TORONTO - It may take time for the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect William Nylander to get used to North Americas physical style of hockey.Its a different story off the ice, where Nylanders roommate is making sure he enjoys some of the comforts of his native Sweden.Nylander will make his highly anticipated American Hockey League debut Friday when the Toronto Marlies visit the Hamilton Bulldogs. His adjustment to life in Canada has been made easier by Marlies rookie defenceman and fellow Swede Victor Loov, who is living with Nylander in Toronto.Hes cooking food and that kind of stuff all the time so it makes my life easy, said Nylander, the Leafs 2014 first-round pick. Swedish meatballs. Ive been here now three days, had Swedish meatballs like seven times so its good.It has been a whirlwind month for Nylander, who began January playing at the world junior hockey championship in Toronto. Nylander led Sweden with 10 points in the seven games as the Swedes finished a disappointing fourth after cruising through the preliminary round with a perfect 4-0-0 record.Following the tournament, Nylander returned to Sweden and appeared in two games with Modo of the Swedish Hockey League before being summoned by the Maple Leafs to join the AHLs Marlies.We like what weve seen from William through the first half of the year and through the world juniors, Maple Leafs assistant general manager Kyle Dubas said last week. Now its an opportunity for him to come over and get acclimatized to playing in North America.The Leafs had to make a decision on Nylander before Jan. 16. After that he would have needed to remain in Sweden for the rest of the season before being eligible to come to North America.Nylander, who made a switch to centre this season, will likely start Friday on the wing alongside Greg McKegg and Spencer Abbott.For him its about getting back in to the scheme of things and how we do things here as a group and our systems, said Marlies coach Gord Dineen. We have a group thats really bought in lately and were playing a pretty strong team game.We want him to be a part of that and add to it with his skills.For Nylander, who had eight goals and 20 points in 21 games with Modo this season, the biggest adjustment will be the smaller ice surface.Its been good. Getting into it. Getting used to the time difference and everything so its good, he said. It felt like you had more time out there (on the big ice) so it was good. It was different, but now Im back here and already half adjusted to the ice.For me, its just the first time when you get on the North American ice its a bit different, but then after maybe 2-3 days, youre used to it so it doesnt really take that much time to adjust to.Nylander will have to adjust to how and where handles the puck. At the world juniors, playing against his own age group, the 18-year-old was able to cut through the middle of the ice at high speeds and not get hit. That will change in the AHL.I think thats one of the aspects of his game that we want him to improve upon, said Dubas. I think at the world juniors you see he does put himself in positions with the puck where he gets run at and hit a lot. Its not going to take long to take some hits from men where hes going to know not to do it again.Loov, a teammate of Nylanders for parts of three seasons in Sweden, said the teenager will have to make adjustments.On the ice, its a totally different game here. Its more about positioning. Not running around so much in the defensive zone, said Loov, 22, who has 11 points and a plus-5 rating in 38 games this season. It was a big adjustment, but Im working on it.He also had some words of advice for his countryman.Dont hold on to the puck too much cause the guys easily close gaps, thats the biggest thing, Loov said. Heads up because people can run over him, because hes not the biggest guy so heads up and move your feet.Off the ice, Loov is happy to have someone around who laughs at his jokes.Hes a little bit younger than me, you can notice that, Loov said. Hes not that mature, but hes just 18. Hes funny, he likes my jokes, thats the best thing. We just play video games as usual. Then we hang out with other Swedes. Going for dinner. Went to the movies the other day (American Sniper). It was OK. Some of the guys thought it was a really good movie, but nah, just OK.Nylander has added motivation to succeed in North America after watching his good friend and Czech native David Pastrnak get recalled by the Boston Bruins following the world juniors. Pastrnak registered four goals and an assist in seven games prior to the NHL all-star break.The work hes put in, he deserves to be there, said Nylander. Were really close buddies back home so I mean seeing him score makes me happy and inspires me to keep working and hopefully one day Ill get the chance. Even if its not this year, maybe next year. Thats your goal. Camiseta Barça 2019 2020 .m. on Friday. Granger was acquired from the Indiana Pacers last Thursday for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen, but never played a minute for Philadelphia.

Camisetas Del Barcelona Baratas .com) - It appears both the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls will reach the playoffs, but the two squads are coming off losing efforts.Austin, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - A showdown between two of the Big 12s premier teams turned out to be no contest at all. Five Oklahoma players finished in double figures and the 16th-ranked Sooners held Texas to 30 percent shooting en route to a 70-49 rout of the No. 10 Longhorns in front of a stunned crowd at the Erwin Center. Buddy Hield led Oklahomas balanced attack with 13 points, with TaShawn Thomas compiling 12 points and 11 rebounds as the Sooners (11-3, 2-0 Big 12) rolled to their fourth straight win. I like the way our guys played, said Sooners head coach Lon Kruger. I thought their focus from start-to-finish was really good defensively. It was Oklahomas defense that set the tone for the lopsided victory, though, as Texas (12-3, 1-1) continually came up empty while being swarmed on possession after possession. They just punched us in the mouth, said Longhorns forward Jonathan Holmes. Javan Felix was the lone Longhorn to reach double-digit points, finishing with 13 points. Texas doomed itself with a major cold stretch right out of the gate, misfiring on 11 of its first 12 shots as the Sooners raced out to a 13-3 lead behind 3- pointers from Hield, Isaiah Cousins and Ryan Spangler. The Longhorns kept on missing, resulting in a 33-14 deficit at the end of a first half in which Texas went a miserable 6-of-30 from the field. Texas had some looks that didnt go down, and that always helps, but I thought our guys had a little to do with that, Kruger said.dddddddddddd I thought our perimeter guys from the weak side did a good job trapping the post. I thought our awareness on the weak side was pretty good and we didnt really get hurt when we trapped the post. Oklahoma didnt let up after the break, as Cousins drained a pair of triples to highlight a 9-2 run to begin the second half that staked the Sooners to a commanding 42-16 advantage. The Sooners led by at least 20 points the rest of the way, with the margin swelling to 56-28 when Dinjiyl Walker followed a Thomas bucket with back-to- back layups, the last coming with 9:41 left to play. Cousins ended 3-of-5 from beyond the arc in a 12-point effort, while Walker and Jordan Woodard contributed 10 points each for Oklahoma.
