‘”All of us speak pretty good English, but it’s another thing with small talk,” Rochester goalie Jonas Johansson, 24, said following a recent practice at Blue Cross Arena. “It’s hard. You almost have to think before you speak when you’re with North American guys. It’s easy to feel like you’re sort of on the outside. You can understand what they say, but you don’t say anything because you have to think first. When you’re with your countrymen, you can enjoy the small talk a little better, that’s what I feel at least.”‘
