Kempe ruined that 5 on 3

 

[Muston Atthews]

The non-Nylander side of that 5 on 3 was terrible. Forcing pucks all over the place

 

[OvenMittz*]

Nylander passing is so slick

 

[mikebel111*]

Barzal lost his coverage there though it was a nice spin move by Ek

 

[BertCorbeau]

Barzal loses his man, leads to the goal

 

[OvenMittz*]

Sweden's coaching looks terrible.

That 5 on 3 strategy was so bad.. Canada was stationary and didn't have to move at all on that PK..

 

[IBeL34f]

What a play by Eriksson-Ek. Liked him a lot last year as well, good pick by the Wild

 

[hotpaws]

Baral loses his man and Fluery decides covering the post is more important than cutting off Ek

 

[tmlms13]

If the Leafs are picking outside the top 5 please take Alex. Or maybe get lucky and Pitt will make the playoffs and Alex will slide.

 

[Apotheosis]

Alex Nylander fanning on it. Haha.

Me too. Was hoping we'd draft him heading into the draft.

I doubt it, I would love to take him with Pitts pick but if its our pick, I want BPA.

Anybody ever thought of a Swedish connection line?

Timashov - Nylander - Johnson

 

[Muston Atthews]

Man, Nylander is great at zone entries

Nylander and Johnson will both probably be on the Leafs next year. Doubt they'd put two rookies together

 

[BertCorbeau]

It's good to see Timashov with Nylander... Dmytro is moving up in the line up perhaps

love watching Willie move around the ice , he looks like he's grown man playing with kids

 

[champs*]

Man, Nylander is great at zone entries

he does all this in the ahl too

I know ... he just is 100% in control. The puck is glued in there ... ton of control.

I mean in the future. Timashov is a great playmaker with great hands, as is Nylander, but Willie has a ridiculously good wrist shot so probably a good goal scorer at the NHL level. And Johnson is a pure sniper so those two setting him up would be gravy. Obviously all hypothetical, but Andreas has been very consistent in Sweden since we drafted him, Nylander is a given and Tima has played exceptionally as well.

 

[IBeL34f]

Man, Nylander is great at zone entries

He absolutely loves that play where he swings back towards his own zone, gets a good look at the ice, and plans his attack. It's a lot of fun to watch, and really showcases his vision and IQ

 

[tmlms13]

I doubt it, I would love to take him with Pitts pick but if its our pick, I want BPA.

Like I said if the Leafs pick falls, to 7 or something he might be the BPA, god forbid we think about something like chemistry.

 

[KGL]

Woooooow enough with the penalties.

 

[IBeL34f]

Another 5-on-3. I've only been watching this period, but it's been all Sweden so far.
