Esa Parmborg had a strong season as a defensive forward with the highest DGR on the team among forwards while scoring 35 points. He defintely could have scored more as his points were down from the previous season but his focus was in his own zone which was a team need heading in S55. I'm very happy with his performance as he increased his blocks by a large margin and also had a decent amount of takeaways. He was very strong in his own zone and was effective in the offensive zone as well. I would attribute the lower points season to focusing more on D and playing as a counter attacking forward with more bachecking than he displayed in previous seasons. Next season Parmborg will try and remain as strong defensively while adding to his point totals and become a little more offensive in S56 than he was in S55. He led the dragons in post season scoring so the talent is definitely there for a big year.

Yes I absolutely think we could have an SHL team in Europe and if we did I think the Parma Chicken Parms would be an exciting place to play. Parma Italy has great food and obviously the parm flows like wine, so I could really see the city getting behind the Chicken Parms as a team. There would be a great fanbase, rabid and hungry for wins, especially on parm night which would pretty much be every night in Parma Italy. Travel from north america to italy may be a little challenging but im sure the league could work it out, SHL always finds a way.

I'm old and don't know much about this tik-tac thing but I think it's a place for young people to make short videos of them singing or something. I wouldn't really be into that but if it's anything like instagram there must be a lot of people posting pictures of food also. So I would probably say that Calgary goalie Kata Vilde would have a lot of followers. He kills our food thread in the dragons locker room with all sorts of delicious looking things he makes, from cakes to pies to pulled pork to chicken parm. He's an amazing chef so I would think if he posts videos of his food on tic-tac that he'd get a lot of followers. I know I would follow him.
