From the Branches: William Nylander versus the world

Good morning. Today’s FTB is really just an excuse for me to gush a bit William Nylander. Did you see this ridiculous goal at the World Championships? Yes? Watch it again.

Anyway, he’s having a time at World Championships right now. As an update: Sweden and Canada both progressed to the semi-finals yesterday and we’re one game closer to a William Nylander vs. Mitch Marner final. The winner automatically* claims second place in this year’s Top 25 Under 25 so obviously the outcome is a big deal for them.
