Player Discussion William Nylander

[JT AM da real deal]

Common Willy take this freakin series over baby .. make da Bruins ur b*tch .. Holmberg Willy and Jankrok .. its Willy time baby .. cut da throat early .. speed speed and more speed .. Willy likes it fast and hard baby .. finally we will have 2 lines which are a threat .. Keefer here is how you do it .. Matty Bert Domi then Holmberg Willy Jankrok and rinse and repeat early .. throw an early shift to 4th line too to keep Reavo hungry .. keep JTs line playing to a basic minimum .. Mitch can enter game via PK and PP

It's typical ignorance that people are "grab a Tylenol and get out there bud".

Never change sad nation.

Back in the early 90s coach would crack smelling salts if we were "woozy" or knocked out from hit.. we gotta get you on the PP!

Insane when you think about it.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Yeah the one that happened in the 2nd period, at 15:34:23 (I included milliseconds), in the year 2024 (year or our lord).

What kind of question is that?

i wanted to know when you thought he got concussed.

Does it matter if he got a concussion in game 60 or is game 67 specific enough for your singular interest?

WTF are you talking about?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Brodie in?

Series over in 5. Keefe must be trying to get himself fired for the severance benefits.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

With his diagnosis having been released, I think he'll play tonight.

I don't think they would have released his medical issue if he wasn't almost ready to come back.

Just a guess.

Another key question is ... why are migraines so common ? It can't be "normal".

That's the attitude we want, not getting the least bit phased by the media

Looks like willy is in.

Assuming Lily (Who's been dog shit) is gonna sit. Lily getting absolutely dummied, physically and skill wise. He was my biggest worry before the series started and they are indeed abusing him. Good passer but he's not physical enough and is crumbling when they forecheck. Brodie, although he's been ass, is experienced and can move the puck as well.

 

[Subway Schenn]

Yesssss he's back. Unrealistic expectations or not I hope he dominates.

 

[ToneDog]

Expect the Bruins to take a few good/healthy/cheap runs at him.

Experience means f all if you suck as bad as Brodie.

I think Lily has been worse these playoffs than Brodie was in the regular season, I prefer the vet.

 

[MK78]

Dude could have post concussion syndrome or god forbid a F'ing brain tumor and degen keyboard warriors here are questioning his heart.

My dad concealed migraines and he was popping tylenols like candy for 2 years before he was diagnosed with a brian tumor, he was pushing daisies 6 months later. they did surgery but they couldnt get all of it because it was too big. had he got diagnosed even 6 months before, docs said he might have survived.

God hope its nothing like that for Willie i hope they already did a CT scan on him.

 

[JohnnyBerts]

I know a few people with migraines. It’s debilitating.

It’s also different nowadays in terms of brain attention. When you’re suffering with migraines, everything hurts more, you’re more susceptible to injury and if you do suffer a head injury, it can be amplified. Some players attempt to play through it depending on the severity. But someone at Nylander’s age about to earn 92M, it’s not wise to play. I’ll bet he’s not 100% either but well enough to play.

 

[mapleleaf979]

Willy was asked " what adjustments do u have to make after missing time etc" Willy responds very quickly almost interrupting the reporter and says " Nothing". I like that high confidence from Willy, he will be a beast tomorrow.

Rielly/Boosh & McCabe/Benny have both been putting up very strong underlying numbers through the first 3 games of the series, whereas Edmundson/Liljegren have been getting crushed.

It makes perfect sense to try something different on that 3rd pair - especially given how poor both of them were on the winning goal.

Can't be worse than Liljegren at this point, he's garbage and provides nothing.

 

[m1ker]

My agenda is for the guy with the most expensive contract in Leafs history to show up when the games matter after playing every single regular season game.

And yes, just like Lybushkin skipping practice to see his newborn—completely inexcusable, right?

 

[AustonMarner]

Joel Embiid was recently diagnosed with bells palsy and in article below he describes feeling migranes, blurred vision and just not feeling right

76ers All-Star Joel Embiid says he's suffering from Bell's palsy

After days of speculation around the health of Joel Embiid, some clarity was provided following the Philadelphia 76ers Game 3 win over the New York Knicks on Thursday.

Seems kinda similar to Nylander's alleged symptoms so I figured I'd share article here...

How TF would I know when he got concussed?

Keefe is already fired

I've never had a migraine in my life

 

[authentic]

So it is confirmed it's actually migraines? He wouldn't speak about it in the interview I saw

Sorry to hear that man.

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

I guess we can conclude at this point that it's not another case of "back cancer" he should be playing through like a tough guy.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

It's a personal matter, how dare the media ask a pertinent question. The gall, the nerve!!!!!!

Brodie is rested.
Still has some skill and ability, just not a full time player.
