Player Discussion William Nylander

[Craig Button]

Their names are sewn into his gloves lol.....

I too know Nylander’s mom. I just called her. She said he doesn’t even have any gloves

 

[Jojalu]

from the video out there - not sure how this guys isnt playing

Concussion protocol?

The more he skates and practices and the less he plays it seems that would be the only thing out of his control.

If they don't clear him there is nothing the Leafs can do

 

[mcleex]

Is he playing or not god damnit

 

[Jojalu]

Is he playing or not god damnit

My exact sentiments. Lol

 

[sxvnert]

Nope Hayes just mentioned it a minute ago.



Brutal. Hed better f***in play game #4.

 

[Kazparov]

There is no conspiracy, he’s hurt and the team isn’t saying what’s hurt

That’s kind of all there is here. I read read 3 pages of absolutely nothing looking for any reliabl-ish info and I have totally wasted my time

Hopefully the next poor fool who checks the last post reads this and doesn’t bother reading the other 350 posts

Thanks!

I’m wondering if he has a concussion.

you think he'd be wearing no-contact jersey tho

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I can’t believe he’s still out. This is the strangest injury ever.

 

[Peasy]

I could buy the concussion/migraines. Rantanen had a concussion near the end of the regular season and only missed like 2 games.

Hopefully hes back for game 4.

It is a total piss off. Doesn't do much to change the perception of him in the fan base, which I recognize is somewhat unfair. The team has done him no favours by keeping the story behind his injury a mystery.

That’s true

Yeah its ridiculous. guy doesn't miss a game since 2016, plays quite badly for the last few weeks like he's checked out, coach says "willie just wants to start the playoffs", then he doesnt play in 3 straight games...

Nothing makes sense.

If he's not ready to play today (Wednesday), he shouldn't have been skating on Sunday and Monday.

He definitely should not have been skating without a red jersey on.

Is it mandatory to wear the non contact jersey?

Or is that just for media during the regular season?

The practicing, then not playing is only making sense if he is not getting cleared?

No, it's not mandatory.

However, you use it to instantly alert the others on the ice not to touch that player.

You don't have Reaves crushing players in practice, but they also won't go well out of their way to avoid contact either.

I would assume they would all know and be careful around him, but I guess you can't take that chance

 

[Maple Leaf]

maybe he has performance anxiety you know what I mean

 

[themilosh]

if he was wearing a no-contact jersey, then that "sort of" tips the hat to concussion. My guess is the team has been advised not to run Willy in practice.

Seems they clearly don't want anyone knowing what is the issue.

He already plays non contact so a red jersey would be redundant I honestly can't think of an injury that would allow him to skate with contact but keep him out 3 playoff games. I guess we will have to wait for game 4 for an answer.

 

[sunstersun]

Willy's not even playing and his playoff reputation is going up.

That's how bad it is.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

he needs to be playing game 4

we have two top 6 wingers, and they make less combined than our highest paid winger who is playing like a 3rd liner

Not if he has a head injury. Life comes way before hockey.

Yep and he was shown playing with his dogs during some Leaf event. I was surprised he owns what look like poodles?
