When you don't address it at all, and leave this silly cone of silence up where you don't explain anything about what's going on, then you leave yourself open for rampant speculation - while most of it is pretty stupid, the organization has invited this onto themselves by simply not labelling Willy as "day to day" right off the hop, or by Sheldon just simply stating "he's not going tonight".
The fact that they've left everyone in limbo with this will he or won't he, or "he's a possibility", has just been the wrong way to handle it imo.
Thought it was interesting that the Canucks pulled no punches yesterday in immediately ruling Demko out and labelling him day-to-day, and then like 8 hours later, upgrading that to week-to-week. I'm not convinced any actual benefit comes from this sleight of hand / fog of war lineup crap that both sides are playing atm.

I talked to him this morning while he was walking his dog. We didn't talk about the Leafs surprisingly - we talked about his dogs.
He seemed okay while he was out.

WTF is going on? Lol.
While I undertand why the Leafs are keeping it quiet, this is rather frustrating

It sounded like a game time decision earlier, why would TSN say he's out?
What's the benefit of putting a label on it? The only thing coaches care about in playoffs is winning, not what basement dwellers on HFB think.
All that matters is he isn't playing and that it seems he'll be back, not the reason why.
No actually, u didnt talk or see Nylander this morning. Failed attempt at trying to impress someone.

Eliminates distractions, and the series of questions that you end up getting - today will be the 10th media avail where Willy has been the central focus of a number of questions.
I also think it's super interesting that the only tidbit that we've gotten about the Nylander injury, was that he wasn't hurt heading into game 82 vs Tampa - that specifically being the only tidbit of information available publicly, is due exclusively to the organization leaking it. They want people to know that, but nothing else. It's so unnecessary.
okay... lol. Are you impressed?

What did they say?
As far as I've seen, there's been no new information since this morning and there won't be until we get to warmups
I was just reading the internet and apparently he may or may not play tonight. Seems like we will find out once Keefe submits the line up card.

A quick update for Leaf fans as I have an insider in the organization, I was told the following but keep this among us please:
"there is a chance Nylander will play and also a chance he may not play".
As you were.

Was it a big dog? Did he try to chase a squirrel across the road? We don't need Nylander pulling a back muscle again.

Hopefully only if he's at a level where he can be an asset. Dressing for the sake of quieting conspiracy theorists would be a mistake.
