NHL Analyst Rips Into William Nylander After Obscene on-Camera Gesture, Brutally Calls Out Maple Leafs’ Leadership
Nylander expressed regret for his gesture during a 4-1 home loss, amid Maple Leafs' playoff struggles and his upcoming Olympic play for Sweden.
- On Sunday, Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander briefly raised his middle finger at a TSN camera during the home loss to the Colorado Avalanche, then apologized on Instagram Sunday evening and to reporters at a Monday workout.
- William Nylander said the action came from frustration over sitting out recent games as he has missed 15 games this season, including the past five after a Jan. 15 groin injury.
- As the camera panned, the gesture was briefly shown and prompted an immediate on-air reaction; TSN’s Gord Miller said `Oh, Willy,` and William Nylander quickly texted, `Oh, not a good idea.`
- No NHL decision has been announced about discipline, and the Toronto Maple Leafs organization signalled they likely won’t punish William Nylander internally, with coach Craig Berube saying he `made a mistake` and owned up to it.
- Nylander aims to rejoin the lineup during the four-game western trip that starts Thursday in Seattle and is set to represent Sweden at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics next month.
