William Nylander speaks after Toronto Maple Leafs loss
Nylander spoke to the media on Saturday night and it was here where he was asked what is wrong with the team right now.
In his mind, a lot of it has to do with the team not playing a full 60 minutes. Furthermore, he thinks the team needs to simplify its game.
William Nylander: "I don't think that we get to our game until at some point in the third period. Just not playing to our level right now."

What has to change?
"I think we just gotta simplify and grind a little bit. That's it."
Ultimately, the Maple Leafs have been playing poorly and that is the bottom line of the last few weeks.
The Ottawa Senators are now only a few points behind and that is embarrassing for the Leafs who are now at risk of being relegated to a Wild Card spot.
Craig Berube and the rest of the squad should be worried and this should be enough to light a fire under them on Monday against the Calgary Flames.
This last stretch of the season will be crucial and the team is going to need to get some momentum going or they risk a disastrous end to the season.
