We all loved Henke and sang to him nearly every night, it will be tough not having him around. But Salo is a professional and experienced, one or two good games and the crowd will be behind him.

Johnny on the other hand is that rare Swedish thing, a goon. He is tough, good on his skates, and racks up penalties like he was planning on going to hell and wants to be prepared. He sort of fought his way out of a job in Stockholm, was offered a farm contract by Washington, turned it down and came to Gothenburg instead. I have no problem with this, though I think we prefer tough guys who can skate and score to pure goons. Apparently he can actually play hockey so we shall see how it works out.
