Linus Klasen gets a question about Joel Lundqvist.
Then he does not hold back.
– If I’m better than him at ice hockey…?
Linus Klasen returned to the SHL two years ago and was then one of the league’s best players. He came from six straight seasons in Davos, Switzerland, where he conceded points, and scored 42 points in 50 matches for Luleå.
Joel’s boot
But it is not just for his play on the ice that Linus Klasen has become a real profile. He is considered by many to be a real talking bag and it is not often he holds back when he gets questions from reporters and fans, no matter how controversial the subject may be.
When Linus Klasen visits the hockey podcast Släpp Sargen, a clear example of that comes. He gets a straight question whether he is better or worse than the Frölunda icon Joel Lundqvist – and it does not take long before the boot arrives.
– Joel Lundqvist is good at what he does. But I can only say like this… That I have 1-0 on him in drawings, he says.
“It’s a no-brainer”
The former SHL profile Robin Figren, who is one of the presenters in the podcast, then says that “Lundqvist does not have much left, if you remove his drawings”.
– It should be the physical then… But there are two completely different types of players, says Klasen, before he continues:
– But all in all, all inclusive, so if I’m better at ice hockey? Asså… I think it’s a no-brainer actually.
After his stay in Luleå, Linus Klasen leaves for mirror in the Swiss second league, where he scored a total of 57 points in 43 matches last season. With that, he was only beaten in points by a Swedish player in the league, namely Robin Figren…
