Player Discussion William Nylander

[ToneDog]

I second that motion. Although it probably helps us get to Game 7 if he scores 3

That would be something since we can barely score 3 as a team. Add that with Matty out, Willie will be the one the Bruins will try to take away. That pretty much will neuter the Leafs.

Yes it's self evident a win is all we want, also the probability increases if your 40 goal man actually scores.

He had a decent game 4.

He isn't getting the bounces, another post behind the goalie and out.

Great setup to a player in front and the guy just shanks it, probably had half the net open.

But yes, he's on a downer at the wrong time of year.

And Matthews turns into gilda radner it's always something youtube - Google Suche

 

[BertCorbeau]

TBH his linemates haven’t helped a ton either.

Jarnkrok is a playoff ghost when it comes to offense

 

[TorMapleJays]

This thread bump scared me.

Also the longer our top guys go without scoring the longer the law of averages have to come into play… right????

 

[ACC1224]

I think he sets up or pots a couple tonight.
Game 4 and the first period of Game 5 he looked a bit off but the last two periods he looked like he was starting to feel it.

It's as if the Leafs have had 1 of Matthews/Nylander for these 5 games. Matthews in game 2.

This is when the Capspace issue comes to bear.

They need their top players playing, and healthy.

True. Nylander has a history of producing no matter who he plays with but still, it would help to have some help. On one hand I'm really hoping for Nylander to have a big game tonight but on the other hand, if he's playing with Jarnkrok and Holmberg, it's gonna be tough.

 

[Stephen]

Willie needs to outplay Pasta over the next two games and rewrite some historical narratives.

 

[leafsfan5]

With Matthews out, Willy is our best forward

Need him to lead the charge here

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Willy very badly wants to score top shelf short side. He has the ability to hit that area but it's a low % play. He's probably practicing it right now

Need a big game from Willy tonight.

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

He's practicing his shot a lot right now because after passing to 3 guys in prime scoring areas without a shot on net to show for it in gm5, he's just going to say "bleep it, I'll do it myself."

Yea but from the right side he misses that wide more often than not and the puck goes off the boards and the play heads the other way.

From the left side......for sure

For sure. Handedness plays into shot placement.

 

[Notsince67]

Boston has been good at jamming up his zone entries. That said, Knies is playing with confidence and JT is hard on the puck. Avoid getting stripped of the puck and that line will make a big difference.

 

[A1LeafNation]

We are paying 11.5m to Nylander to chase 100 points and no show/injury in the playoffs.

There are going to be some hard questions asked and some job accountability for this f*** up, in the offseason.

 

[thewave]

Jokes over Willy. You better put up your beat performance tonight or else that TTC ride is going to have a lot of rolling eyes looking at you.

Do it for the rocket man. And AM too.

We're paying him $6.9, I suspect he didn't get injured in purpose, and he's been one of our better players in the two games since coming back.

 

[saffronleaf]

six games into the series, now would be a good time to finally contribute to the team. better late than never. lets go

He prolly gave AM ebola from riding the current state of the subway.

Except, Leafs aren't paying him 11.5.

 

[Twowingcantfly]

Gregor isn't as fast, can't skate as well, can't handle the puck as well, doesn't shoot as well or pass as well, but they do play a similar game - hockey.

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

 

[BraveCanadian]

Im not a leafs fan but i did catch some of the 3rd and OT and something that caught my eye is that Nylander was just coasting and barely moving at all. Especially in the D zone. Is this how he plays regularly?

Yes

 

[likecheese]

Let Willy take the puck up ice ffs.
