Yep

Great call!

Big dick Willy does it again! Always the guy from this core who loves to step up to the challenge. Glad we have him another 8 years

"This isn't f!@#ing junior hockey"

What a hypocrite if this isn't juniors I wonder why did he make swayman look like a junior hockey goalie on the 2nd goal?

 

[arso40]

7 goals in elimation games what a beauty

 

[notDatsyuk]

Pay attention to tonight's game. Gregoior or bust..

I did - Gregor is nothing comparable to Nylander.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Thank you Wily .. you are showing everyone what a good pro does .. dont bit@h just produce on demand when it counts

It's easy to see Nylanders incredible skill, flawless stride, head up all the time and even though he's not physical, he's incredibly strong on the puck and protects it maybe better than anyone with his body. That 1st goal was a prime example of his ability to protect the puck... he literally runs into a defender with his shoulder, stops momentarily, and then starts skating again before shooting the puck with his head up.

 

[ULF_55]

He’s gotta consider low blocker side as an alternative.

Maybe 5 hole?

Looking good in Game 6.

Not the own reference lol

Nylander's puck protection is tops on the team. Marner would have been bumped off the puck on contact, Nylander just rolled off the check. Another part of Nylander's game and even in post game playoff scrums, he is calm and doesnt feel the moment is too big. This can calm his team down when they look at him always unphased, very confident with the puck.

Reminds me of prime Sundin. Nobody could take the puck from Mats once he turned his back.

Never thought I'd say it (I was never a Willy hater). But, put the C on 88.

 

[ULF_55]

I believe he has another step he can take.

It's up to him whether he wants to take it or not.

How outrageous that would have been last year.

Agree atleast In the rotation with an a

Only on special occasions.

Maybe 5 hole?

That works too.

[Dayjobdave]

Just home from the game. Willie’s skating on the first goal was ridiculous. What a gamer!

 

[Martin Skoula]

Agree atleast In the rotation with an a

Matthews Rielly Nylander seems obvious

 

[arso40]

Matthews Rielly Nylander seems obvious

I mean if matty gets the c rielly gets an a and marner if he's still here is in rotation with Willy for the other a

We're only just warming up. Pay attention.

 

[Antropovsky]

....this viral video captures Marner and Nylanders personalities under pressure, one is calm and collected the other about to have a nervous breakdown.

Willie now 0.8 PPG in games 5-7 while 0.79 in games 1-4. Not sure how he does it, but he gets it done.
