Dude was awesome tonight!

He was more physically engaged, but be nice if he had someone like marner feeding him pucks.

Looks like coach needs to call him out every now and then.

Or Tavares should play with someone else?

The fact Nylander is the only minus player on that list says a lot.

The fact Nylander is the only minus player on that list says a lot.

He needs one of those fluke games where he gets a +6.

His buddy Pastrnak needs a fluke +10 game ...

Leafs-Devils takeaways: Matthews, Nylander rise to the challenge, McCabe’s outstanding return

Nylander and Auston Matthews scored twice, as the Maple Leafs upended the Devils in Sheldon Keefe’s homecoming. Devils captain Nico Hischier scored twice on the power play, while Jack Hughes added a single to open the scoring.

“He doesn’t really change, I think he’s the same person through and through,” Matthews said of Nylander post-game. “The attitude stays the same. He’s going to do his thing out there, and he’s not really going to let any outside noise bother him, that’s something we really appreciate.”

Matthews was sensational in the third period, scoring two goals that almost ripped through the top corner of the net, bringing a Scotiabank Arena crowd back to life.

“He led the way. I thought that he was dialed in, he was working, shooting, attacking, doing a lot of good things, we need that from our leader,” Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said of Matthews post-game.

Matthws received the belt for his efforts — it has been retrieved, after Morgan Rielly figuratively presented it to Connor Dewar after Toronto’s victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on January 7.

They have their stars locked up around $9m, a solid goaltending tandem, I believe plenty of cap space and tradeable assets. If Tom Fitz goes for it, and makes the right moves, they could go to the SCF. Imagine Keefe taking the Devils to the SCF in his first year. I don't want to think about them winning it.

When asked after the game how he seems to score so many goals on breakaways, Nylander joked:

"I don't know, I don't get a lot of good passes."

“I think we gained our momentum,” Nylander said. “We had a lot of hard work and that started paying off, started getting more high-quality scoring chances so just try to build off that. I just saw an opening and he just put it right there and I was able to walk in.”

That might be hopeless ... have you listened to some of them?
