The title of this post is misleading because he clearly prefaces his question with “aside from tonight.” Still a dumb question though.

LMAO at his response.

*Laughs earnestly...*

"We wanna win!"

He’s not asking a real question, he’s fishing for a reaction or negative comment he can flip into a sound bite or click-bait headline.

I’m not defending the question, but when the public repeatedly demonstrates their willingness to click the clickbait headlines, this is what happens.

Clown question bro

This is one of those where I wish players felt more empowered to just go "what the f*** are you talking about?" and have that be the answer.

That's what Willy was basically saying with that laugh. He's just too nice to do something like that.

I know but I really want them to get the hammer out.

Maybe once would be sensational but after the 10th time they'd only have enough material to write "Star player called me a f***ing idiot again, he's so unprofessional"

 

[Dirty Dan]

Well Leafs won't be facing that team anyway, so not really a big deal to ask.

I'm sure alot of people want Willy to get the hammer out.

The guy to ask that question to would be Marner.

Kyle Dubas negotiating skills got Marner 10+ mill more than market value on his contract, AND the leverage to get even more on his next deal too.

Nylander is rooting for the GM that got him and his friends a blank cheque along with a Bic retractable ball pen.

Why on the mains?

I know there’s an ignore thread option but do you think anyone outside Toronto cares about this? I’m sure most people actually in Toronto could care less about this.

Phil Kessel's exchange with Feschuk was essentially this and I loved every second of Phil calling him an idiot

Torts does that and mostly gets ripped for it.
I did like Phil Kessels response to Feschuk "the idiot"

 

[dangomon]

I don't believe there is anyone better suited to handle the stupidity of Toronto media than William Andrew Michael Junior Nylander Altelius.

 

[ACC1224]

Who was the reporter?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Am I crazy or was this overblown? The reporter asked if he's rooting for his old GM to make the playoffs basically. He even said outside that game. They're not competing for a playoff spot. Why is that such a crazy question?

 

[chethejet]

It is a stupid question. Dubas was let go and now has a 7 year deal with the pens. That is his focus but no question any player coach or GM enjoys beating the team that let you go,

How does Marners contract and you taking a shot at it have anything to do with this thread and Willy Nylander?
