At least for these first couple of games, this second line looks great.

Willie turned a corner a couple of years ago and has really taken to being more forceful pushing the play to the net. He’s very hard to knock off the puck and with Patches and JT, they really seem to understand they are three bulls who can dominate down low.

I was afraid Nylander would slack off with his new contract...but hes in the dirty areas more than ever this year. Its almost like he got a taste of the spotlight, of being looked as one of the leagues biggest stars and he wants more of it. Its exciting for us fans.

Its in his genes to have long shifts, but it looks like he is doing very good in that department. Maby because he is out there with the oldfarts, thats been realy good. I have been against Tavares and Nylander combo forever. But that line look to good to split right now. Maby Pac is the magic glue.
Now we got more options if they start to suck.

Woll on the otherhand.. way to long shifts... :sarcasm:

Yeah, some people say his game is the same which is false. He is certainly rounding it out and going into the dirty areas more. Should be at 20m a night though. MM at 26mins ever is crazy stupid for a lot of reasons but burn out and injury is the main.
