Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People hating elite top players on their own team are dumb, who cares what they think.

gotta love it, my janitor at work is relentless in attacking Willy, "hes been the only one scoring lately but I still think we should move him, just too soft, exactly what we dont need more of!"

This post used to be so true. Now it feels like he's the only one of the big 4 that can do no wrong, and nobody has any problem with, no matter what.
Not 100% sure though, I've blocked so many people because of their trash Willy opinions.
probably subconsciously has a part in it, labeling him soft and perimeter despite driving a lot of the offense
Willie is born in Calgary. He is Canadian

When you show up for 90% of the games and finish your chances, you earn a bit of leeway in my opinionThis post used to be so true. Now it feels like he's the only one of the big 4 that can do no wrong, and nobody has any problem with, no matter what.

he’s been our best forward and probably second best player after Campbell

Nylander is the definition of assassin
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sneakier garbage goal scorer with an elite shot from everywhere

As salary inflation continues, this guy's contract is looking more and more like a steal. I love seeing someone rise to the challenge and silence their critics.

Well as of right now he has earned that slack in the rope. Unlike some other players

I've been very impressed with Nylander's shot. His shot is elite. He seems to be getting stronger as well. And his shot is getting even better.
I wanted to bridge all the RFAs. I think that strategy would have backfired for Nylander.

Right now he has the best shot on the Leafs. He's beating keepers clean with no screen.
We know Matthews should have the best shot, but at this point in the season that isn't the case.
Gotta give Willy some more love .. he has been our best all round player, with Soup, this year .. amazing skater, hard on puck, makes da plays, shoots rockets, and even plays some better defense now .. he is a kid who has truly developed .. he always had best all round skills of our top 4 although he and Matty are darn close

Ive never seen any play climb out of the Leaf fan doghouse quite like Willy has.
Still has a few detractors, but overall positive vibes from Leaf fans

Marner taught me the importance of being able to shoot.
Willy has an elite level shot.

Not the trickiest Leafs passer, but I think he's the best passer.
His passes arrive with authority from distance.
No one is perfect, but his board to board passes on the fly are picturesque.

If Nylander maintains/puts up 35 goal seasons for the next 2 seasons, hard to imagine him making 4 mil less than the others on his next contract.

He always had all da tools .. but past 2+ years he has decided to own games ... there are so many nights when he is OUR best player .. and everyone can see it in his play .. and it has nothing to do with his points although they are nice and needed .. he just takes games over .. controls da game .. maybe an indictment of JT, AM and MM but he has been flat out better than all of them .. between Willy and Soup one of them is our MVP so far this year .. JT and AM have maybe owned 1 game each .. I don' think MM has even been close in any game this year .. without Willy this is a BELOW 500 team .. that is da truth

I really want him to get some looks at C again while he's this hot. It's about time we started asking who we're putting on Nylander's line and not who's line we're putting Nylander on.

The clock is ticking.
Rielly makes more money next year.
Does Campbell test free agency? What’s the cost?
What do Matthews/Nylander make on their next deal? The Dubas inflation system is shaky.
If he's Canadian, then why does he play for team sweden during the the world championships?
Let's say you're a canadian man,and you meet a canadian girl,in Canada, and you two get married and move in together. In Canada.
Then you get a job in Saudi Arabia, and you take your wife with you, and you go there and work for a few years,and during that time there, you have a son.
After a few years working there,you move back to Canada.Would you call your son an Arab?
Anyway, great game by styles, he should use his slapper more often like against tampa.
