Nick Robertson pushes and injures teammate W. Nylander

[Bear of Bad News]

No, he wasn't, he was taken out for precautionary reasons.

I wonder what they were "precautioning" about. Hmm.

I'm going to go with TSN's reporting over yours.

This isn't complicated - they said "precautionary", and for something to be precautionary there has to be something to be cautious about.

I'm gonna bow out of this conversation for precautionary reasons.

They were cautious about Robertson finishing the job

See, you should be running the Leafs' PR Twitter.

But go on champ, you're the victim here of... nobody calling you a f***ing moron. Who called you that again? I only see you referring to yourself with those words.

Are you implying that they were cautious that Robertson was planning on hurting him? Because other wise they were cautious of a injury…

this thread me of the current state of Canada's House of Commons! Let's all bicker about technicalities.

Is there a certain amount of time a player needs to be out before we can officially call it an injury? Can a person be injured for a few hours? Or a day? If I'm sore at night but fine the next morning, did I get injured? Who am I? Why am I here? How do I know if I'm doing the right thing? What determines 'right'? What makes something beautiful? How does one define love? Is it a feeling or an action? Both? How do I delineate types of love?

Sorry...fell into an existential rabbit hole.

Why does this have 13 pages.

 

[Peasy]

He. Was. Injured.

This isn't difficult, and I'm not going to argue with you about it.

You and that other guy can talk about what an idiot I am all you'd like. Just not here.

And once again, never called you an idiot/moron.

Was just laughing at the fact the title got changed and it was still misleading (after knowing he was fine and practicing).

If you wanna claim he was injured for those 2 hours when it happened then all the power to ya.

It's clear that Willy is now fully recovered from what was deemed a minor injury during the game yesterday. He probably could have played through the injury because it was minor but was kept out for precautionary reasons. Thread title is accurate

Not to mention someone thought it was necessary to create a thread.

 

[LuGBuG]

Well that was .. something.

A high risk - no reward play?

Typically not high risk. Have had it done to me a bunch of times over the years. Gives a good speed boost. Unfortunate ending though.

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

What a f***ing idiot.

Let’s relax

 

[SUX2BU]

Cancel the parade .......................

 

[benfranklin]

We don’t know that Nylander is concussed. A little misleading as apparently he is being held out as a precaution

Still a stupid f***ing play by Robertson

Thats a smart play that hockey players do al lover the world trying to help a teammate backcheck. Wtf was Nylander falling over for like an idiot.

Only in Lefs world would they blame Robertson.

 

[Breakers]

So the broader overhead shows this was completely unnecessary use of the “slingshot”

Like no sense at all.

 

[Siludin]

I immediately assumed that was the play

Yea, he would have probably returned if this was a regular season game or a playoff game. For a preseason game, there is 0 reason to have him come back. Leafs handled it perfectly.

 

[Siludin]

Robertson made a crucial mistake by forgetting to yell, "CMON BIG BOY BOOSTIES" before giving him a push.
How was Nylander supposed to know that there was going to be a BIG BOY BOOSTIES coming?
That's something you work on in practice.

 

[Rob Brown]

Why does this have 13 pages.

Because it's about the Leafs and also because a mod said it would be kept open out of spite (his/her words, not mine).

It was a pretty long thread before I weighed in, TYVM.

For sure, and it has run its course given that Nylander is fine and practiced today. Now it's just a thread about a player knocking over his teammate in a preseason game.

Well said.
