Nylander scored a big goal against the Bruins in game 7 but it didn’t stand up.
Game 7 stats:
Nylander has played 6.
2G 2A 4pts
Matthews has played 6.
0G 3A 3pts
Marner has played 6.
0G 2A 2 pts
But let's all talk about Nylander having a "lazy" backcheck in Game 6 of the regular-season. (And it wasn't "lazy" he's a forward who was skating backwards and made a bad turn).
Jesus, these Marner fan bois will do anything to move the goal posts. They keep saying "this season the PP sucks" yeah, and it's only 6 Games in. It's a FACT that last season – with Marner – they started the season 3/38. Maybe give them time to adjust, if by Game 20 it's still sputtering, you Marner fan bois can tell us all about how badly they miss little Mitchy.
It all starts with Matthews and Willy. No doubt they’re 2 of the best in the world and Willy has been my favourite player since he was drafted. They don’t have what it takes to drag a team through the trenches. 10 years and their game won’t change now. If im Berube im playing that Jays game on a loop all season in the Locke room
As long as Mathews and Nylander are on this team they will never win a cup because they are a bunch of powder puffs
Players disrespecting other players on their team doesn't always end up well. Case in point Vancouver last year.
You want excitement and hype around the leafs than stop ripping on them. Leafs in the mathews Era 9 playoffs. 31 playoff wins also won 2 rounds. Jay miss the playoffs 5 years and have won 7 games in the last 9. 7!!!! And you hail them like God's. Leafs also won seven this year. Leafs win one series and your like big deal so what. Jays win a 5 game series for the first time in ten years and it's like these guys are heros. Jays have one 7 game series win in 32 years and only 5 playoff wins in 32 years. But the leafs need to learn from the jays?? The leafs have won 90 playoff games in the last 32 years.
You give vlady God status while crushing marner for his appearance s in game 7s. Vlady has 18 plate appearances in elimination games with a total of 3 hits Why don't you give him the marner treatment. This is why leafs building is dead its nothing but complaining never praise for the guys.
To many suits in the seats
That disrespect towards the devils. We have a very deep team even with 7 players injured
Vladdy age 26, Matthews age 28. Vladdy achieved more than Matthews at a younger age.
How dare this guy saying the leafs will dominate the Devils all night long😂 Leaves did not even touch the Krakers😂
they are not playing for their country, jays mentioned our country, every player, leafs dont play for canada, one foot in canada, one foot in the usa, they dont care enough, while other players do, its not working and it wont work with this captain.
