Nick Robertson pushes and injures teammate W. Nylander

[BLONG7]

Players in general all go down too easy in order to draw a penalty...............backfired big time for Willy.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Why would you go down for a light tap especially in preseason. Not really sure what Robertson did was beneficial either but Nylander went down like a sack of potatoes.

 

[Suntouchable13]

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

If that's the case, it makes me question his IQ. Why dive in a preseason game? Why dive at all just because you feel a stick? f***ing hate that.

 

[JianYang]

Pretty common play in hockey but that's some bad luck for Willy to lose his balance.

Younger players are always looking to try harder to impress in these games and Robertson made a play most probably wouldn't make in a pre-season game.

I wouldnt say it's common, but you are more likely to see it when the stakes are high.

I have never seen that play in a zero stakes game, especially on a guy like Nylander who has nothing to prove in a preseason game against essentially an ahl opponent.

Yes that is definitely what karma means and how it works.

Anywho, yeah in my book it serves him right. Diving will ruin hockey like it ruined soccer. And for those saying but soccer's the biggest sport in the world, it succeeds in spite of the diving.

You really felt the need to post this?

gets some help.

 

[Kranix]

Lots of conspiracy theory in here. Standard backchecking hockey play, but Nylander wasn't ready for it.

You just can’t make this stuff up, kid tried a play that happens from time to time, nylander either dives or catches an edge and falls and gets hit in the head.

Leafs media going ape shit on the play.

And it’s only pre season.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Didn’t he turn out to be fine ?

 

[Heffyhoof]

the amount of people laughing at someone getting hit in the head and even saying he deserves a concussion in this thread is disgusting.

Yep. It's also compounded because it's a Leafs player. Some of the grown men posting in this thread need to check themselves.

Wow, what amazing human beings! Everyone on this forum will stop and admire you both for your strong moral convictions

thanks for highlighting me.

It's amazing that my post angered you so much that you needed to reply to it. perhaps you feel ashamed?

 

[SensontheRush]

Nylander's center of gravity was pretty much in his upper chest area he was so hunched over. Bad time to attempt that.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

That's what Nylander gets for trying to buy a call. Clearly he thought it was an opponent doing that because no way in hell should that cause an NHL'er to fall forward so dramatically

Absolutely this.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

This is 100 percent a case of diving going wrong.

It's hard to believe that Nylander's balance is so bad that a little nudge from behind would propel him so dramatically.
I just watched Lekkerimaki do that to Pettersson in their last game with no incident and Pettersson has bambi legs

Leafs media or this site? Dont see this being talked about anywhere lmao.

"Concussed' player is on the ice this morning at camp.

 

[Choralone]

I mean, he could have gone with a can-opener...

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

It looked like a fluke accident to me. Players do that all the time. Unfortunately this time for the Leafs it had a negative outcome.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

"Concussed' player is on the ice this morning at camp.

Oh no!!! What about all the karma calls and conspiracy theories?

What a joke the title and entire thread turned out to be. Status quo for anything Leafs related though I suppose.

yeah it's really hard to believe that different events had different outcomes. Certainly impossible that whatever balance Nylander had while taking an unexpected push from behind caused him to fall, the only possible answer is he was desperately trying to dive for a PP in a meaningless game. The board really has it solved.

 

[MXD]

"Concussed' player is on the ice this morning at camp.

Good. Precautionnary measures were apparently indeed, well, precautionnary.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Time to update the title then which is misleading on multiple fronts.

 

[OKR]

It’s pretty odd that Nylander went down that easily tbh, much worse skaters have managed to stay up in the exact same circumstances.

I’m not gonna say he dove, as it’s impossible to say for certain and feels like illogical time to be taking a dive, but it sure does look like one.

And he's totally fine and at practice this morning. You're right, can't make up the fact that people like you are still here blowing it up and over exaggerating the whole thing.

How is this thread even open still? Now it's just a thread about a player falling down after a play that happens pretty regularly.
