Interested to see how the Leafs come out. I'm expecting some nerves and a tentative start but maybe they'll surprise me.

I don't care if we win 6-5 or 1-0 just f***ing win!

Sure, if that's how you interpret that, then fine
Or,
Typically, with skill players, having them as healthy as possible is likely the best way to get the best out of them, and if he's one Debrusk or Frederic hit away from missing an entire series, I'd rather he didn't play.
Also, if your confidence in his series hinges upon Nylander (or any one player), then I could suppose that you're also quite close to conceding the series as well, no?

That's leadership
If it is a legit injury, what can one do? This is always the risk of playing a full season.

Will be interested to see his nerves. He is always a bit too fast for himself hope he slows his processing down and rely on his skill.

Should have sat at least Marner and him for game 82. Left Matthews to try for 70.
Other teams were benching guys for the playoffs

I've seen guys play with broken wrists, broken ribs, punctured lungs etc.
It's April 20th, not November 20th, It's game 1, you should be expected to play.

All this time we were scared for Matthews. Should’ve rested Willy in Game 82.

Well, his speed and shot is a threat, it has been his defense and lack of intangibles that prevent him from being trusted in playoff games. I expect him to score, that is how lethal he can be, I just also expect the other team to score two when he is on the ice.
As long as he is defensively responsible, he will do fine. Also, if Bruins take liberties against him, he is the type who the Leaf veteran players will rally around to defend.
Reaves has declared to the league this season that if you cross the line with our players, you will answer the bell and often in the next shift or two. Bruins won't get away with what they have in the past series that's for sure. Of course, Leafs have to avoid the box too, it is a balance.

He didn't even get to 100. Double whammy.
Such a Leafs thing to do. Play all 82 games chasing a milestone. Miss the milestone. Miss Game 1 of the playoffs.

Break Pastas body game 1 please. Don't let that man touch the puck without paying for it.
