Just to be transparent.
I just made up that quote to stir the pot.
Willy is above such nonsense.
Nylander vs Pastrnak: may the best 6ft 29yo RW #88 win - how do you think they stack up ?

This ^^
Nylander is great and he closed the gap on anyone in this league with his last year ! But I'd say it's bit easier for Leafs to focus on Pasta since there was a 50-point gap between him and 2nd Bruin.
But damn, these two are buddies since their time in junior in Sweden, right now Nylander is the man ! If we win this series, I can see Styles mentioning it every time they have dinner after Bruins -Leafs game ! As he should.
Also,do we need another jinx thread? Let their 60-goal scorer have another meh game. We should have thread that says, Pasta you're doing great, keep it up bro

"Boston is built different this year"
Bruins' Marchand says Maple Leafs are 'built different' this year
Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand has faced the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup Playoffs four times across his career. However, he believes this iteration of the Leafs is different from years past.

This is their off year for sure, playing without adding C and with cap hit from DK and Bergy.
That being said, once you're up 3:1 it's uber-choke job second year in a row.

Pasta did very well finding his role/line chemistry with the Bruins early on and he's done very well for himself, especially during the regular season
Hope he enjoyed watching Willy win the game for the Leaf last night though

This fits with my theory that Nylander is, in fact, a lizardman. It's highly likely that Willy and Pasta were hatched from the same clutch and are sharing the same notes on how to fit in with the rest of human society.
I dunno evertime I switch on a Boston game I see Pasta shooting pucks into the crest and on a number of occasions miss a wide open net. Then I saw him take 50 seconds in the skills comp after Matty knocked em down in 9.
Probably sample size bias, but must be nice developing on the perfection line as opposed to Dubies team.
I like Willy, he floats and stings, which pisses some people off, but he's a gamer.

Willy has 7 elimination game seven goals and is tied with D.Keon in fourth position behind leader W.Clark who has 10.

Yes, Matthews and Nylander agreed to level the playing surface by alternating games off.
We really gonna jinx ourselves into a breakout game 7 for Pastrnak with threads like these? Get this shit out of here.

I say this with great confidence to help reassure you: this thread won’t determine the outcome of the Bruins Leafs Game 7 on Saturday.
Hope that helps

Both great. I pick the one who is still playing. That GWG was an all time great play and one people will remember like the Pat Kane Stanley cup winner. Certain plays are not forgotten

Very true.
Don’t forget he blew by Marner
And Rielly.
And had time to get the puck, go ACROSS the net, and score on a dump in breakaway.

Those two are good buddies. Pasta saw what Willy did in game 6(and 7), he knew he had to show up in critical moment like OT.
weird how this stuff works. Both had a rough series but Pasta scored the clincher and Willy flipped a puck in from the blue line and got another on an open net because a Bruin tripped in the corner so both will now be called big-time playoff performers.
You haven't seen enough of Pasta, then. He has great one-on-one skills, is fearless about going to the net, is an excellent playmaker. The Leafs targeted him and kept him in check for much of the series, and they were probably getting into his head a bit, but he is at least as skilled as Nylander (who is one of my favorite non-Bruins).
