Me neither, and I still can't get my head around how a Swedish team got that name.

I thought it was interesting that the 3rd hilight clip had him scoring on the Swedish team with the English name 'Lakers'. Vaxjo Lakers has no 'ring' to it.

Latest update from Hot stove on Nylander and Rinat Valiev:
http://mapleleafshotstove.com/2014/11/10/maple-leafs-prospect-update-november-9th-2014/
as I look at the points for our guys there is an interesting stat. someone named Pierre Engvall with Frodelunda U-20 Super Elite has 20 points in 16 games..lets keep an eye.
Marlies don't seem to be scoring very much?

Nylander had Modo's only goal in a 2-1 loss yesterday, now has 12 points in 9 games. Also played just over 24:00!
I know nothing about the Euro leagues so maybe someone here can help me understand something.
Modo appears to have played 19 games but Nylander has only played 9. Was he injured? Benched? How is he doing? Also, what is up with his name - William Andrew Michael Junior Nylander Altelius? I thought he was just William Michael Nylander but when I went to look him up this morning I see that he has more names than some whole families.
Forsberg Has High Praise for Nylander

Michael said:
He joined Modo late after NHL preseason and there was a small delay in getting him signed as well. So Modo had already played games before he signed.

This kid with all those names is doing fantastic and will certainly be with the big club next year.
I would like to see him build about 20 Lb of muscle in his upper body to do some bruising or at least be able to handle some of the punishement he will face in this league.

Even with a drop off, his performance is sensational, how long before the Toronto media is sending crews to cover every game?

Supposedly after their last loss he told Swedish report Joonas Siegelsson: "Komma bort fr?n mig."

Man, he really invited Siegelsson to run his hands through his majestic hair?Potvin29 said:

Is it still assumed that Nylander will go to the WJC, or is there any chance that MODO either can or does choose to keep him because of his performance?

I've never heard of a European club blocking a prospect from the tournament before. And even if they somehow could, I'm sure the Leafs made sure that wouldn't happen when they agreed to loan him to there.
