Do players not play through injuries anymore (Nylander)?

[BB79]

The ultimate hardcore play. Campbell breaks his leg blocking a shot and keeps playing

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

He was ready to play and cleared by the doctors. Keefe had him pencilled in. But he's so soft and would rather take the easy, lazy way out and just watch. I'm almost 100% sure it's because he's a Euro and a new breed of wusses... is that it?

 

[Ducer]

It's not Euro it's "Albertan" to be correct.

Hey Mr Cherry, is that you? Know any good poppy shops, eh?




(Yes I know your post was pure sarcasm)

Stone is incredibly team oriented. Each year he plays through injuries, takes one for the team, despite the risks involved

Mark Stone happens to be injured right before the TDL and then good to go for game 1 when the cap doesn't matter. Team first guy 100%.

I guess we should have drafted Nick Ritchie then. Good Canadian boy! Unlike Willy from Calgary

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Yes Nylander is soft, like really soft!

People need to remember that this is William Nylander:

Does that seem like a guy that shows up for the playoffs?!

Now back in the days the Leafs had Swedes like this that the rest of us Swedes could be proud of: View attachment 859339

Did Ed edited this picture too?

Reason for William Nylander's playoff absence hard to pin down

Elliotte Friedman reports on the ailment that has kept Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander out of the lineup for the first three playoff games.

www.sportsnet.ca

Oh look at that.

Nylander has talked about getting migraines in the past, its why he always wears a tinted visor now.

Migraines are zero fun. Especially when you don’t know why you have them or where they’re coming from.

Didn’t know he had them in the past and that’s why he wears a tinted visor.

A lot of the hot early takes look pretty bad now.

Exactly. Willy is basically a soft Euro, even if he’s from Calgary. Nick Ritchie would go through a wall to win… well, if he could skate fast enough to break it.

I’m assuming this is likely a troll thread as there’s literally dozens of players that are battling injuries in the playoffs every season. If the reports on Nylander are close to true, I hope that he doesn’t get rushed into a dangerous situation that could cause him lifelong harm. If he’s cleared, I hope it’s for the right reasons.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

You don't think Nylander wouldn't be playing if he could? He doesnt miss games. Lots a of bad takes from people who probably don't even know what a migraine is.

 

[All Mod Cons]

If we just wait a week or so we can laugh all we want at the Leafs. This is a tasteless thread to troll the Leafs.

 

[HabzSauce]

Landeskog played through an injury and now his career might be over. Worth a cup? I guess that depends on long term quality of life.

I'm sure it was worth the cup - no regrets from Landy if I had to guess.

 

[Team_Spirit]

They do and the most recent hero is Tkachuk

 

[Profet]

I'd say just look at Ryan Lindgren if you want to see an example of players playing through injuries.

... But ...

Cyborgs get damaged, not injured.

 

[Three On Zero]

This seems a bit dramatic

 

[Tob]

the ol' reverse Mark Stone, you dont see it very often

They're LTIRing him during the playoffs so they can miraculously insert him onto the golf course for game 1 of golf season. They need to close this loophole

At least he secured a small bag of money a few months ago.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Remember when Peter chicken Forsberg sat out two playoff rounds after his spleen got a little bump. Cowardly behaviour.

Meanwhile Stone was back for game 1 of the playoffs. Players today are real men.

Back then that was code for "he basically needed to grow a new spleen."

Today it's code for "he was rested for the playoffs while we circumvented the cap."

lmao. i honestly feel bad for willy, he had a pretty dang good season. maybe its playoffs PTSD...they are playing the bruins ya know

Hopefully this has already been said here or in other threads already, but just my two cents: migraines are the worst thing on earth. You can't understand if you've never had them. It's too bad they've been conflated with generic "headache" or whatnot, they are, no matter who you are, EXTREMELY debilitating, and monstrously awful. I wish Nylander the best, and hopefully the Leafs fanbase doesn't eat him alive.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

I heard he retired

Yep. It’s awful that they get compared to every day run of the mill headaches.

 

[1specter]

Nylander loves to play hockey and he's not one to sit out games, so it must be pretty serious if he can't suit up.

 

[frederixx]

I heard that unlike the Knights, Leafs players skip the playoffs to focus and be in top shape for regular season. Someday they will win the president trophy
