?He?s feeling fine, but we made a late decision about him not attending this media conference,? Bergsten said. ?It?s more about the attention. We called this press conference to clear things up a bit, but we decided late that William, we would like to protect him a bit.?

Bergsten didn?t say what they were protecting him from.


From the unfounded, obtrusive, and gratuitous speculation which is The Star's stock in trade?

Reverse vampires. They're everywhere in Finland this time of year.

From the article:

Feltenmark added it was the Swedish team?s decision ? and not Nylander?s nor the Maple Leafs ? to cancel Nylander?s participation.

Yeah, I read that. The fact that they decided to clarify that is what made me think it was Lou's call

I think we should leave the speculation to the experts.  EVERYBODY PANAC.

markhmasters: At news conference, Swedish officials were asked several times whether Leafs played role in cancelling Nylander presser, they denied that

I mean, sure, they could just not want to admit it, but, I don't see why. It would be the simplest way for them to explain what happened.

Yeah... I mean that again sounds exactly like something Lou would have told them to say.

Your version of Lou is much more Mafia Don than mine.

I think it's a shot across Nylander's bow. Either cut your hair before your press conference, or I'll come over there and do it myself.

I think it's really arrogant when these Swedish papers don't bother to provide a parallel English translation. Or better yet, just publish in English instead of Swedish and leave it at that. Honestly.

Maybe he didn't have a suit?

Has anyone heard when we will have an update on Nylanders condition? I guess he will be going thru full evaluation as I type.

If previous instances where players have concussions are any indication, regular scheduled updates don't tend to be par for the course.
