William Nylander

[thewave]

Results speak, bro. I am not hating on Willie bc he actually showed up unlike the others 10mil plus boys but he needs to be better.
And as a 11.5mil, you should play to a high standard regardless of whom you are playing with.

It's a team sport. AM and WN should have been paired while Mitch and Willy were struggling. That was on Berube.

Still need to preform. But anyhow, Willie is not a huge problem this playoffs. There are quite a few problems before piling it on Willie.

He didn’t show up to the series last game 3

True! Nylander should’ve been better, but the others really should get most of the criticisms. At least he scored some goals and got them to the second round. It’s too bad your other 100 point players couldn’t show up at all these playoffs

Who did, except you D?

Absolutely agree with you.

Willie is best of the Core 5 this playoffs, but I won’t say he was great or even good the past few games.

He was ghastly in games 6 and 7 I thought. Expecially defensively. If you are not going to defend and NOT score, that is a bigger problem than defending and not scoring.

What type of excuse is that

He was horrendous, why deflect that onto someone else or a group of people

Ok, so did you post this in every other players thread as well, or did you only call out the guy that should receive the least (he should ofc receive some) amount of that criticism, when looking at this playoffs as a whole?

 

[The Shadow]

Not a complete player

Goals 2 and 3 tonight could have been prevented if he had some defensive grit

Useless defensively unfortunately.

First of all, nylander fans need to get over the poster and focus on the post itself

I can no longer post in the Marner thread, I got a bit annoyed and went overboard after game 5. I still think Marner is a fraud too.

Matthews I’ve hated on the entire time, and I will continue hating on him

So again, please stop using deflection as the first coping mechanism

He deserves a lot of blame because he played 3 games this series

Marner and Matthews both played maybe 1

That doesn’t mean nylander wasn’t horrid, just meant the other two were even more horrendous.

Everyone is complete 100% shit. M&M have just a bit of taco bell sprinkled in

Tbh I give zero shits about defence for nylander.

He NEEDS to produce for that to work though. Superstars don’t have to be good defensively but they have to 100% need to be good offensively

He didn’t do that and so I also can’t look past his horrendous defensive play

He's 100 feet of desire. To be fair I thought he really picked up the defensive side regular season for long stretches, but this was classic lately. He isn't IT, great great great talent, unfazed by pressure, but the give a shit meter comes and goes, no champ has this flaw. Unless of course you're surrounded by hall of fame talent, like say a Phil.

There's a reason he doesn't have a letter, and every former player knows his defensive play is an issue.

I get that you’re frustrated, and I get that you want to blame everything and everyone, I just think that it’s a bit weird to call out the one player that actually performed better than the others, while also agreeing that he should be played better.

Nylander is weird. But so is Leafs Nation

Look at all this - what are you even talking about? Go get some rest

He played better sure

Just because he wasn’t a D- like Matthews and Marner, and was instead a D+. Big whoop

It’s not weird, it’s called recognizing even our “strongest” link is weak as shit

 

[KAWAIlllI]

No, the 6 goals does. Again, rest, you’ll feel better

 

[Skullz]

Priority should be on finding a Center with speed to play for him next year. This Tavares has gone on long enough.

Wasn’t good enough the last few games, but a solid postseason nonetheless.

He's the least bad. Sounds promising.

That’s true! I’d say his level was an A il game 4 of R2, then it went down and should be around C. B- even, considering that everyone was bad. But the fact he had more goals than M&M together…

 

[sunstersun]

I'm pretty hopeless on the Leafs, but I think he deserves at least one more season. Otherwise ship his ass out too.

We need to churn and burn. There is no more run it back again.

Awful from games 4-7.

 

[sunstersun]

Yeah I was gonna write up a list of excuses like Tavares or something, but nah.

Can you please finish a fcking breakaway holy crap??????????????

You gotta score or you're useless.
