ST. PAUL -As captain, sometimes guys expect you to step up,- Landeskog said. -Obviously if you see a guy isn't ready, you have to go up to him and make sure he is. Sometimes on the bench you have to call out a guy too if he's not doing his job right. We're all friends, but when we're at the rink and playing games we have to take that aside and must do what's best for the team. I think sometimes y all football games ou have to tell a guy what he's doing right or what he's doing wrong. You might have to say something you don't want to, but it's all for the team.-Zibanejad, born in Stockholm but now residing in Huddinge, said he recently was out to dinner with Senators captain and fellow Swede Daniel Alfredsson.-We got a chance to chat a little bit, so I'm really happy for it,- Zibanejad said. -Most of the guys all football games are very skilled in Europe. I try to add to my physical part of my game and play physical and try to add to my skill. That's the way the North American guys play, and that's why I compare to them.-Brodin and Klefbom were both born in Karlstad, are left-handed shots and have spent the last two seasons as teammates in Farjestad in Sweden's Elitserien. Brodin, who happens to be eight days older, is all football games the two-way defender who happens to showcase tremendous poise and calmness in the heat of battle. Klefbom, meanwhile, is prone to take more risks with the puck and, unlike Brodin, prefers a free-wheeling style.Brodin thought it was -cool- to be drafted by the hometown Wild and receive a nice ovation following the pick.-It was a fantastic feeling to be picked by Minnesota in Minnesota,- Brodin said all football games . -It's really cool to see so many Swedish players go in the first round. They are really good players - Adam Larsson, Landeskog, Mika Zibanejad. I know those guys; they're really good guys. It's very good for Sweden.-Rakell could turn out to be another Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins -- a player who performs bigger than his frame (6-1>@mike_morrealeAuthor: Mike G.
