VIDEO: Maple Leafs prospect William Nylander guilty of water bottle cruelty

Another day, another highlight reel play by Toronto Maple Leafs prospect William Nylander.
Nylander may be talented, but we could do without his habit of being extraordinarily cruel to water bottles.
On Saturday, Nylander led Ornskoldsvik-based SHL club Modo to a 2-1 victory over Linkoping HC, and scored the game-winning goal. The goal itself was rather pretty, although an innocent water bottle was victimized on the play:
One day Nylander will be thirsty and unable to extract water from an uncooperative hydration vessel that's grown tired of this sort of treatment.
Maple Leafs fans can watch Nylander play hockey with Sweden's U20 team at the World Junior Championship later this month. Team Sweden's side of the draw will take place in Toronto.
