Who's been negative about Nylander?
He's playing better, people don't criticize now, that's not enough for you?
You just gush over this guy, jamming him down everyone's throats, you have from Day 1.
Gets a bit much.
I think smuddan got it pretty good.
Obviously much harder now to be negative because there's nothing to be negative about.
Hence the crickets as Glam eluded to.
But still plenty of backhanded compliments.
Ala he's playing great but it's all because of contract year.
Really?
My posts are actually not because I'm gushing over him.
It's just to point out how ludicrous all this hate of Nylander is.

Haters ... sorry ... strong dislikers ... only see what they want to see.
Sure, Nylander turned away from Bogosian.
So what? I see it. It was a nothing play.
He didn't have the right line. Bogo had him lined up.
To skate towards the puck he would have been skating into Bogo before he could get to the puck coming from the other way. He was smart enough to recognize it. If he was skating in the same line as Bogo with Bogo behind him that would have been a different play.

Exactly, which proves the criticism is fair,
He underperforms consistently he gets criticized, he plays well consistently he gets big praise.
You can't argue with that.
I wouldn't discount the contract year concern, that would be a concern for any player.

You obvioiusly missed the point.
My point was it was the right play.
Same way you missed the point when you thought I was criticizing Matthews

Nylander streak ends, 0 points.
His stock is dropping, he will have to ask for no more than 10.75M.
Looks like the beginning of a horrific slump, may have to take 4.5M

Canada
In that case we're serious Cup contenders.
Knowing the Leafs luck, they can construct the team the be playoff-heavy and hit until the other team crawls but they still won't win the cup. Burke built the Leafs on size and truculence and they failed.

glam, I was being facetious, in light of my last few exchanges.
I get it.
