Ok now second line just needs to build off of that and they have a good chance at scoring
again I say it: - A major reason I think the second line isn’t working anymore compared to before was before they embraced Tavares’s speed issue and worked around it. Tavares was often the playmaker to nylander who was often given the puck with speed through the neutral zone, this caused defenders to back up and allowed Tavares to position himself for the puck after the chaos Nylander or kerfoot cause from their speed. Look today, Tavares got an amazing chance because he sent Nylander on a break, and the chaos ended with him getting a chance.
Now Tavares is trying to be a one man show and nylander hasn’t been skating as hard.
