Another indifferent game from him. Something isn’t right with him since the TDL. Hope he finds his game for the playoffs.
I'm not worried. He's been one of our best forwards this year. He will show up.
Might be because he lost his countrymen sandin and engvall at the TDL the antonym of kill instinct is a picture of Nylander

That’s possible but anyone cashing cheques the size of his needs to be more professional than that.

Great. Something wasn’t right with Matthews. Now Nylander. Add Tavares too. Can’t everyone just play to 80% of their potential at least?
This team.
This team.
I concur. I think stars today are too pampered. Oooo we have to be careful what we say in the media. stars today are wussies, atleast the ones playing with a leaf uniform

Our media doesn’t help that’s for sure. Seems like most act more like fans and the others are total idiots. Not much in the middle.

I heard that too and if true it’s troubling.
As far as I know Willy was born in Calgary and lived all over North America and summers in Sweden.
Frickin’ Gord Downie is a closer relative to him than Sandin and Engvall.
If he's the antonym.. Then what is Marner?
Nylander has 8 goals and 15 points in the last 14 playoff games (2 series)
Marner has 2 goals and 12 points in the last 14 playoff games (2 series)
Nylander didn't have Tavares vs Montreal either. While Marner has had Matthews throughout both series.
Marner is the Antonym of killer instinct.

I doubt trades had anything to do with it. He's been a pro hockey player for almost a decade, he knows friends on teams in will come and goes.
He's either sick, injured or probably just saving it until the playoffs. The Leafs don't even have to worry about home ice advantage, can be hard to get yourself worked up for.

Marner and Matthews also face a higher QoC.
Why do people think home ice advantage is so important. The leafs had home ice against Tampa last year, Montreal the year before and Columbus before that. Sill lost. Home ice doesn’t mean crap to these guys, losers lose

Despite playing only his second game on the wrong wing and having to put up with Tavares, he was still one of the better players.
Get him away from JT and he'll be fine.

I don't think it's all that important. but is the only even slightly relevant thing that was left to play for. Otherwise these last few games likely don't matter to the guys in the team at all other than to hope they don't get injured

I won't worry about him till game 1, he's earned the benefit of the doubt with his production
So does McDavid, Mackinnon, Kucherov... Etc take a look at their post season stats.

He will be fine, he's like a cheetah waiting for his prey. He's always been a hot hot or cold cold guy.
Welcome to the new version of his dad. You play fr money and privilege not to win.
Also Nylander is a career better goal scorer than Marner. Marner isn’t a pure goal scorer so obviously his goal scoring numbers will shrink in the playoffs when facing higher quality of competition.
Not too worried about Nylander, he’s been one of our best playoff performers.
The Nylander - Tavares - Marner experiment should be over though. I’d like to see Nylander move up to play with Matthews and Jarnkrok. You have 3 shooters you have to worry about on that line now.
Then you can form an elite offensive but also an elite defensive line as well with Marner and O’Reilly. A line that can go up against Tampa’s top line. You can choose to play JT on the LW or move him down to the third line.
