Draymond quiet ASFFFF

Sportsnet's Luke Fox revealed a story about Nylander and Berube late in the season, long after Auston Matthews was taken out for the year. Fox noted that Nylander wasn't playing with enough heart for Berube, who paused the drill and implored Nylander to try harder. Well, he didn't take too kindly to that and immediately fired a shot without a pass on the next go, completely spitting in the face of his coach's instructions: “I felt like there was a generational gap. I'll tell you a story. There was a practice at the end of the year when things started to go sideways and Nylander was coasting through the power-play drill, not passing the puck with purpose and not shooting it. Berube yells 'Willy shoot the puck! If you have a look, take a look and shoot!' They start again and he immediately shoots it. Doesn't even do the drill. Berube says 'Willy, stop being such a d-word', you know he tried to have fun but Nylander never took it seriously right?”
