This player needs to be better


cf 198-169 53.95%
goals 8-5 61.54%
xgf% 56.93
scorig chances 104-79 56.83%
high danger 48-32 60%

I get that every player can play better. But a little perspective...the team is in 1st, 11-3 ..this seems to be a little much at this point.

They really just hate themselves.

Simmons is purposely stirring up poop with this, but he's 100% right.

They've been pushing this narrative that Nylander is the next Sundin lol, and its all crashing down on them. They're way too invested in Willy, but it's been fun watching them self destruct trying to defend him.

Why do Leaf fans hate Simmons so much?

What does he say that is so upsetting?

I very highly recommend that you spend some time and read the articles he's written over the last decade so that you can form an educated opinion on the subject.

Well if does write it, you’re set. He’s a hack either way and appearing on Overdrive doesn’t signal credibility- Dave Feschuk

It was posted by RR that he's a #1C. Why do we require another #1C?

So Andersen gets a pass but Willy doesn't!

not in my books.

they both deserve the criticism they receive good or bad and they each deserve it.

Typically anything the Sun puts out is to be ignored..


But Doug Ford is premiere and is still popular, so maybe theres something to his madness?

And Alex Jones still runs Infowars

But yes I guess seeing "sun" on any kind of newspaper is the first indication

it didnt, just didnt know what else to say.

I dont like Simmons, but if he's comfortable with that front page then i feel like somethings up. Willy will start receiving even more gravelling from the fans now. If thats the case i'll back off. But i do think his time is coming to an end.

I mean he's running a story about a "Swedish enigma" who has the same number of points as Sidney Crosby in less ice time, so there's that.

Crosby competes every game.

It's not, nor has ever been about straight points.

Also, Willy plays with an elite C, Sid usually gets to play with some nobody..

he is just a poopty hot take artist who picks the easy low hanging fruit to get clicks.

years ago I would buy a paper every sunday and looked forward to his little article with quick notes...thought he was the best.

then the internet came around and I quickly realized in a bubble..his opinions seem cool...but in reality, most is poop..cherry picked garbage for hit pieces.

I do see how that can appear to certain sports fans tho

No. Just lending perspective on current production.

Nobody is saying they're equal players.

Point was that it's kind of stupid to write a hit piece on a productive player on an 11-3 team.
