san jose sharks used to have william eklund, fabian zetterlund, and mikael granlund and theyre all prettyyyy good! william eklund as the future face of the franchise and then ummm. fabian zetterlund as in the box of spare parts we got from the timo meier trade that flew under the goated radar and mikael granlund as the millstone around the pens neck that squared up exceedingly solidly as a sharks vet.

you may notice that william eklund is the only one still a shark. dont worry yet ^_^

at this time the san jose sharks roster is barely holding on. exploding from injuries, just generally NOT VERY GOOD, we still manage to scratch kevin labanc for half a season.

mostly funny is that we have a bunch of forwards with a -lund surname on our team. we dreamt of a lund^3 line.

then. THEN!!! we get william eklund and fabian zetterlund together on a line! our lund^2! sharks broadcaster tara slone calls them the swedehearts ^_^

actually just peep the shrimer on their shriendship.

we do get the lund^3 line BTW. our top line who plays great very serious hockey. fabian zetterlund says mikael granlund is like a dad to him and william eklund and mikael granlund says fabian zetterlund is a fugly hag.

WE SEND FABIAN ZETTERLUND TO OTTAWA BTW. william eklunds name goes trending on twitter after that

and like a week later its casually mentioned that fabian zetterlund and william eklund found out together. at a sauna. together. from another friend of theirs rasmus sandin calling fabian zetterlund. and they think its jokes and japes!!!! NO ONE HAD THIS ON THEIR BINGO CARD!!!

is it worth mentioning that after the trade everyone very politely understood that william eklund is the main character of this.

heres the emotional rodeo we collectively get sent on:

As far as William Eklund is concerned, the San Jose Sharks traded a literal family member in Fabian Zetterlund away. “He’s family for me, his family is my family. We hang out. We have Christmas together,” Eklund said on Monday, after declining to speak on Saturday about the Trade Deadline deal of his best friend to the Ottawa Senators. “That’s one of the toughest days of my life.” -- "eklund on what zetterlund meant to him, being tired of losing"

"I know William's gonna get right. Right now, it's just a lot of emotions right after when it happens," Wennberg said. "The same thing with Fabian. I called him last night, and it's not easy. You pack your stuff, and you're gone in a heartbeat. It's gonna be different. I probably have to be a little bit of a Fabian to save [Eklund] a little bit." -- "sharks react to fabian zetterlunds departure"

Eklund, on how he found out about the Fabian Zetterlund trade: We were having a sauna. We’re taking a sauna together, and we came out of the sauna. Saw the call. Never going back there, that’s for sure. (laughs) Eklund, on how often he hung out with Zetterlund: Everyday. Eklund, on how Zetterlund helped him in his NHL career: It’s tough. It’s tough. (chokes up) -- "eklund taking zetterlund trade hard"

SO. thats sort of what we are emotionally working with . no one handled this trade well. i dont want to talk about what my dash looked like.

a large aspect of our grief came from being a team in rebuild that would explode all our good players in exhcange for young players BTW. keep this in mind. our crazy turnovers.

but. anyways. jump to present day . sharks beat reporter sheng peng fujos too close to the sun . fabian zetterlund says he misses weklund the most out of all of san jose

sharkudablr bloggers that were there for that era of shrockey lose their marbles about it a little bit. (a lot bit.)

goose pacific-coast-hockey describes the guys who were part of the transitional phase of shrockey as incubators. van puckpocketed and i get in on that fabbepreg grindset. (comment section).

i get so seized by lust that i start fantasizing about fabian zetterlund laying eggs frogstyle. i think i ought to be put down like a horse for the things that passed through my mind in regards to this.
