Player Discussion William Nylander

[Menzinger]

Obviously my opinion but pretty much universally accepted but you would certainly be welcomed into the minority though.

I think one can absolutely make the case for that to be but with that also comes the responsibility that those top two guys in particular will face the lions share of the blame if the team doesn't advance out of the first round yet again

Not being a smartass as I'm recovering from surgery and maybe it's going over my head, but what's the third column? Goals-Assists-??

Goals-Primary assists-Secondary assists. Hope you recover well.

I think the 3 core forwards in the line-up have looked so much better the past several games.

Supported by Knies and McMann, they've done well.

Looked like a much more cohesive team, all pulling together for the team.

It seems when the coach stops calling them a "Group" and they are expected to work hard every game...things like Team arise from the effort. These guys look like they are finally getting it...there is no easier path...it's just plain old hard work that wins cups.

Got it. Thanks and thanks.

I like Berube double shifting Nylander on the PP.

Now he needs to make it count

Defense creates offense... a great effort in the dzone, stripping the puck, leads to the goal. He's played a good overall game of late.

Won 6 of 9 face-offs yesterday.

Won 6 of 9 face-offs yesterday.

Over the last 4 games he's second on the team in faceoffs taken after JT, and his winning % of 56.1 is second to JT (well, third because his brother is 1 for 1).

With 14 goals 1/4 of the way through the season William is just 2 off the league lead. Maybe he can win a rocket this year.
