Player Discussion William Nylander

[Brew]

So four pages of guessing and griping, and no actual information?

Thanks.

No media reports about it other than he was on the ice and skating. Likely a joint or muscular issue. If it was a break or a concussion, he wouldn't be skating. My guess is hips / low back / groin injury (something soft tissue related).

Never an edit, an ounce of self-doubt, or a self-reflective moment.

Lol

He pulled something playing golf or doing something like that

Something summerish or clubbing

f***, game 3 is on Wednesday
Was hoping it would be Thurs giving him more time to rest up

He better be ready for game 3 we need him while Marner plays like shit

Don't fool yourselves. Those who in the media knows what Nylander's injury is and when it happened, etc. They don't report it bc they don't want to get on the bad side of the team. That's the same across the NHL. The Friedmans, Chris Johnston's ...they all know but they aren't real "reporters", that's why there's 5 pages and "no actual information". Just like how the hockey media never actually reported what Corey Perry did to get his contract terminated. The hockey world has no real serious reporters any more. They want to remain on the good side of the people in the game. So don't think this is exclusive to the Leafs.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

If he can draw in Wednesday hopefully then he'll have an extra day of rest going into Saturday.

It is true - and it's a reflection of the political world as well. and why the reporting and info is so ridiculous and nonsensical and full of fluff. It's a sad reflection of society's trends.

I myself DO know what happened with Perry's contract guillotine . . . but only because of a personal connection who's best buddies with someone who was there. Real reporting? No chance, they feel / know they'll be blackballed by vindictive corporate types (in that case owners/execs, same as in Toronto) so they learn fast to condition themselves to the parameters of questioning and keeping their jobs.

People have zero backbone and integrity anymore.

1) How did Egyptians build the pyramids?

2) What was before the big bang?

3) WTF is going on with William Nylander?

The gutless faker.

What even is this? I don't see someone hurt so bad they can't play. All I see is cowardice.

I really hope this guy is traded in the offseason.

Treliving came in here preaching accountability. When is it gonna start. All he's done since getting hired is give people raises.

Including this crybaby.

Shanahan clearly overlooked character when drafting these boys. Only in the NHL can someone get a job running a multi-billion dollar franchise with their sole credential being able to hit bits of rubber with a stick. Calling this team a clown show would be an insult to clowns.

A clown can get trampled over by a bull and still show up for work the next day.

If you have a shrine with pictures of Nylander with his eyes cut out and words as coward, clown, crybaby etc written over them. I would not be at least surprised.

U cant for real think he fake injury to not play Bruins. And O Dog just play stupid to get clicks. Even he know that skating and in game is totaly different things. I expect leaf thinking this will be a long run, if a game or two makes a top player 100% better rest of the playoff it might be worth it.

 

[Kazparov]

I'm going way out on a limb and take a guess that his injury is.....

Testicular torsion.

Woke up and one of his boys was the size of a grapefruit.

 

[authentic]

The Leafs will win this game without him.

Good call

 

[HamiltonNHL]

. I expect leaf thinking this will be a long run,

Literally no one thinks that.

We’ve won 1 of our last 9 games vs. Boston.

The gutless faker.

He’s not faking anything

Give your head a shake

 

[janesy12]

They had time off in Florida. They definitely went golfing, and a golf swing is an easy way to throw out a back if that's the issue.

If you hurt your back golfing it’s from early hip extension

[Kief Richards]

Maybe it is something like migranes, or groin. I don't think his character should be questioned. He will return when ready, and hopefully help with the quest!

They still need to have a strategy for a long run, or they should just try to tank every year. You dont try to reach the playoffs to just win one round or two. I hope...

[AllHeartNoSkill]

I can’t help but laugh at the suggestion Nylander is sitting out “faking it”. He’s already faced way tougher versions of Boston but NOW he’s scared? Also, he’s supposedly faking… but the team is allowing him to take warmups?

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Look, I'm not supposed to be talking about this but I know what's happening with Nylander. He's on a conditioning stint before they bring him back into the lineup.
