Awesome. Third European captain of a CHL team?

[Washington Capitals]

He deserves it. A true warrior.

Sweet. Father Tony must be proud.

Landeskog is my favourite player who doesn't play for London in the OHL. He is very skilled and he does not shy away from the physical aspect of the game. Aside from Backstrom he is my favourite Swedish player. He definitely deserves the captains role.

Great news. He'll definitely get a letter at the WJCs I reckon.

Here's an article:

Funny story about Landeskog from this past summer.

He was at a party in Sweden and he was speaking english to a visitor from Canada. A Swedish girl heard him speaking english and asked him if he was Canadian. As a joke he said he was a hockey player from Canada and wanted to play eventually in Sweden and came over to learn the language and culture. The girl then decided to teach him Swedish for the next hour and told him..."wow, you really picked up on Swedish really really fast!!"
