<p>On Tuesday, <strong>Marcus Johansson</strong> became the sixth Washington Capital to sign in Europe, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capitals-insider/wp/2012/10/30/marcus-johansson-signs-with-bik-karlskoga-in-sweden/" target="_blank">agreeing to a short-term contract with BIK Karlskoga of the Swedish Allsvenskan League</a>. Johansson is pretty much playing for free, as Karlskoga is paying his insurance, which is $5,000 a month.</p>
<p>On Thursday, Mojo suited up and made his debut, skating on Karlskoga&#8217;s second line as their right-winger. Wearing familiar #90, Johansson finished without points and a minus-1 in Karlskoga&#8217;s 3-1 loss to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ_8QUR61OU" target="_blank">Södertälje</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Johansson&#8217;s new teammate, <strong>Martin Thelander</strong>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152202571970702" target="_blank">posted a video on Viasat&#8217;s Facebook page</a> documenting a typical gameday for him. Johansson is included in the clip, interviewed by Thelander, who interviews Mojo with a banana.</p>

<p><em>Johansson is interviewed at the 1:08 mark. Translation by <a href="https://twitter.com/JacobWare95" target="_blank">Jacob Ware</a>.</em></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Subtitle:</strong> Tuesday, 08:12 A short chat with Mackan during the morning skate</p>
<p><strong>Thelander:</strong>&#8220;So the deal is done. Marcus Johansson to BIK. They chatted for an hour and then it was done. How does it feel, Mackan?</p>
<p><strong>Johansson: </strong>It feels great. It&#8217;ll be fun to play.</p>
<p><strong>Thelander: </strong>Now I owe you a McDonalds meal, with a milkshake. The other thing we had agreed on was that [one of our teammates] wouldn&#8217;t fart in the car. How did [the drive to the rink] go today?</p>
<p><strong>Johansson:</strong> Oh, it went really well.</p>
<p><strong>Thelander:</strong> Yeah, that&#8217;s why you&#8217;re here.</p></blockquote>
