Matthews on a heater

I think people wrote malgin off a bit too quickly

 

[TMLeafer]

Funny how Ritchie, the exact type of player we needed was given such a short leash last year but other guys like Malgin, ZAR and Engvall are given endless opportunities

"exact type of player we needed" A guy who plays like he's half his size and skates in quicksand?

He may have changed his style after the trade but he showed NOTHING here with some prime linemates.

Willy was jumping tonight

He likes to play well against his buddy Pastrnak

He could have been a good, though high priced 3rd liner and PP net presence specialist on the PP. We seem to not value different aspects of the game, to the point of it almost being a phobia. Though Dubas did pick up a more.valuable though temporary player in Lybushkin.

 

[Wendelstache]

Marner deserved that assists after fighting back to save a goal earlier. C'mon boys!

Nylander has that big Willy energy this season. Such a stud, love the tinted visor look too, G shit baby.

No more, Big Willie. my game has grown, prefer you call me William

 

[Ginger Papa]

Willy & Auston…​

Leafs are switched on now…..

 

[Leaf Rocket]

has the leafs played good in the second period. dogho has been since so couldnt see

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Nylander seems to be taking advantage of his weird skating stride more this year. Looks like he isn't trying and then he just ramps it up and blows by the defender.

nylander matthews goals are the best. twentysixteen vibes

Ritchie was given a month on the top line and was horrible.

Malgin has been great, he looks better than Ritchie ever did here. While Engvall hasn't been great this year, and ZAR started off rough both add good penalty killers.

Loving lily's play

Really stabilizin the D

 

[TimeZone]

Even those subtle plays that Sandin makes like he just did there in the defense zone are extremely concerning to me.

Just forces an unnecessary play in his own zone with plenty of time. Not a fan of his game this season at all

 

[Teeder Keon]

Willy has everything except balls
It’s really too bad

 

[garce]

Kampf does smart things

 

[Mitch nylander]

We look great.

Big 4 are all playing tonight. 4th line is fantastic. Would like to add another third liner.

 

[Tak7]

Has anyone else noticed a change in Tavares' skating?

He looks faster, but with shorter strides. As good as he's been moving in a long time.

 

[TMLeafer]

That second retaliation is ALWAUS a penalty unless you wear yellow

 

[Mickey Marner]

Fight him Holl!

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Has anyone else noticed a change in Tavares' skating?

He looks faster, but with shorter strides. As good as he's been moving in a long time.

it was his offseason task and he was healthiest for the first im a long time in the off -season.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Is it just me ????
I really thought our 12 was tougher , meaner , and scrappier than what’s he’s shown ??

 

[leafsfan5]

Yo where did physical Engvall come from???

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Engvall playing way more physical tonight

 

[saffronleaf]

woww any time matthews shoots something's gonna happen
