Interview With Toronto Maple Leafs' Prospect Viktor Stalberg, Ft. Tyler Hill

As heard on "Leafs This Week"...

Andrew: Hey everyone, I'm here with my co-host Tyler Hill. How are you today, Tyler?

Tyler: I'm good, Andy. How are you doing?

Andrew: I'm great, thanks. Today, we're being joined by Viktor Stalberg, who was drafted by the Leafs in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft and currently plays for the University of Vermont in the NCAA. How are you today, Viktor?

Viktor Stalberg: I'm doing pretty fine, how are you doing?

Andrew: I'm good. So, let's get this interview underway. Let's get to know you a little better. Tell us a little about yourself and where you grew up.

Viktor Stalberg: Well, I grew up in Guthenberg, Sweden, and I started playing hockey when I was pretty young. Fortunately for me it worked out pretty well, and I got a tremendous opportunity getting drafted by Toronto a couple of years ago.

Andrew: Great. Tyler?

Tyler: When you were drafted by the Leafs, what was your initial reaction?

Viktor Stalberg: Well, you know, I was obviously very excited. I followed the draft online at my computer at my house and I was sitting there kinda by myself, but it was obviously a great feeling being drafted by such a tremendous team with a lot of history and hopefully a bright future sometime in the near future.

Tyler: I hope you can help us out with the bright future.

Viktor Stalberg: Yeah, I hope so. They're rebuilding next year and that expands the possibilities.

Andrew: You're definatly a great skater with a scoring touch. What do you think you can bring to a team like the Leafs?

Viktor Stalberg: I think I could play a couple of different roles, I'm just a big player and pretty good offensively. I think I can play a checking role, or maybe a top forward role as well. I think this year I've shown that I have been able to score some goals and put points on the board, and hopefully I'll get a chance to play that role, but in time I'll have to get acquainted with those roles to make my NHL career happen.

Tyler: You're known mostly as a scorer. Do you think there's any part of your game that you need to improve?

Viktor Stalberg: Well, I think there are lots of things that I can improve in my game. I got stronger this year, and I think I need to get stronger and more physical, so there are always things I can improve on, but it depends on my skill level. Some things, like skating and stuff, are already at the level and they don't need to be made better.
