Nylander with awesome assist to Mathews

[Bedards Dad]

I'd say that was all Matthews. Nylander was getting beat and just made a last attempt to put the puck in front. Funny what you leafs fans get so excited about.

While I agree this is a dumb thread let's not pretend only Leafs fans make them.

As for the pass, it's funny how good players always seem to make these kind of plays. Almost like they know if they can get it to the front there is a good chance at a shot. The effort to downplay that is hilarious at best and pathetic are worst.

That was basically just Matthews. Nylander had pretty much nothing to do with that. He was losing a battle behind the net and just poked the puck away. Matthews on the other hand could sense were the puck was going. It's like the puck just finds Matthews. He's scary good in situations like this.

Classic Mulletman.

Magnificent aldready 34 goals in only 57 games as a center despite battling with injuries whole season. Future 60 goal scorer calling it now

If he doesn't continue to battle with injuries. Not saying he will but for the past couple of years it definitely seems to be a trend.

Oh look, he finally did something this year. Totally worth every penny and a thread to justify it for the OP Leaf fan.

They aren’t a Leaf fan, if I were to guess they are a Nylander fan.

This thread shows up on the main board as "Nylander with awesome ass..."

"Feels like i'm paid .. Nothing at all.. Nothing at all.."

Nice work by Nylander but that was not a pass he meant to make to AM. He just through it out front, great work but lucky that someone converted on a puck floating around in the slot

With his two point effort he is also closing in on the top 40 in scoring. Chasing down Giordano and Zibanjad. Kid is amazing.

Well, if you're going to look at it that way, so is Patrice Bergeron.

Yrah, 8ts a cool goal. Not super impressive though. He was just trying to get the puck in front, not really a pass to matthews. Great effort.

Lmao there are times when trolls on the main board are very good at hiding they are trolling, but then there's posts like these that just give the shtick away. Thanks for the laugh though

His recent posts are on petterson, loui eriksson, grundstrom.

Gonna throw a wild guess out there that hes a swede.

I think that's a safe assumption.

Possible. But look at the entire play where Nylander starts out by scating the puck up ice, finds Mathews with a good attempt and then tries to get to the rebound. Battles for the puck and then finds AM again. This time it ends up in net. My feeling is he tries to see where AM is at all times. More likely it will result in a goal that way.

 

[Slimmy]

It's nice work by Nylander but I wouldn't say it's so great that a whole thread should be started over it.

Or maybe it is because it is Nylander after all and we normally don't see this type of effort out of the guy.

Nothing wrong with a bit of nuance.

Dummied by the sens. Woo.

 

[lomiller1]

Good goal but there are comparable ones in most games. It's not really thread-worthy.
