Hopefully he can get his life back on track but i don't see how this works out in NYC. I think he really doesn't want to be a Ranger anymore and is hoping for a trade. Dud of a pick but whatever. Maybe they can attach him into some kind of draft day deal.
Lias Andersson: "It was bad habits"
Lias Andersson found joy in hockey when he returned to Sweden.
In an interview with the Gothenburg Post, he shares more details about life in New York.
A life with bad habits, sleep problems and poor self-confidence.
Lias Andersson returned to Sweden from the New York Rangers in January. The 21-year-old did not feel well mentally and has been open since his return with how he has measured.
In an interview with the Gothenburg Post which met Andersson in connection with an ice pass in Kungälv, he opens up some more details
- I sat playing video games all night, just waiting for the Swedes to wake up at home to go to work. So I could call and talk some shit, like. It was bad habits, he tells the newspaper, and says he also struggled with poor self-confidence.
"Sleep tablet now and then"
The bad habits also led to sleep problems.
- I had trouble sleeping and started taking a sleeping tablet every now and then. Sat up late, played video games. It could be worse if I let it continue, he admits.
The future is unclear
The future is not carved in stone yet. There can be games in HV71 and there can be games in the NHL.
- I have no idea what's going on. No fucking idea whatsoever. I just practice - and see what happens. I'm open to anything. I just want to have fun. I just want to play hockey, he says.
