Nick Robertson pushes and injures teammate W. Nylander

[Breakers]

Concussion been confirmed?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hoping that Nylander was just out for precautionary reasons and he won't miss time from this. Not sure if he dove or lost his balance and ate it? Regardless the outcome would've been the same.

 

[Leaf Fans]

All from that play?

Gonna get costly if he makes the team, one goal per injured top6 guy

No one was injured.

 

[izzy]

Was that push really necessary in preseason? And also Willy went down pretty easy too. Just stay on your feet my guy.

Eh makes more sense in preseason than regular season, it’s a lazy catchup play

we run it sometimes in beer league/pickup and nobody at that level is falling on their face

idk what is going on with nylander here but this looks divey thinking it was the other team doing it.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

What a bizzarre play, lol.

 

[viceroy]

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

*World's smallest violin and so forth"

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.

 

[Strangle]

Robertson, you’re cut

 

[ACC1224]

Misleading title. I don’t believe it was ever said he is ‘concussed’.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

honestly, how did Nylander fall there? he didnt even try to stay on his feet. like wtf is that

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I think Ronnie James Dio wrote a song about this..

 

[crashthenet]

Odd timing but not sure why so many seem to have not seen this before.

 

[JPT]

I don't think he dove, but even if he did that doesn't mean he deserves a concussion. Jfc some of the opinions in here are disgusting.

There are probably only 3 people on this site who will get this but "I poked him in the butt and rocked his brain" by Zack Bryan

 

[Reality Czech]

Clearly Robertson is bitter about the contract offers.

I think Ronnie James Dio wrote a song about this..

What about this one?

 

[johan f]

Very essy to tip over if unexpected push. Depends much where the weight is.

I think he was slowing up so the added push threw him off balance

 

[Fatass]

Misleading title. I don’t believe it was ever said he is ‘concussed’.

Nylander has a history of concussions and migraines. He clearly had his bell rung. The Leafs should sit him out until he’s 100%.

With that stick in Willie’s buttocks, Robertson might even get a meeting with…

I cannot wait to see what South Park does with the whole Diddy thing, be hilarious if the panda gets caught at 1 of his freak offs lol

 

[waffledave]

Diving for... what?

That's not hooking, it's not high sticking, it really resembles no penalty at all except spearing and Nylander was conclusively not speared directly in the butthole (a fact I think he would be keenly aware of in the moment) nor did he act as though he was speared in any way at all.

What's he diving for? What's the actual penalty and why do you think he thought he'd be awarded one?

And this is just occurring to me but above all else: why do we think a guy with a guaranteed roster spot is diving in the preseason instead of tripping and falling to the ground? It is quite clearly a more vulnerable position to be in, in a game nobody needs to win, so why is this what we're running with?

Interference? Cross checking? You can't just knock over a player who doesn't have the puck.

Even better, here’s the video:

Who reported Nylander has a concussion?

Who reported Nylander has a concussion?

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

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