“ I should probably eat something different” LOL atleast he’s self aware 😂

[@leangroundbeef2322]

Self aware of what? He’s a pro athlete. I’m sure he’s aware of how good he is 😂

[@ariasparrowmusic]

Karlsson just doesn't want to socialize pre-game and this is how he does it. XD

[@whysoseriousz306]

well hes Swedish so isolation it is..

[@rodbelding9523]

Erik has got to be trolling the camera with that meal, like there is no way lol.

[@dukke888]

playing italian tune in the back while erik hurting italians with his version of pasta😆

[@ThisOneCassie]

that is NASTY, we need more videos lik this.

[@doodlebob2023]

nasty is a word only black people use

[@Tenareful]

Please chef bob give us more revolting insights into player weirdness

[@enzone45]

Ill have to try this sometime! ❤ always more and different ways to enjoy mealtime... you do you Erik! 🤌

[@msully3]

Just missing maple syrup and pop tarts

[@RichardMcGuire-ik6fl]

Hopefully he is on the team next year. Just need to keep working to stay in shape during the off season. Nasty pregame meal

[@neeltheother2342]

I think we need to ask Brent Burns and Jason Spezza what they think lol

[@CoolsBreeze]

That meat sauce looks pretty damn good.

[@Dorkus_]

that is GNARLY 😂

[@FlavorCountryUSA]

This is great. Wonder what he’s got to eat on the off days in order to balance this gut bomb out. I imagine pepto bismo is on the menu from time to time

[@FelixWheatfield]

Outstanding. Where does he find the stomach lining for this? I almost don't believe it.

[@ShawnLangford]

I'd blow out my hockey pants if I ate that as my pregame meal.

[@yagulg9611]

We need another video of the team nutritionist’s reaction 😮

[@dinosaurclub]

great recipe idea thanks

[@Giggachad931]

Richard Mille while eating pasta karlsson is the goat

[@2K9s]

Nice! 👍

[@evangrayy]

This guy did not just put ketchup on spaghetti

[@idiotidiot5821]

Hes eating it hes not making it for you lol

[@zacharyalan4977]

Correct. He put it on there along with all the other stuff he put on it. Mmmm hot sauce.

[@corystansbury]

He's in Pittsburgh. We celebrate ketchup.

[@4lifeFanHabs]

That’s okay. I put ketchup on my spaghetti sometimes when the sauce doesn’t have enough flavour

[@alyssapowell1799]

Ketchup on spaghetti is very common in Sweden. It's something a lot of Swedes grew up with. Spaghetti sauce in a jar or can wasn't as available in Sweden in the 60s thru 80s as it was in the US and Canada so using ketchup on spaghetti or macaroni became a typical easy kids meal for parents.

[@omgDora]

i would have to nap for 2 days if i tried one of these

[@LaurenRicciardella]

Is it bad that I want to try this pasta monstrosity? 😂

[@realimjustjoshing]

As a diehard Pens fan... I think he might need to change the pregame up a little 😬

[@ryanmui3248]

had me up until the ketchup lol

[@user-jd1jm1kr4o]

молодець

[@davidmarcovitz1362]

Where is in the room

[@Icedkule]

my old room mate made something similiar we called it ghetto ghetti

[@greatvideos1446]

Hes eating ketchup with spagetti

[@Mikemathews33]

So delicious

[@TheOphrys]

He eats all that raw onion so that anyone gets into a corner with him, he just breathes at their face and they give him the puck.

[@tuckersdadnb]

^my thought also lol

[@idiotidiot5821]

More sauce than meal lol

[@CletusMcdonagh]

I dont like dry meal either

[@TK-421_66]

Only way that gets worse is if he uses Huntz.

[@toke7342]

Looks good to me.

[@NK24f]

Lionfield needs to see this

[@ratedRblazin420]

That's the grossest combo of food I have ever seen

[@TheLitokaira]

And he graps the fork like a toddler

[@justingarman6980]

Imagine his breath.. lol

[@noodle-cup]

All while wearing an RM lol

[@petergallina1610]

That's truly horrible. What a monster.

[@GUTOMOFFICIAL]

Traditional Swedish.

[@williamMikmaq222]

Hockey fans rule!!!!
GO BRUINS!
WE LOVE HOCKEY.... WHHHHOOOOOO.
Love Pittsburgh too.
Love every team!
Hockey is wicked pissa!
Boston, Massachusetts.

[@olevet75]

I can't believe, he's swed they don't eat like that!!))

[@povilitus]

Ok but is it eat n park ranch

[@theepicone8455]

the real question

[@HoverHP]

im sure hes gotten team fines before

[@sleepswithnopillow8413]

bro im a ketchup freak but thats ridiculous

[@jonpenguin303]

I thought for sure it was going to be " turnovers"😂

[@tysoncodes]

What the ....

[@Ryan-yi5ro]

Protein shake before the postseason golf trip. 👍

[@conrooks]

We've watched him eat minuses all year long. Wish Ottawa would take him back.

[@mph650]

Karlsson just needs a little creamy pesto and he’ll ditch the ranch.

[@brandonconnelly6562]

He's Swedish what do you expect lmao

[@AdrianMutu87]

about as much culinary as defensive judgement

[@tastysnivel]

White pasta is extremely bad for metabolism. I really wonder why almost every ice hockey player eats it before a game.

[@sbenn6917]

Well he might want to change up his routine because it's not working.

[@genoesposito2895]

I'm gonna throw up

[@talanlee223]

He butchered the pasta 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤢🤢

[@KHoltzie]

The only thing that belongs on chicken is bleu cheese-this whole ranch craze concerns, and confuses me at times! 🤮

[@colinmunro3266]

Ketchup 🤢🤢

[@maryjane8735]

YUCK!?

[@DL14204]

Based off the results of this past season, he should try something else and somewhere else.

[@alina-87]

Listen, he's a legend and I love him.... but no

[@freedomliberty83]

Gross lol

[@tednitta1785]

Hi in fat content, no wonder his game dropped off.

[@mattgajtka]

Utterly revolting

[@MeerkatManor74]

Maybe give back some of that salary and not focus on what he eats to score a goal every 30 games.

[@nunyabidnis5407]

Try a Play Some Defense gummy.

[@dalezegarelli5553]

No defensive skills at all!!!
