Anton Gustafsson has great hockey sense, terrific hands and, above all, the eye of the tiger. (via his blog; h/t Ice Warrior)

Given that red bodysuit, I’m surprised he hasn’t caught the eye of a cougar.

Yeah, but thirty years from now…

If you've read this far...seek help.

How far up will this move him in the “Ranking the Capitals” voting, now that it’s clear he has such a disciplined and vigorous off-season regimen?

Unless someone that looks exactly like him broke in to Kettler (IINM), that looks genuine. And awesome, if I may say so myself.
Definitely Kettler. Definitely him.

Agreed. What a Man. In an all-red bodysuit, no less.

Love the shaved head.
Someone needs to save that video on a DVD and put it in a vault somewhere. Something this great cannot be trusted to YouTube alone.

Wow, just…. wow.
So many comments.
So little space.
OK, here are a few:
- Someone tell Santa his skivvies are missing!
- Please, please tell me that’s Mike Nylander.
- Is it normal for guys in Sweden to wear the unitard to the gym? Not there’s anything wrong with that…
- Yet another case of a naive youth posting a compromising video of themselves on YouTube. I mean, can you imagine what he’s gonna get from the team his rookie year for that high-budget gem?
- Paging Mark Nemish, please report to the stretching room…
But seriously, it’s great to see this side of a young guy. He will have a blast with the young guns.
1. Most important – the back looks healed up and ready to go.
2. I wish I was going to be in the locker room the first day of camp. The amount of jokes about that video are going to number in the triple digits.
3. He should fit right in with Ovi and Semin. I feel sorry for the hotel maids already. Lots of feathers to vacuum up.
This guy’s more of a goofball than even Ovi….I’m in love!
(the red spandex and missing tooth definitely didn’t hurt)

Oh my. That made me laugh. Thank you Anton. And he has an update that’s pretty funny:
It seems that my film debut spread across the Atlantic. No fewer than all the way to sweden! Now I have a lot of mail and telephone calls from the Swedish Gymnastics Association to wonder if I want to be in preparation for the 2012 Olympics in London. They claim they saw a video of a guy who shows great potential. They also explain that the guy in the video could be me.
Since I am not too familiar with the branch so I asked them to call my agent.
But of course it sounds a bit exciting? Gold in Rhythmic Gymnastics. Anton Gustafsson …
I have a long night ahead of me, but that may have helped a little.
Ha! That’s great.

In order of hilarity:
5. The red bodysuit-gotta admire a guy who’s willing to perform half-ass cartwheels in it and then post it on youtube for the world to see
4.The Ovie Smile- hockey players without a front tooth are classic
3. The shaved head- for a kid who’s got a great head of blond hair and then is willing to shave it off- well, he’s got my vote for wackiness
2. Shadow Boxing- If ever there was a guy who looks like he couldn’t punch his way out of a paper bag, it’s Anton. Semin now has at least one guy in the organization he doesn’t have to worry about.
And 1.-“Put it in my five hole, Sydney”. The possibilities for that one are just endless.
I’d imagine he’d deliver it similar to the axle-breaking that AO seemed to do.

OH DEAR
Did anyone get a copy of this video? I can’t read Swedish but I think Li’l Gus didn’t expect all the attention.
It’s gone. :(
IS PAЯTY NOW
He said that he will continue to make videos but not from the training facilities, some complains from the organization apparently.
