I can vouch for Malik playing in Geneva, I was in the stands last week when he scored on his own goal against Zug.

No joke.

I've never heard a more awkward sound in an arena after a goal. Thankfully it didn't cost them the game.

Even though he's an upcoming UFA for me now, I'll still mention that Christian Backman is now playing in Sweden.
