It really was the Nylander Tour. He didn't disappoint. Imagine if the leafs could actually win the cup.

[@coopersbullhorn]

It would be celebrated around the world

[@angrydalailama6089]

These softies won't ever win a thing.

[@andygold3699]

they got the talent too! , they gotta get get it done!

[@rileyjdrippy]

I’d like to see someone put a hockey team together of all these people that say “ win a cup they need to win a cup “ and see you win a cup . It’s the NHL you think it’s that easy to win a cup ? You sound like a fake fan . A true fan is a fan when you win or loose . I honestly think the leafs winning isn’t a curse to them it’s a curse to the fans that need to learn how to get behind their team or don’t call them your team .

[@angrydalailama6089]

@@rileyjdrippy in my experience, fake fans are the ones who jump bandwagons every few years. Those of us who have intently watched the Leafs for decades have been (and are) in it for the long haul. We'll call a spade a spade. If you need positivity, you won't find it here.

[@Sunedosa]

The fact that Sundin is Domi's godfather is just awesome.

[@cche16]

nylander is the superstar toronto has been waiting for. he doesn't let the loud pressure and criticism from fans/media phase him. he's humble, talented and hard working. no problems off the ice and steps up in the regular and post-season every year. even his biggest haters in the media and fanbase changed their negative opinions on him because they can no longer deny he's an important piece. the vocal support for him has been a long time coming :)

[@SamHarvey1992]

He paid his dues on the Marlies too. I'd go to a lot of games back then and you could tell he was a league and a half better than everyone else

[@freethepeople2012]

been waiting for? he's been on the team for years

[@adamj8721]

This was awesome. Seeing Sundin always warms the heart

[@rtcharge]

Good for the Swedish guys putting on a show. Leaf nation is huge

[@aprilembroiders7243]

shout out to the equipment team fr nothing happens without all of their hard work

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

Nylander is literally a rock star in Sweden!! Absolutely nuts. Maple Leafs roots in 🇸🇪 run deep!!

[@eveloz]

At 3:14 Michael Nylander says "Show us some moves now"

[@timoh3572]

all blueprints should be this long, show more of the behind the scene stuff. Best one yet

[@thehudsonhwk]

This is what we need to promte on TV not just the internet. The NFL gives such great back stories, the NHL should take note so the fans can get to know their players on a more personal level.

[@fatimafaz07111980]

Loved the Nylander Blue print!! Awesome Leafs Media peeps!!

[@GoBudsGo]

Ty amazing, love these episodes. Just incredible how much effort is put in by supporting staff. Go Buds Go!!!

[@TheNovakReport]

I really love these episodes. And this one was especially well done!

[@pethcir]

So cool to see all the behind the scenes preparation of what it takes to be ready when travelling out of Toronto. So much planning goes into it. What a cool gig.

[@tranan661]

Thats my team in my hometown!!! Leafs with the tribute to the King himself Börje Salming on their jerseys is wonderful!

[@user-ys7eh9kx9p]

Im a new Toronto fan from Sweden =)

[@Tav57]

Fabulous video. So great to see how much went into the Leafs being there. Loved this. ❤️

[@nelsoncruck2458]

Great episode! Nice to see my Leafs hero Sundin! Well done! Go Leafs Go!

[@LeftHandShred2]

Give Nylander all of the money and all of the years.

[@dlmac5935]

Love these episodes. Major kudos to the behind the scenes folks. The amount of work they put in goes unnoticed until you see something like this. And not they go through all this every single game! Well done!

[@pantsmonsterv6]

My brother unloaded the equipment when they got back to Toronto. Really cool stuff.

[@user-tf5mo5jk7k]

need a mic and iso cam on willy 24/7

[@brandonburge9978]

Johnny T has the passion.

[@svperstar]

"We'll do it next time." "We'll do it right now!" lol

[@minnierapos8693]

So proud 9f you all great games in Sweden for William.

[@lgc_opc959]

Willy is the Keanu Reeves of hockey. He's playing this year like someone killed his dog.

[@niklassjoqvist3037]

hahahaha thats a good one

[@matthewjoscott]

The Leafs should think bigger than the Ontario market. With the star power and the brand, the Leafs should be investing in the same kind of global recognition that Bayern Münich, Paris St.Germain, Manchester City etc have. This trip showed how far and wide Leafs fans around the world are.

[@mannyromaris6118]

Let's keep it secret. Which way is North on Yonge st. if your coming from the west end?

[@TranTek]

Very well done, i can watch 30 minutes of this

[@kantstenchonthemel5641]

That's just great to watch... only a few hours away from the bruins game can't wait! Go Leafs Go!

[@EnahsFurm]

Roper is top G. Grew up next to him. Glad he made it to the show

[@agarcia9502]

Amazing episode, well done 🙏🏻

[@dalty_9364]

Go leafs go from Alberta, I travel to Toronto to watch game 5 the past 2 years now

[@jcv_7690]

sounds like a chirp

[@johnnyDs82]

Awesome

[@jimieljoseph2322]

Mo is class act and definitely did not deserve 5 games suspension if anything this guy gained more respect from his teammates and other NHL players retired and current. Not to mention Leaf fans, as well as all hockey fans in any country. ❤️🇨🇦👍

[@APisceanSlant]

SO GOOD!!! GO LEAFS GO!!!

[@PMMagro]

These games are great for young players and future players :) I hope man got the chasnce to see their idols live.

[@trumptrashends2024]

CLEARLY wizard willy and magic mitch would be in the top 8 goal scores each year if not brainwashed into passing to one with less ability

It's a shame we will never get past the first round this season

[@Pikabo0]

Last season’s roster is the best they’ve had since the 05 lockout imo. We were ROBBED of an incredible playoff series with Boston last year, I was adamant all year the buds matched up better against the bruins than teams like Florida

[@angrydalailama6089]

​@@Pikabo0the majority of our fanbase makes excuses for these bums. Don't. They're softies. Shouldn't have beaten Tampa and got rightfully pounded by Florida. This year will be worse - and don't be shocked if they end up in a wildcard or on the outside. Three words: tear it down.

[@Pikabo0]

@@angrydalailama6089 eh. Tampa definitely outplayed them in most of round one this year, but you could say the exact same thing for the 2022 leafs. Old heads love to insist great teams win games when they shouldn’t, after all. I think it was pretty clear from the moves they made at the trade deadline they were trying to counter heavy hitting, cycle heavy teams like Tampa and Boston. For as much as I complain about Keefe, he was fantastic at points in round one. Granted, he had literal months to prepare, but I felt he managed game 6 perfectly as far as line deployment and lineup moves were concerned. Keefe very clearly hadn’t planned against playing a team that forechecks as hard as Florida does, and officiating and Bob’s absurd performance aren’t enough of an excuse. He had no answer for Paul Maurice of all people.

[@GoBudsGo]

Panthers barely made wildcard and look how far they went. It's all a mental game. You should feel ashamed. Never stop beleafing.

[@GoBudsGo]

@@Pikabo0 No man, the buds were totally robbed especially in game 5 vs Panthers. Without a doubt, Willie's goal was in. Also no call on Gudas for clearly holding Jankrook's stick on their series winning goal. Terrible reffing, but that was last year. Buds have a great team this season, they just need to find consistency.

[@johnantonis8815]

The Leafs where about to have all of them together go for must have all there hearts tied together with rose vines that has needles on it to get pinched to be pushed at must motion moment all all cylinders must play together mustang together must have the same mind and heart to win it that’s the only way you’re gonna win the cup you need more other players but I truly believe any player that plays in the NHL are good players and with good players you can still win the cup I believe in that you don’t need superstars it’s really overrated but in the leaf organization we have a few superstars that’s an added bonus it’s just a mindset guts and glory and skate on your last breath all the time it’s the only way to win the Stanley Cup lease 51 years still waiting so many managers coaches and players since 1967 still having one in the cup imagine if it’s done with you guys what incredible nightmare day and night full of zombies in Toronto and across Canada and in the US going crazy never been done before in Toronto and the Raptors winning yet that parade will be peanuts compare what you will do to win the cup

Förstår varför han får domslut emot sig. Finns ingen som filmar lika mycket som shinimin. Domaren måste se hela situationen för att utesluta filmning.

[@thebottomline4070]

Since the point streak he has looked horrible. When he's the star - he is great - however, fades too much - I am a Leafs fan and I say trade him now. $10 million for flashes of brilliance - not sure.

[@discoveryman59]

Nylander is SOFT GARBAGE!!! A bag chaser that you NEVER win with in the playoffs! Trade the bum WITH Marner!!!
