Dick Axelsson made a comeback after his injury.
And became a big match hero for Djurgården in Kalmar.
Afterwards, he offered perfectly sensible words about himself.
Back after injury – then decided Dick Axelsson Djurgården’s away meeting with Kalmar, 4–3, in HockeyAllsvenskan.
– Great, it was a bit of revenge for the post hit before and all the other bad shots. The sun rises sometimes too, he tells TV4 Play.
Axelsson’s words
Djurgården lost 2–0 to 2–2 and then 3–2 to 3–3 before the 37-year-old scored the winning goal after 1.13 minutes of extra time.
– I take all the goals I get, I’m old and tired, I’m struggling.

Axelsson, who left Djurgården in the spring of 2022 but is now in his third stay at the club, played his first game after the injury in mid-October.
– Damn, how boring it has been, but also useful to train the body, he says.
– I came here to play, only eight so far but now damn it I’m going to play on.
The contract with Djurgården extends over the season.
