On Nov. 10 and 11, the Avalanche will take on the Ottawa Senators in Stockholm at the
2017 SAP NHL Global Series
. Landeskog, the Avalanche captain, is a native of Stockholm.
In the first edition of "KeyBank Sweden Fly Away" trivia (the Avalanche said more episodes are coming soon), Landeskog did his best game-show host impersonation as defenseman Erik Johnson, who was born in Minnesota, and defenseman Tyson Barrie, a native of Victoria, British Columbia, battled it out as contestants.
There were more than a few laughs among the teammates, and traditional game show buzz-in rules were violated, but it was good, clean, educational fun.
Bonus points to Johnson for using a Swedish sentence to answer a question. While we couldn't decipher the answer to the question, Landeskog gave him the point, and that's good enough for us.
