Oh man !!! That new heading? Pardon the pun holy f&@-

Didn't play well at all against the Czechs today. The effort by the whole team was the worst I've seen in a while though. Ended up with a nice goal at the end but a poor game overall.

swedish u20 team is awful compared to recent years. Nylander and Kempe are the only good forwards.

I am happy Nylander choose to play U20 for sweden though.

How is willie looking as a centerman? I know he can play wing and center

 

[Face Of Bear]

I think that some people here need to calm their horses regarding Nylanders quick start. He's only played 8 games, only a fraction of a season. As of now this is nothing more then a "hot streak". If he's keeping the pace after 25+ games then maybe we can start to get really excited

It's hard to get up for pre-season games too, especially in the case of Nylander, probably knows he is the #1C for the team no matter what.

I want him to have a good work ethic but he's not a bubble guy in this scenario.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

He is leading the SHL in points per game played. 1.34 per I think it was. That's so cool. I hope they are enjoying that loan because we want it back 100 fold.

His test is next sept.

Ultimately who cares how he produces in Sweden this year? He could get 1 goal for the rest of the season, then come to camp in Sept improved in the areas he needed to improve in, in a more mature body, ready to compete.....I'll be happy.

I hate that nickname

He is named after a penis?

Interesting how that's the first thing to pop in your mind.

[LeafsNation149]

Anyone want to inform me how his stats look and how he's been playing so far?

[Coaches Coroner]

Willie the Pimp would be a better nickname, and comes with this Frank Zappa song as his theme/intro music when he hits the ice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr256gta2Qw

Because performance indicates development?

If he isn't producing the rest of the season, he'll get relegated to a much smaller role. If he's in a much smaller role, he's unlikely to develop as well. If he isn't developing as well, he'll most likely not look as good at the training camp.

Of course his performances are of interest.

 

[HoBOonFiRE]

Will smith is so original

Getting jiggy wit it was always gigueres song.
