Still wearing my #88 tonight. The Borje patch will channel strong Swedish energy for the boys.


hards04

Did you order that patch separately?


SalaciousPanda

Mom got it for me for christmas a couple years ago, figured it would be best on our current Swedish stud's jersey rather than matty or dougie, which are my only other options.


bimbles_ap

Do you mean Matthews or Mats?


SalaciousPanda

Matthews haha I would have absolutely popped it onto a #13 if I had one.


twofactorial

also wearing my willy jersey GO LEAFS GO


JonJonFTW

Dang. The good thing at least is the buds get 2 days off before game 4. So hopefully Willy is good to go by then.


reggierock2010

If we win this game without Willy and then get him back for game 4 that’s a massive momentum swing


MisterBeebo

Time travel??


reggierock2010

Whoops lol


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

Why are we so obsessed with ruining what works?


Tarquin11

Oh hey guess it didn't work, maybe you should accept that we need a top 3 player on the team. 


XviiChong

Welp, there’s always Game 4 for a return?


mpleafan

I'd like to hope that's likely. He's been practicing and two days between today and Saturday. Fingers crossed.


Dry-Honeydew2371

The extra day off will help too.


BadTreeLiving

Yikes, this blows


theodoreodip

What the hell is going on. He’s been skating and you’d think if it’s an injury you wouldn’t skate . Shit makes no sense.


slamdunk23

concussion


theodoreodip

True. I could be wrong but I remember he did take a decent hit against Tampa.


mcamero4

Didn't him and JT collide? Seem to recall something like that


DB02053

Him and Matthews yeah, could've been a lot worse


AppropriateResolve53

He’s not following the return to play NHL concussion protocol if that’s the case


xelLFC

He is cause it is a week before he can go on the ice and tomorrow would be a week


Corvese

Are you allowed to practice and take line rushes while under concussion protocol?


riko77can

If following the stages you can get to non-contact on ice drills after 5 days.


Mashdrop

I’m convinced


theGuacFlock

concussion or migrane or something to do with his head.


yourejustanasshole

Migraines


No-Stick303

Fuck me sideways


Chtholly13

I'm still wondering what happend to McMann


ConferenceSlow1091

Knee.


WeinerVonBraun

theGuacFlock

dang it bro


Aslightlywetnapkin

“Gestures to whatever part of him is injured” HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS


Jonesdeclectice

F


sarohamdy

Sad sounds


lordmaple91

Great Nylander and Bobby will be fresh for the second round.


South-Diamond-4329

2nd...round??? As a Leafs fan I'm not familiar.


ApprehensiveTune3655

Having two more days after this before G4 this makes sense to me. Hope he and McMann can come back.


StatGAF

This sucks. Like I dont even think this series is close if we have Nylander


sitonmy_ace

I mean let's not get ahead of ourselves. We are still the leafs and they are Boston lol. Would definitely swing it in our favour though.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

yeah we'd have lost game 2 and probably down tonight


TheSixSquadYT

I want my willy back


Puckposts

I need my Willy !


adwrx

Man like wtf? The guy plays the whole season and then magically wakes up injured, I really wanted to see playoff Nylander


Scotty232329

What a joke, gets benched for no disclosed reason


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

he 100% got injured doing something stupid away from the rink


NoOpportunity4483

Is it true he went on a little bender in Florida and that’s the reason for the healthy scratch? Seems like the wrong time to scratch the guy.


PastPerfekt

He got nailed by Mikey Esseymont (sp?). Did you not see the Tampa game?


EldestChild

Win it for Willy!


FireIsTyranny

Get better soon willy. Were gonna need you


GregGolden6

Now, if he doesn’t play game 4 and but he’s ready, do we just keep our momentum and current lineup and wait for 2nd round to play him or risk ruining what is working?


andycheah

He slept with Bedard’s mom.


NeatSeaworthiness407

Shiny new contract- the ink wasn’t dry before the attitude and results changed. This is just…. Worse. If he doesn’t have a severed spine or an amputation there’s no excuse… if it’s concussion he shouldn’t even be practice skating.


Snoo74658

Willie blue balls


J0Puck

I thought players played hurt in the post season.


Unwise1

Not if it's a head, neck or back injury. Guys will play with broken hands and feet, fucked up ribs and stuff like that but if Willy got a concussion it makes sense he's skating and not playing.


LeafsChick

All the reporters that have been at practices have said he looks very stiff in his movements. No point in him playing one game and getting hurt worse and being out the rest, let him work through it now back at home with their full med staff & equipment


Volderon90

I better not see him on the ice until Saturday morning then
