GDT: Group A - May 14 - Denmark (2) vs Sweden (4)

The only thing willie doesn't do well is fight hard for the puck on the boards, corners and down low. He does have a good stick for stealing the puck in those situations. He sometimes has positional lapses in his own zone. I'm a Leaf fan, just saying

Stop trying to turn the kid into a 99 ranked NHL 2017 xbox player. Celebrate him for what he is, an dynamic offensive catalyst. Its ironic that we love him in toronto, and people from his own country are trying to run him out of the rink and depreciate his abilities.

False. 1 or 2 people does not an entire fanbase

That's why Lindberg is on that line. He's great at those board battles and playing in the corners.

He does the dirty work in order to open up Nylander and Backstrom to work their magic.

That's some guy that probably had to see his own team get scored on by Willie at his short while in Sweden.

W. Nylander have his bad games as everybody too. If you have only watch one or two games, you might have gotten a false bad opinion on him.

Of course you don't know this, but there is a healthy chunk of swede fans that think nylander is a lazy trash player. So yes, ill defend him.

I think you exaggerate now, most intelligent Swedish hockey fans are aware of William is young and talented.

It's a bit too early to say how William will develop his defensive game, I'm not overly concerned with one of the best coaches in the game.

The majority love his game.
