"P.J. Axelsson, who appeared in 797 NHL games (all with the Bruins), has signed a four-year deal with Frolunda of the Swedish Elite League, his former club. The signing closes the door on Axelsson's Bruin career, which included 103 goals and 184 assists. Axelsson, the team's seventh-round pick in 1995, established himself as one of the league's best defensive forwards (Boston.com)."
Was never a big Axelsson fan, but you have to give credit to a who played 797 games for the Bruins. He was a great penalty killer, and really did whatever the Bruins wanted of him. I guess if you can to compare him to another Boston Icon I would go with Troy Brown. No questions asked, he just does what he is told and what is best for the team. I wish him the best of luck, still there is a part of me that is happy he is gone...
