According to Aftonbladet, Ekholm and Janmark are the only Swedes in NHL history who have lost three finals.
Ekholm twice with Edmonton, one with Nashville. Janmark twice with Edmonton, one with Dallas.
I have not had time to digest this yet, but it is painful, says Ekholm to Aftonbladet after the loss in the sixth final match.
Not fun at all. It sucks, it was not supposed to end like this.
However, the Swedes are not the worst. For Corey Perry, it was the fifth final loss since 2020.
Amid the disappointment, Ekholm has not given up hope of someday getting to lift the Stanley Cup trophy.
I really hope we do that. Right now I can not think clearly, it is so frustrating, but we have all the right characters in this team.
Also, Swedes John Klingberg and Viktor Arvidsson were part of the losing team.
