Well put, was going to say something similar. If any one of our stars is overly sensitive, I'd say it's Marner without question. Nylander on the other hand is cold as ice, I almost wonder if he feels anything at all.

Poor guy said he wasn't even aware of the huge social media campaign to get him to the asg. He doesn't give a duck, in a good way

3 main playoff guys need to be matthews Tavares and NYLANDER to end the slump.
Stop featuring marner and running it through him. He's no.4 in spring.

'Pissed off' Nylander takes rare retaliation penalty; Keefe: 'I kind of like it'
William Nylander took a roughing penalty for retaliating following a check by Nick Blankenburg on Saturday. "I shot the puck and then a couple seconds later he tried to hit me so I just felt pissed off," the winger explained. It was Nylander's seventh penalty of the season. "When is the last time you saw Willy Nylander retaliate or something like that," coach Sheldon Keefe said. "I kind of like it, to be honest. If they want to take runs at him every now and again, he is going to make the other team aware of it."
Yeah, I thought that was a display of emotion you don't see very often at all.
Perhaps the first step towards dropping the gloves? Okay, okay you're right that isn't happening.

Good that Keefe likes it. Better if he lit a fire under Matthews, he's the one that really needs to show his teeth every now and then.NHL Videos - Highlights and Analysis from the National Hockey League

Now let's see him not pull up and put Sergachev or Hedman through the boards.NHL Videos - Highlights and Analysis from the National Hockey League

So let's turn a top player into a meathead 4th liner where he has to answer for a hit.
Brilliant idea...
He does that because he wants to steal the puck from them and keep the play going instead. Weird concept, I get it.

I love the fire, no problem with the penalty. But all I ask is next time this happens, make sure to run up the score on ol' Blankencheeseburger and CBJ even more. Nylander looked like he was ready to pop off for a hat trick before that incident and it all kind of got sidetracked afterwards.
No problem with the retaliation. Would love to see Matthews with the same fire as well.

Sergachev is a kitty cat. If the Leafs were a meaner, heavier hitting team, that guy would be the perfect player to focus in on and hammer on every puck retrieval. Give him the Boston on Jake Gardiner treatment.

Maybe I'm wrong but when you see the replay of the Nylander penalty from this angle, how much contact does he make with him?
It kind of looks like Blankenburg might have sold it with the way he falls down after Nylander made contact with him. Maybe Tampa see's that and will try and trade for him, because they were great at faking penalties in Game 6 when it looked like they were about to get eliminated.

Blankenburg definitely sold it, but Nylander looks to be fairly inexperienced with this kind of retaliation and probably didn't know how to conceal it.

One more goal to thirty Willy! Dont let the eagel grab u! (in scottish accent).
Really loved what Willie did last night. Imagine he starts doing that every shifts.
If it comes down to Willy at 9-9.5 x 8 or Matthews at 14-15 x 8 then see ya Auston. But hopefully we can keep them both and Mitch too. Tavares can take a 50% haircut or GTFO.

JT at $5.5m is an overpayment. Bergeron contract like a good hometown boy or take a lap.

$2.5m plus possible additional $2.5 based on performance bonuses, not guaranteed
He makes the other 2.5m by playing 10 games. It's essentially guaranteed. It's just a loophole to steal some cap from next year and use it this year.
And Tavares won't even be able to do that, because he won't be 35 or eligible for performance bonuses yet.

Link to video of Matthews, Engvall, and Keefe talking about Nylander's roughing penalty and saying 'It shows intensity' and 'A little more breathing room.'

I was screaming this at the game. He dropped like a soccer player.
Refs wouldn't listen tho.
