William Nylander

[ZEBROA]

He and matthews need to get more shots on net. Potting 50% wont be sustainable. At least 6shots each game. 6 for nylander 8 for Matthews. Hope they find a way to adjust that.

Is there a better playoff performer on the Leafs?

Clark. Sundin. Keon. Gilmour.

Willy is now tied with Armie and Stumpy for 5th all time in playoff scoring as a Leaf.

 

[Aashir]

only person bringing consistent offence to the games

marner is good too, but the centers have been horrific at it. JT hasn't looked good for the past 5 games or so and Matthews has becoming philip danault

if he was at his normal offensive play, we'd probably be golfing rn but he has stepped up huge

How people can dislike this guy I don't know. I guess if you are judging him based on some lazy plays in January than sure. He might even be this team's emotional leader. If he is our best player in a long playoff run, than they should probably give him the captaincy and I'm serious here.

Willie is feeling it and I think he is just hitting that level.

 

[ZEBROA]

I am just afraid this production aint sustainable, we need more from Matthews(and automaticly we will get more from Mitch).

In thebpast personally the comxern i had with Nylander was the time he took shift off in the defensive end waiting for his teammate making play.

This season, it's not the case anymore and i think a huge part of it come to Berube.

Remembered me when Trotz goes in Washington and been able to show to guy like ovy than if they want to win in playoff, its starting with working hard in D, stay patient and scoring chance will come to you. Majority of their goal started with a pretty good defensive play. I think Pacioretty is also an amaizing fit with him and JT... For me it's the biggest difference... Better in defensive end so he's able to get even more good scoring chance and so he can do what he's doing the best.

The best way to get closer of a cup was to get everybody step up and playing good hockey and that's exactly what's happening right now

I used to think using the Chicago model, Marner was gonna be the Kane of the group. Boy was I wrong, Willy is our Kane.

As it stands right now atleast Knies-Matthews-Marner is a pretty good rendition of the Sharp-Toews-Hossa line, with Matthews obviously being no Toews.

Worth every goddamn penny.

What is amazing about Nylanders goal 1.... is he collides with the Panther player in his zone...and immediately he digs his feet in from 0 km/hr to be on the 2vs1.

Balance and strength to stay on his feet when running into the opponent.

The persistence, determination and excelleration to get back in the play and make it a 2vs1.

Whenever you watch playoff goals alot of them are the second and third efforts.

Marners goal...

Knies wins a board battle on the left side of the ice by physically separating the Panther defender off the puck.... the puck dislodged to Matthews and IMMEDIATELY Knies high tails it to the front of the net...just in time to screen Bob on the tight side of the net on the shot by Marner.

Probably not, he's typically a ppg player.
He's feeling it now though, here's hoping it continues for another month or so.

I'd hate to be a piece of drywall in my basement if Nylander doesn't win the Selke

Chicks dig goals. 9 EVP in 8 games. Next best is 5.

Need be nominated first. Not sure he has that in his game which is fine.

Yeah it'd probably go to a more complete player unless he really fills nets to a undeniable level.

I'm mostly joking and having fun. I'd be over the moon just to see a conference finals again

When you said Selke, did you mean Smythe?

Just make sure you aim for the space between the studs.... or else it will be your fist that I'd hate to be.
