Toronto Maple Leafs superstar William Nylander got into an altercation with former head coach Sheldon Keefe, and it ultimately got cut from a new Amazon documentary.
If you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, there is a good chance that you are enjoying the new Amazon Prime documentary about the team called "All Or Nothing."
The documentary even has footage from the Sheldon Keefe years. Unfortunately, some of the most important footage is actually missing.
According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, there was one crucial scene in which William Nylander got into a pretty significant altercation with Sheldon Keefe.
However, it was never aired. This is due to a coordinated effort to control Nylander's image and make sure he didn't look bad in the eyes of the public.
William Nylander fights Amazon
According to Friedman, his agent and even the NHLPA had to get involved. Clearly, the argument was a bad look for Nylander, and his reputation could have been permanently altered.
Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts said there was a scene in the Leafs' Amazon All or Nothing doc that involved an argument between Keefe and Nylander. The Leafs, Nylander's agent, and the NHLPA all fought to have it taken out as it made Nylander look bad, and Amazon obliged.
With that in mind, it only makes us that much more curious about what was said in the argument. What was so bad that Nylander could have faced permanent harm?
If you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, you can't help but be a bit concerned. Although Keefe is no longer on the team, so it's not like it really matters.
For now, fans will just have to make their own assumptions about what was said and whether or not it is something they care to give bandwidth to.
Whenever you hear that the NHLPA is getting involved, you know that it is serious.
