William Nylander appreciation thread

[Aashir]

No even close. Mathews and Marner far superior.

This series it’s Marner imo and it ain’t close

People complained about Willy over a nothing play in a game that was out of reach.

Yeah, I think he's fine.

 

[Wendelstache]

Stepped up in the most important game in the series - can't ask for more, this was the playoffs Nylander from last year. If he takes over game 6 like he did tonight, he's going on Legends Row.

And it was so well deserved, no matter what anybody tried to rationalize at the time. Revisionism.

He answered the bell, that’s what sport offers and I loved every single second of it. Bravo Willie!! We’re going nowhere without you bud.

great game. I really wish he worked on his routes though. Sometimes taking the b line is clearly advantageous for keeping the puck in the zone or controlling it in the d zone especially but he'll take a route garnered towards getting a stick lift. There's more to puck battles than stick lifts.

Played terrific tonight overall though and tbh he's been doing the right things for most of the series. Puck finally starting to go in for him. Let's hope he can have a big game on Wednesday and take this shit home.

He came up huge. Without him, we don't win game 5. Exceptional performance from Willy tonight.

BEAST! Willy does not get enough credit.

 

[saffronleaf]

Best game of the series for Nylander and arguably the best player on the ice tonight. Came up big when it mattered.

Need this same Nylander for games 6!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Now do that again in game 6 WIlly .. need your line to step up again.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Willy just kept coming all night. Great to see. Kept skating and made it happen out there.

 

[Stephen]

He played so guilty and so spectacular.

 

[stickty111]

Big game today. Seems to always respond to deserved criticism.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

We saw Playoff Willy near the end of game 4, and we saw him for all of game 5. That shot was just so so dirty. Him and JT really stepped up tonight.

 

[Dayjobdave]

That goal was so elegant. He is awesome when he’s on.

 

[1specter]

Hate on this man some more because it only makes him better.

 

[Morgs]

Surprised he wasn't braided with prosciutto in his hand. Love this f***ing guy.

 

[Havoc]

Sushi boy back to point per game

 

[DraftSchmaft]

I'm in the camp that Willie could be moved for some good assets in the offseason, which would allow us to keep Mik.

Welcome to your new camp. I heard your old one sucked

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Now do that again in game 6 WIlly .. need your line to step up again.

i always think dubas biggest mistake is that he said he'll never trade willy....but if he continues to do what he does in playoffs....I can see why.

Sushi boy back to point per game

what is this sushi boy reference too

Surprised he wasn't braided with prosciutto in his hand. Love this f***ing guy.

gotta give to the man he has a strong sense on fashion.

If I was coach Nylander would never see the ice again.Can you imagine if Brophy or Quinn was coaching and Nylander would not go in the corner because he was afraid to get hit.


Oh my god. What game were you watching ? That’s why the Leafs will never win a cup.

Shit take is even worse

 

[saffronleaf]

Looking at the replay more carefully, I think the JT goal actually went off of the TB dman's skate. It should be credited to Nylander.

I love these threads
