Tyler Seguin Won the Swedish Stanley Cup And Captivated A Nation In the Process
(Tyler Seguin after winning the Stanley Cup in Sweden)
Open letter to Tyler Seguin from news writer Beat Moning published in Swiss newspaper Bieler Tagblatt
Thank you Tyler Seguin
On 25 September you landed in Biel. A shy young man at first sight and after the first interviews. The first practice has already shown: What you will show us is Hockey at it’s finest. You played 29 Games for EHC Biel, scored 40 points. This alone says enough. But anyone who has seen and followed you through all these weeks can now really understand what hockey can be. Fine art. Sometimes you have taken a lot of risk, some passes didn’t arrive. Normal, you are only about 21 years old. On January 31 exactly on the same day that our Biel-born player Gaëtan Haas will get 21 years old. We would have liked to see you two together celebrating this anniversary with the team. Well you left us. We can not be angry. The contract expired, and you did not want to sign a contract till the end of the lockout. You will not only be remembered as the young man from Canada with the whimsical smile. What you have shown us on the ice, your speed, your technique, your eye for the right thing at the right moment and not least your hard shot, all this is unmatched in the 73-year history of EHC Biel. In other words, dear Tyler Seguin, you’ve made history in Biel. Even though you’ll probably never see this place again, we hope that you take one or the other positive memory with you to Boston. I’m sure one or the other people from the Seeland-region in Biel will come visit you in the National Hockey League. In order to remember a time that will never be forgotten. Thank you Tyler, all the best.
Holy shit dude. Get it together. Seguin was only in Sweden for like a month right? I mean he only played in 29 games. Yeah I agree that watching Seguin play hockey is like fine art, but still 29 days is 29 days. This guy sounds like he needs to be put on suicide watch now that Seguin left town. Either way this letter makes me miss hockey. They better figure this shit out ASAP!
its SWITZERLAND you fucking HEEB
Must have run out of smokes to tag..
this is an annual tourney in switzerland. Bergeron had like 3 goals and 4 assists in the championship some shit
dafuq – same thing. who cares?
This writer definitely gargles the D&B in his spare time. And I’m not talking about EHC Biel guy.
Sweden? What the hell? Time for a 3rd grader to sit in with you and do a little ‘journalistic fact-checking’ I’d say.
Not having hockey pisses me off a little more every day.
The pic was taken right after he won the Spengler Cup where he played for Team Canada.. Your trolling skills are unmatched when it comes to hockey shit.
Canada, just making the world a better place for fat, stupid Americans
Seguin plays like a prissy little bitch.
Evil One, we’ve been over this. Canada isn’t a real country.
Stop pretending you like Hockey David
Canada isn’t a real country eh? Shove it buddy…..you do realize that the Montreal Canadiens have 4X more Cups than the Bruins? The Habs almost have as many Cups as the whole choking city of Boston. Plus, the spygate Pats don’t even play in Boston.
Not to mention Montreal has waaaaaay better fans than Boston. You can hear a pin drop during any Boston game…it’s pathetic.
watching him play is like fine art? where do you come up with this shit?
locked out habs fan, 3 things
1.Canadien fans are in fact, the worst, rioting after a 1st round playoff loss??
2.most of those Cups were won when the Canadiens had provincial rights to the best Canadian players…
and finally, 1993
so you can go fuck yourself loser
@frank carlton. he does this on every blog. I stopped responding to his stupidity.
Who really cares about hockey anymore?

LMFAO you stupid US-Americans will never learn the difference between Sweden and Switzerland and what it’s all about “unable to look beyond the big pond” / “Rest of the World is laughing at you” – BIG UP to Canada & check out this clip with Tyler Seguin & Patrick Kane during their Lockout-Time in BNCity: http://youtu.be/qAj5Govv_xs
