Where can one watch the Stanley Cup in Stockholm, Sweden?

What bars or restaurants will be showing these last few Stanley Cup games in Stockholm? Are there any that will remain open that late?

Did a little Googling & found "the number one sports bar in Stockholm" - O'Leary's. Their programming list for today shows the Bruins-Blackhawks coming on at 2:05am local time. Enjoy!

Google's translator says the front page of their website begins with the words: "Boston's sports. Lots of sports and especially basketball, baseball, American football and ice hockey. It can not fail to see when visiting O'Leary. O'Leary many walls laden with trophies and if you want we can also explain the rules of baseball and the American version of football." Which I find encouraging!

(Yes, I'm a Bostonian. I'll spare you my "Go SportsTeam!" in the spirit of good sportspersonship.) :)

omg, that's the same O'Leary's that's in T2 at Changi where I get my Bobby Orr fix. I had no idea it was elsewhere. Good to know.

Response by poster: It sounds like O'Leary's isn't actually showing it, alas. We tried calling and it sounds like that list is just a list of sporting events coming up and not necessarily what they are showing.

Thanks!

Drat! Sorry! It looks as if many Swedish sports bars have the same type of thing - a full listing of what sports programs are showing on TV (all of them, and not necessarily only the ones showing in the bar). I'll poke around a bit more to see if I can find you anything (had a great time watching big American games at Dutch pubs while I was working there - a really nice way to meet ex-pats and feel connected to friends back home as well as the sport itself).

Ah, it looks as if this page shows all games/matches showing at Stockholm sports bars on [today's date] - click on the match and it pops up with a list of which bars are showing that particular game/match. No hockey today (just Wimbledon & football/soccer), and I don't see a way to look forward to see if the other final games will be shown other than checking in day-of.
