Spector with the double L here. Doesn't get Elias Pettersson's nickname right (EP40 not EL40) and then says you can't win with a lot of Swedes. For reference, Detroit had 9 Swedes on their 2008 Stanley Cup team and 0 players from Saskatchewan.

One thing that should be noted about Sam Steel is he was on the Team Canada's World Junior Team in 2018. Since Hockey Canada won't release the names of the players involved in the suit, Canucks really have to do some due diligence before signing this player.
