Player Discussion William Nylander

[ER89]

It would help if someone could please catch his passes.

Game 5 he set up 3 golden chances for his teammates to fail to receive a pass.

Very true lol.

I think a guy like Chandler Stephenson or Lindholm paired with willy would be stupid deadly

I think a guy like Cowan would be good too :O

You naughty naughty, you're tempting me

enjoy

You can see on the replay that Willy got in the way of the pass, leading to the turnover. Great read by Rielly, excellent pass by Knies, and what a finish.

 

[sunstersun]

What stands out as usual is the individual offence.

 

[CelticDruid]

His ability ro score in elimination games has been great.

Posted in another thread .

Willy fourth all time scoring in game seven elimination situations.

Willy with 7 with leader W. Clark with 10.

If he does that for the rest of his contract while putting up 90 in the regular season. The 11.5m won't seem so bad

If anyone is going to score the game winner Willy should be odds on favorite to do it.

Wow.. @ACC1224 your whipping boy is good. We need to talk about your favorite player though..

 

[arso40]

Great celly after the second goal! Homage to his buddy Matthews perhaps?

When was the last time we saw Willy show so much emotion after a goal?

Definitely with a little twist

Is it just me or did Willy look terrible out there until his first goal?

He legit looked like he was coasting and not giving an F at all

Nah it's just you

Never could read what it means for the negative side

 

[Kurtz]

This guy's vids are great. Especially the Rat marchand stuff.

The rat filter on the Marchand character is hilarious. And the tongue lol..

 

[Shooter2x]

IMO he's not suited for that role at all and he wouldn't want it, he'd rather just quietly go about his business.

Max Domi on the other hand, now he'd be perfect and he'd thrive in that role. JMHO.

Nylander has evolved into a vocal player on the ice. Consistently giving instructions before draws. He reminds me of Marchand in this regard with Marchand being more advanced obviously. However Marchand transitioned slowly into that and initially was equal to Nylander in organizing everyone (hence the comparison, maybe Nylander is in the baby stages of evolving into C similar to Marchands evolution)

One thing for sure. Of all the players on both teams in this series, Willie is the most talented, the best skater, and perhaps the most able to survive physicality which IMHO makes him the most likely to be able to totally dominate a game 7. He can put a team on his back and inspire his team mates to victory.

I would expect the Bruins to target Willie after he won game #6. Both teams can't score much at this point. Score first and stay out of the box unless you can find a way to score a PP goal or two.

Yeah, a block, Rielly picks it up slides it to Nylander who clears it to Knies, who gets it back to Nylander.

So:
Goal - Nylander
Assists: - Knies, Nylander and Rielly

;-)

marner on deck.

 

[sunstersun]

You expect him to get a goal and an assist this game. We need it.

I get what you're saying. It's an interesting thought, I still can't quite see it though and I still don't think Nylander wants the job. But I could be wrong and in any case, I guess it doesn't matter all that much who's captain. I mean I think most of us agree that JT wasn't an ideal choice but that didn't stop us from playing like champions the last two games.

Hopefully they can make it 3 rock solid performances in a row tonight. GLG!!

 

[sunstersun]

Very clutch and offensively dominant again.

Can we please get Willy a centre that isn't horrible? Forget Cowan destroying the OHL for another season bring him on and have him play 2C duties.

Can't be worse than Tavares.

 

[1specter]

The only one with a f***ing nut sack year after year

 

[CelticDruid]

William Nylander with 8 goals in elimination games just two behind Wendel Clark.

Alternate Captain next year.

To be fair it looked like both Nylander and Marner didn't see Pasta and was looking at Lindholm's direction with the puck and even if Nylander did see Pasta its doubtful that he would've been able to do anything when he was almost at a standstill while Pasta was speeding down the wing to the net. Even Rielly who was further back couldn't react because the play unfolded so fast.
