William Nylander

[IronHookem]

Willy been stuck in the low 40s forever now.

Its been 6 games since he hit 40 (and he is already halfway to 50). He has scored more goals in the last 7 games than the entire first line combined (as has JT). Could he be doing more? Probably, but I think he wants to save himself for the playoffs rather than chasing a pipe dream in the rocket.

What is wrong with Nylander the last couple of games? He looks like he has the flu. In the third he was gassed after 10 seconds and barely got back to the bench.

Bumping this thread. I always get the sense that players don't want to f*** with Nylander even though he doesn't fight on the ice. He just has that energy about him. Was nice to see him mixing it up. I think Nylander is one of the straws that will have to stir the drink consistently for the Leafs to do it and I think he can do it.

He looks under the weather. I hope it's not a playoff migraine again.

‘We should have drafted Ritchie instead’ (Don Cherry)

Willie is one of the best players in the world and Ritchie isn’t even in the league anymore

lol, I still remember many years ago Craig Button said that Nylander would be good trade bait for a defenceman because there was a guy named Adam Brooks who was tearing up the WHL and will make Nylander expendable.

Just goes to show that sometimes these pundits are also pretty badly wrong, pretty often and why I think sometimes us fellow posters are way to hard on each other with what we deem to be "dumb analysis".

Craig Button is a bit of an inspiration to me, personally - he's proof that you can be absolutely rubbish at your job, but as long as you blabber on and sound semi-competent, you can keep that job forever.

You must love Kyle Dubas. He's managed to go further selling his bullshit. Maybe if Button stocked his wardrobe with more cardigans he'd have a job in the NHL.

Talking at length without actually saying anything?

It's a skill I'm desperate to master.

People only remember the ones they get wrong, no one remembers when they get it right.

I think part of it is volume - many said Nylander was the better choice and very few said otherwise, so the few who got it wrong are remembered.

Speaking of volume, the very loud, very vociferous Cherry is also easy to remember.

I remember when a mod on the main forums messaged me saying I was trolling for thinking Nylander will be better than Drouin. Guy told me to not get lost in hyperbole and try to be objective. Sucka
