‘Dahlin shrugged. He shrugs a lot, actually. He’ll shrug his shoulders if he’s unsure what to say, or shrug off a question – politely, as always – if he doesn’t want to say any more. Though Dahlin does have to grapple with something of a language barrier, you don’t get the sense that it’s the English he is still learning that holds him back in conversations. (His English is quite good; he can hold a full conversation.) He comes across as a guy who’s more focused on playing hockey than on talking about it.’
