Well... here I am again with with my swedish sources :P .

I'll try to translate it:

Albelin beats Swedish Record

39year old Albelin won't give up. He turned down the offer to join the Devil's coaching staff and after a decent pre-season he have recieved an one year contract from the Stanley cup Champions Devils.

This will be Albelins 18th season in the NHL. That is one season more than Borje Salming who played 17 seasons in the worlds best league. Albelin will also become the second oldest Swede in NHL. Only Kjell Samuelsson played at an older age

Tommy is a loyal, proud Devil.

You are right, he is the epitome of a loyal player. Last year he kept getting called up and sent back down. It would have been easy for him to slack off and not take things seriously, but he didn't. He stayed in shape by working out and playing his hardest in Albany. Did he complain when he got called up? Never. "I'm just glad to have a chance to play. I'll do anything for the team."

If any team had 20 guys like that, they'd be in business.
