Swedish Meatballs


A quick excerpt from a must-read Ian Mendes column on new Senators prospect Erik Karlsson:


"I let Erik take three or four bites of his meatballs before I ask him to give me his opinion. And much to my surprise, he has a favorable review.

"These taste just like the ones at home. I would definitely come here and eat my meatballs," he declares, wiping the lingonberry sauce from his chin.

And as much as I was surprised by his love for the IKEA meatballs, Erik had a bigger bombshell in store for me.

"You know, I've heard a lot of Swedish players in the NHL will go to the IKEA in their city to buy their food," he divulges to my amazement."
