Nick Robertson pushes and injures teammate W. Nylander

[Deadly Dogma]

you would think he would try to correct his step instead of just freezing like a deer caught in the headlights.

to be fair, if the stick got him in a certain spot, he could have panic dove lol

 

[PaulD]

I think it was more of a concern by fans and some in the media, but Berube confirmed he is fine.

yup

Berube said Nylander “is fine”?

 

[Rob Brown]

Why is this even a thread? These 'boost' plays happen pretty frequently and Nylander is fine.

guess that's what 11.5m gets you these days, panic diving

I think so, I could have sworn I saw a quote from Berube saying he is fine and keeping him out was pure precautionary

guess that's what 11.5m gets you these days, panic diving

well the 11.5 gets you the skills and points, the stick is taxes lol

Who reported Nylander has a concussion?

There were a handful of comments last night from people who thought he was hurt and said he deserved it for diving. If he's OK, that's great, but those opinions are still f***ing trash.

I see

 

[enthuuusiast]

Idk why this is so funny, cracks me up everytime I watch it. Hope he's okay, though.

Leafs finally found their snot guy.

It was old time slap-stick (in this case “poke in the ass”) comedy.

This is embarrassing on Nylanders end, and I'm a huge fan.

It's clear Robertson is trying to boost him you see it happen all the time. Nylander feels the stick and assumed it's the opposition and he tries to draw a penalty by diving, resulting in him eating a knee to the head

It's very clear

 

[bleedgreen]

There’s no way that knocked him off his feet. Teammates do that goofing around sometimes, and I think Willy assumed it was an opponent and went down. Not the best time to goof around with a teammate and really poor location for throwing yourself on the ice.

Leafs team fail. You hate to see it.

Yeah, he clearly tried to get a penalty. Karma is a bitch, somtimes.

Refs should’ve taken them both, stick work and the embellishment.

 

[Borlag]

Wow, the leafs sure mean business this year. They're already in playoff mode. What a beast play by Nylander, showing what the laughs always do come playoff time.

Fall

 

[Golden_Jet]

OP jumping to conclusions on concussion, just because he didn’t return, doesn’t mean concussed.

 

[ZEBROA]

That was not a dive ha! ha ! He was on one leg on his way chasing the player who changed direction. At the exact same second Robertson decided to "help" him. Why would he dive in a meaningless game?
Hope he is ok. thats all.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Robertson ain't the brightest light in the Christmas Tree

 

[tfwnogf]

unfortunately both players were in cup or bust mentality; Robo with the tush push and Willy with the opportunistic dive

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Robertson does know what team he’s on….right??

What a f***ing idiot.

players do this often....

 

[Jee]

any update on Nylander?

When had another player done the “poke in the ass” boost in this situation? It’s don’t when one player is chasing another. This was into contact. And it’s preseason. Robertson made a stupid move and it resulted in an injury (maybe a concussion to a guy who has concussion history) to a very important player.

 

[TGWL]

His intentions were in the right place, especially since the coach told them to play every game like its' game 7, but this seemed like a really weird time to do that play. It looks like Leafs already had somebody back to break it up.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Nylander clearly dove and was trying to get a call. Jokes on him! Lol. Karma play.
