Tribute William Nylander Discussion Thread: Ya Gotta Be Blessed Edition

[socko]

Nylander was pretty good but those 3 delay of game penalties were killer. That's 6 minutes because people couldn't keep the puck in the rink and not a single 1 of them was necessary. The coaching staff needs to address it.

Overall, another good game for Nylander in the playoffs. Great snipe on the goal. Good steal and assist on Kerfoot's goal. Still hoping to see him be more engaged physically, but it is what it is.

2g, 1a in 2 games so far. Keep it going.

Not sure how they can address it. Neuticles are merely cosmetic.

William has a playoff mode. Great to see

 

[saffronleaf]

Another goal. Very strong play, basically was able to drive that second line. Of course that's not to take away from Kerfoot and Galch who had pretty good games especially Kerfoot. But that was a great game from Nylander.

I saw him taking hits to make plays at the end too... awesome.

 

[Mats13]

Great playoff performer

Been the best player this series so far

 

[Menzinger]

Get him on that 1st pp unit.

 

[Cecithepylon]

This guy wants to win. Actual sniper. Maybe he’ll be the best 88 in the playoffs

 

[HomerJLeafs]

give him more icetime you f***ers

 

[ashs]

Big Willie, played with heart.

Don’t break what’s not broken. I think the ice time is keeping him hungry as fuk. If we were chasing the lead today he would get more icy.

Was amazing to see him at the end draw in two Habs into a board battle and get roughed up to win the battle and set up a 2v1. That’s the sorta commitment we might not have seen two years ago. My friends Will Nye is the real deal and the man is here to play.

One of my top 4 Leafs so far, along with Matthews, Rielly and Campbell. He’s consistently dangerous with the puck, and making very few mistakes. Keep it up Willie!

 

[Le Cobra]

first Leaf since Alex Mogilny to score a goal in 3 consecutive PLAYOFF games.

 

[leafsfan5]

With the injury to Tavares we needed Willy to step up in a big way

He's done exactly that, what a dominant force through each of these games

 

[Duffman955]

probably our best player so far

 

[81Leafs50]

Nylander has officially passed Marner. Marner has been just plain bad. Nylsnder is a BEAST right now.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Nylander has raised his game.

 

[Jojalu]

first Leaf since Alex Mogilny to score a goal in 3 consecutive PLAYOFF games.

That's unbelievable Matthews hasn't done it yet.

SWEET SEXY WILLY

​

 

[Muston Atthews]

He’s playing hard. Beautiful to see. Owning board battles, commanding the puck, scoring goals and even throwing some hits

 

[bossram]

And people wanted to get rid of Wild Billy...

Already cashed my prop on him: Over 2 goals this series. Easy.

 

[Mitchy]

 

[ZEBROA]

He got plenty of time to be the scapegoat. All this praise makes me uncomfortable.

so keep calm and blame the scapegoat.

I hope he keeps this up. I dont think he will get on the scoreboard every game, but if he play like this thats fine.

 

[saffronleaf]

Big Willie, played with heart.

No more Big Willy, his game has grown, prefers you call him William

 

[Confucius]

probably our best player so far

JC SoupyStar? but Styles is close.
