Nylander, as the highest in the zone, was the only one who got to change when the Florida player missed the net and it bounced out of the zone. Tavares and Rielly were deeper in the zone and the puck only got to neutral ice, so they had to keep defensive positioning to avoid getting caught in a 2 on 1 or breakaway.
Anyone else concerned about Tavares?

Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
JT will look better on LW as he gets more reps on da wall .. i think ROR and JT will help us get to round 2 .. hopefully Keefer moves Willy to 3rd line so we can have productive lines like he always talked about

That's not true. We can clearly see at 6:55 in this video:
that Nylander changes alone, with 47 seconds left in OT. He is replaced by Marner.
We can then see Rielly in the defensive zone afterward, and the broadcast even puts a nameplate over him, as he clears the puck up to Tavares with 28 seconds left in OT (7:14 in the video) for the goal.
That's why he has an assist on the Tavares goal.

Thanks for posting that. My PVR messed up and didn't record the OT (I watched it in the highlights). I was going by the NHL website's TOI for my post.
80 games 80 points 36 goals imagine being concerned about John Tavares

He's becoming increasingly reliant on the PP for scoring and he's posting minuses on an upper level goal differential team.. overpaid by at least a few million.. but still a solid second liner for sure. I also like that Tavares is one of the few Leafs that is consistently willing to go to the net even in today's rather soft league.
I don't care how he gets the points just that he gets them.
If he can solve the PP come the playoffs, good

I really didn't like Tavares' quote about learning lessons from Game 1 yet again. It's just a very trite, no pulse kind of response from the leadership that's reflective of the overall team effort to finish the game.

I like JT, but he is cooked. His contract can not expire fast enough.

That was a massive response led by John Tavares’ hat trick there.
Looked pretty good tonight
He has 4 points in 2 games, I have several concerns around this team, John Tavares is not among them.

For sure! I think Keefe needs to leave him at his natural position C. I don’t like him on the wing.

Captain Johnny Toronto with a hat trick in the series and the game winning OT goal in game 6 to send the Bolts packing.
Yeah, this thread aged real well.

We should be even more concerned than ever after his play throughout the series. He was so bad in the dzone and couldn't connect an easy pass last night.
