David Johnny Oduya (born October 1, 1981), usually referred to as Johnny Oduya, is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing for the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL). He is of Kenyan Luo descent on his father's side. Oduya is a two time Stanley Cup champion with the Blackhawks in 2013 and 2015.
Oduya's first club was Hammarby IF, where he played as a junior. In 2000, at the age of 19, he moved to North America to play in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He spent one season in North America, splitting time between Victoriaville Tigres and Moncton Wildcats. After moving back to Sweden, he played two seasons with Hammarby's pro-team in HockeyAllsvenskan before signing a contract with Djurgårdens IF in the Swedish Elitserien. During the two seasons he spent with the team, he was known as an aggressive defenceman and an enforcer. At times, he fought with opposition players and registered high penalties in minutes numbers. Despite this, he was also a dependable player and played regularly in the Swedish national team during the Euro Hockey Tour. In the 2005–06 season, after he had been dismissed by the Washington Capitals, the NHL organization that drafted him 221st overall in 2001, he moved to another Swedish team, Frölunda HC. With Frölunda, he played as a more offensive defenceman, scoring eight goals and 11 assists.
Hey, like a fallen angel I was on your side
You lighted the fire deep in my soul
Do you remember the stars shining bright?
I should retire under your control
In seven nights and days
Oh, you didn't think your thing would come crashing down
In seven lonely dreams
Oh, I know that you're not the one I'm waiting for
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, I carried the can
'Cause I let you go, all our bridges were burned
Oh boy, it's on the cards, I don't wanna return
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, you blew your chance
Love was not forever in your heart
Due to that we have to live apart
Nothing's forever, no use to try
There's no solution, don't make me blue
We tried together, I kiss you goodbye
This endless confusion should not come true
In seven nights and days
Oh, you didn't think your thing would come crashing down
In seven lonely dreams
Oh, I know that you're not the one that I'm waiting for
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, I carried the can
'Cause I let you go, all our bridges were burned
Oh boy, it's on the cards, I don't wanna return
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, you blew your chance
Love was not forever in your heart
Due to that we have to live apart
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, I carried the can
'Cause I let you go, all our bridges were burned
Oh boy, it's on the cards, I don't wanna return
Seven nights, seven days
Seven nights, you blew your chance
Love was not forever in your heart
Due to that we have to live apart
