The last time the Deuce took a sabbatical, Dolph Lundgren welcomed you back. It’s been over half a year since we last posted and we know you’ve been jonesing for some of the good shit. Well we’re back, lady and gentlemen. So without any further ado, we’ll let Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pep Guardiola do the honors this time.

Sorry for the long absence but we needed to take some time off for life but luckily some of us realize that writing a half-ass blog is more fulfilling and time-wasting than “responsible” pursuits. Hopefully we’ll get back to posting on a semi-regular basis this week.

And as always your musical reference: I Know You Got Soul by Eric B and Rakim. Bonus Eric B for President!

Watch Peter Forsberg, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Markus Naslund, Victor Hedman, and Mats Zuccarello Aasen get their cook on at Swedish restaurant Mamma Mia.

Surprisingly, Forsberg didn’t injure himself making these videos. They didn’t burn the restaurant down either. That already happened in 1994.

These videos should start a trend. We’d love to see a group of boxers like James Toney, Mike Tyson, Roberto Duran and Evander Holyfield take over a kitchen. Gordon Ramsey should think about having them on Hell’s Kitchen. Imagine him trying to yell at one of them.

H/T to Slice and Serious Eats for the videos.

Watch this somewhat entertaining video of Swedish hockey player Almtunas Kim Karlsson forgetting to take his skate guards off when hittin the ice hard…and crawling back to the bench to get them taken off.  Oh those wacky Swedes!
