Leaked Video Captures William Nylander's Playoff Fire for the Maple Leafs

The 2024-25 season for the Maple Leafs can be considered an overall success. Yes, the team has struggled at times, and they are far from the perfect well-oiled machine that fans are expecting night in and night out, however they are still on the edge of winning the Atlantic Division and securing home-ice advantage.

One player that we can all thank for that is William Nylander. After pouring in a 98-point campaign last season, his numbers have slightly dipped however given that he's playing more defensively; it's impressive nonetheless.

In all 77 games for the Maple Leafs this season, Nylander already has a career-high 44 goals, and if he gets on a roll could hit 50 by season's end. He;s also Toronto's clutch performer, with eight game-winning goals; tied only with fellow second-line teammate John Tavares.

It's clear that he's focused on winning, and all of his comments in recent days show that while his personal accolades are certainly something to be celebrated, the ultimate goal will always be to win the Stanley Cup.

So don't be surprised to see him go quietly into the night.

A short clip on social media shows that recently, Nylander has had so much passion and isn't afraid to throw his superstar status aside in order to stick up for his team or play hard or gritty.

Not to mention last season where the forward had no qualms about calling out Mitch Marner in the playoffs either.

The Maple Leafs are going to be a force to be reckoned with come postseason time, especially if they can pick things up quickly. But if not?

Expect William Nylander to try and light a fire under them before it's too late.
