Nick Kypreos was on one last night as he watched Nick Robertson of the Toronto Maple Leafs injure his own teammate, William Nylander.

To really understand what happened here, let us set the scene. Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs were taking on the Montreal Canadiens in a preseason game. At one point in the game, Robertson decided that instead of going after the puck himself, he would push William Nylander with his stick. Well, this actually knocked Nylander to the ice.

Subsequently, as he was on his way down, a Habs player accidentally kneed Nylander in the face. Nylander was left on the ice with what appeared to be a head injury. He then left the game and never came back due to precautionary measures.

During the intermission, Nick Kypreos unleashed on Robertson, and it was most certainly deserved. He essentially called the move bush league and questioned Robertson for his poor efforts. It was a passionate rant and you can watch it all go down below.

As for Robertson, he is trying to make the case that he deserves to be on the Maple Leafs roster. He just got signed to a contract that came following numerous trade talks that ultimately stalled out. Now is not the time for the kid to be making all kinds of bad plays. Only time will tell whether or not he gets it together.
