Nicklas Backstrom trolls William Nylander in ridiculous Swedish ‘interview’

Nicklas Backstrom’s friendship with William Nylander of the Toronto Maple Leafs is one that has been well-documented over the years. Dating back to father Michael Nylander’s time as a Washington Capital, Backstrom and the young Nylander spent a lot of time challenging each other to ping-pong matches. They lost touch after William’s father was traded to the Rangers, but reconnected when William was drafted to the NHL by the Leafs in 2014.

In more recent history, the two interviewed each other in a totally natural and completely candid Sportsnet feature, which was sweet, if a little awkward. But now they’ve topped with with a new interview.

In video posted by NHL Sweden on Friday, Backstrom was back in the interviewer’s chair as he asked Nylander a series of increasingly ridiculous questions, which have been translated to English by RMNB’s Magnus Cadelin. You really need to experience this in all of its wonderful, trolling glory.

Since leaving the Hershey Bears in mid-November, Capitals prospect Axel Jonsson Fjällby has struggled to find the net.

After scoring his first AHL goals in October, things dried up for the luscious-haired Swede, going 33 games in a row without denting the twine in the SHL, before today’s game versus Mora IK.

AJF did it in a style we’ve seen before.
