Speaking with the Swede

[Kirby 27]

It’s been a week or so since we last caught up with Houston hotshot Maximilian Kirbsson. He joins us now to discuss the teams progress as we near the half way stage of the season, as well as his individual performances so far:

 

KIRBSSON: “Things are picking up for us. We are starting to play really solid, tough defense and teams are having trouble breaking us down.

 

Coach always tells us: if you don’t concede, you usually don’t lose. So yeah, we are going with that motto at the moment.

 

Im really confident in our chances this year, at least of making the post season. As a unit we are like a band of brothers. It doesn’t matter what line you are on, what your playing time is, it’s irrelevant.

 

Yeah the boys in the second line have really upped there games. It’s awesome to see. I think a lot of teams fear us right now, and I don’t blame them.

 

It feels good to be second on the team for points. Jurri obviously had such an electric start to the season, but I think he feels me in his rear view mirror now.

 

** Kirbsson smiles, as if it’s only a bit of banter **

 

Life’s good. And hey, I look brown right? It’s sun tan. Us Swedes don’t have that luxury very often.”
