If he isn't back Saturday we'll learn eventually that he, as a lizard man, dealing with the loss of his tail in game 82 that obliterated his balance, had the veterinarian team advised against going.If Nylander isn't back on Saturday I think that will be time for a real WTF.
I take it back - THIS is the dumbest comment.That's exactly my point. It's unusual.
This is what we know:
Nylander is healthy enough to skate for a week. Nylander doesn't want to play.
So let's take Keefe's words at face value:
Three games in a row Nylander is a possibility depending on how he feels. Nylander would not be a possibility if the medical staff would not clear him.
I am taking it at face value and assuming the decision is up to Nylander, as Keefe has been suggesting for 3 games in a row.
Far as I know only football has non-guaranteed contracts, and the NFL is the most socialist sport league there is.In non-socialist sports leagues where big market teams are allowed to thrive instead of being forced to support the minnows this is possible. You should be able to tear up an athlete's contract for underperforming or if they are made of glass.
When Keefe said 'we'll see how he feels' I'm pretty sure he means physically, not mentally or emotionally lol. Sounds like you're just misinterpreting him.
But hey, if it comes out that Nylander is dealing with mental health challenges then you'd be right but still came across like an asshole.
In some ways it was both easier and more depressing to watch the team back then because your expectations were in the toilet. But the assortment of players that got trotted out game after game was just dreadful.In the good old days we all hated JFJ.
Yeah, because Treliving had his fingers crossed when they gave Willie the full no movement clause in his contract.For years fans have questioned Nylander's character and commitment to play the "right" way.
For good reason too. Nylander's refusal to engage physically in every way possible is frustrating to watch. This is on top of holding out for as much money as possible.
Only to not play at the most important time of the year.
If the desire is to not win a cup he's the perfect player. It's embarassing for fans this jock sniffer's on the team. Even sadder considering it's not his own he's nosing.
His is still fresh in the package.
Those videos of him practicing certainly aren't doing him any favours. I know I've never seen anything like this before. I really hope I never see anything like it again.
Trading Nylander in the offseason would be a good way of ensuring that.
Think you got that wrong. The NFL is the most capitalist sport around, because of the owners' ability to screw the players with non-guaranteed contracts.Far as I know only football has non-guaranteed contracts, and the NFL is the most socialist sport league there is.
Excellent post. Couldn't agree more. I would add that it's not limited to sports. The "legitimate" news media is just as bad.Just the fact that no one in the media has reported what the deal is with Nylander's injury should highlight the crisis in the hockey media today.
Miss the days when the media's job was to find out the truth and report it to the world. Don't for a second think that most in the media knows what is going on, but they are servants to whatever the team and players want so they don't do their job.
They media don't serve a purpose anymore. I don't see why they continue to get free access to games. Well, I do, they just echo the PR Department

Fixed it.Support the minnows makes money for the owners.
More nationwide eyeballs, more ad money.
Themainonly purpose for the NHL is to make money for owners.
Fixed it.
Fixed it.
Difference being that you can give the benefit of the doubt to certain players, Nylander tried to big man the team into giving him more money, he doesn't show up in the playoffs and now he's not playing after playing 82 games and skating....after getting the biggest contract of his life.We do see it all the time.
Guys start skating well before they return to play.
Then they start joining practice. Then they return to game action.
It happens with almost every single injury.
The only difference here is we have no idea what the hell the injury is, and they gave no timetable.
Weird to say he doesn't show up in the playoffs.Difference being that you can give the benefit of the doubt to certain players, Nylander tried to big man the team into giving him more money, he doesn't show up in the playoffs and now he's not playing after playing 82 games and skating....after getting the biggest contract of his life.
For real. The speculation and the unfounded opinions people have formed are disgusting and toxic. Find another way to deal with your playoff frustrations.What the f*** is with you people. Nylander has done nothing to lose the benefit of the doubt. If he’s not playing due to a medical issue, then he’s clearly unwell.
