But with the stress on the second syllable, the G sound continued into the second syllable, and with a slight roll to the L.

 

Hu(g)-GLAN-der 

 

(Like how the Swedish women says it in the recording sample)

 

And for bonus level Scandinavian: 

 

Try singing it, and now you’re speaking Norwegian.

 

Try saying it with a hot potato in your mouth, and now you’re speaking Danish.

From Benning:

SN: And it looks like they’ll be joined by another young forward in Nils Hoglander, the 20-year-old who was the story of your camp. You said months ago that you thought Hoglander would be able to play in the NHL this season even though his stats in Sweden were just OK. How did you know?

 

JB: Because the things that he is really good at, we figured they would translate to the smaller ice surface and the North American game. He may look small but he’s five-foot-nine and 190 pounds and strong on the puck. In the scrimmage the other day, he went behind the net and battled Alex Edler for the puck twice. Eddie’s six-foot-three and 215 pounds, but this guy came out with the puck. He likes to battle. He’s a highly competitive kid. The way he skates, a real good release on his shot, we just thought the things he does well translates to the smaller ice surface. He shows up every day, puts his work boots on and competes.

 

Also, he's officially on the roster:

Time to move this thread! :towel:
