Expressen’s venerable Gunnar Nordstrom conducted a lengthy interview with Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond today, discussing Raymond’s adjustment to North America…But it’s stuck behind a paywall, so all we get to read is the introduction.
“Especially to come over to a new country”
He had an assist already in his first NHL game with the Detroit Red Wings.
In his sixth game in a Detroit jersey, he scored a hat trick and had a goal-scoring pass.
And last night, Swedish time, Lucas Raymond played as the victory goal was scored in overtime in the away game against the Washington capitals.
The 19-year-old Swedish giant talent has had a great start to his professional career in North America.
“I want to be a productive player, so of course I’m happy with the start I’ve gotten with the Red Wings,” Lucas says to SportExpressen.
In this week’s big player interview, he talks about…
*The first time playing for the ancient Red Wings and Hockeytown.
*The feeling of being able to score a hat trick so quickly in the world’s best league.
*Which opponents in the NHL have impressed him.
*And the teammate with whom he shares an apartment now as he begins his career.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? I wish I could give you a rough translation, but that’s where the paywall hits.
