Yeah, I remember she did an interview on the Flames website a while back and she told a story about how her friends in Sweden bug her for becoming too Canadianized, which she always denies. Then, one day, she was telling them about something she and Mikael were planning on doing when they got back to Calgary and she said "when we get back home", and her friends jumped on it saying she doesn't even think of Sweden as her home anymore (all in good fun, of course).
Also, I believe both their kids were born in Calgary, so they'll always have that connection to the city.
