Craig Berube joked earlier this week William Nylander has little time for his head coach. "He doesn't want me to talk to him," the Toronto Maple Leafs bench boss said with a smirk of his star winger.

There’s probably a few that are borderline crazy,” Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby said in 2010 about his own pregame routines, which at that time included walking a specific circuitous route through his home arena to avoid passing the visitor’s locker room and wearing the exact same lucky jockstrap he’d had since his junior hockey days to every single game.

William Nylander has become the most dangerous postseason goal scorer for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he's done so right at the perfect time. The Maple Leafs hold a 2-0 series lead over the Florida Panthers after a 4–3 win in Game 2, thanks in part to Nylander’s continued surge.
