I really wish it was Pittsburgh that signed him to that.......

Can never forget that or that he didn't know Nylander was born in Canada. Sort of funny.
That's a great game from the 2nd line, Nylander going God mode, JT turning back the clock and Bertuzzi showing what he's capable of
It's a positive when the 1st line isn't going but we still get enough from the other lines to win important games
Nice to see the defense and goaltending starting to stabilize as well, it's exciting at times but you get the feeling the boys are starting to figure it out

I actually don’t mind Lagesson. He’s decent at reading the play and his positioning is fine as well.
He’d need another gear to become a regular but works alright in a pinch.

Both Beniot and him are solid and just do their job without thinking they can be the next Orr.

Knies is killing matthews-marner line just like when he was tried there in the playoffs. He's not ready to go up against the leagues top defences
It sure was. I haven’t seen the broadcasted game yet, so I am not sure what it sounded like to you guys. Being there in the building, it sounded like us Leafs fans were in the majority. The ”Go Leafs Go!” chant sounded loud pretty often.
Lot’s of Sundin jerseys in the crowd tonight, myself included. My Son rocked his Matthews jersey, so the generational factor was pretty obvious.
I never for a second thought they would be anything like Colton Orr.. they don't even play the same position
Bert looking better and better each game. He fits really well with JT and Willy. The first line has to get going though..

Wait, wasn't Bertuzzi doing the same earlier? And wasn't Knies fantastic for that line last week?
Ebbs and flows. Marner and Matthews are pretty difficult to play with. They only pass to one another and don't really like the forechecking/cycle/puck-retrieval/down-low game. Knies needs to play like Hyman and basically go to the net and get garbage - but he's more skilled and needs to adjust.
You can see why Bertuzzi works well with Tavares though, because he plays that style well. Tavares is excellent at adjusting to his linemate styles and he plays a very simple game. He's not a high-skill, fancy, highlight reel player but players seem to hit career highs when playing on his line.
I'm surprised Keefe hasn't switched the lines but then again, Auston & MItch have a five-point-night potential all the time. When they get hot (more often than not) they can produce with anyone on the left wing.
I like Knies there. He'll adjust. He's a very skilled player, very smart, strong, he's so young and it will take him time. If he's not hurting the line defensively, I wouldn't worry. He's best suited to top six than bottom six. And that Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok line looks pretty good!
Marner's been awful this year - yet, he's so gifted offensively that he'll always rack up huge points and capable of that one play to make a difference. When he gets hot, and he will, the sentiment around him will change quickly.
There are a certain few posters missing in this thread. You can tell the Leafs won.

They're too busy figuring out how to justify Dubas playing 10D chess trying to win with an average team age of 40.
Slow and zero skill didn't work, so let's try signing a bunch of guys past their prime.
its odd they only post when the leafs lose? are they not leaf fans?

Good game by the fourth line and defence. Solid netminding by Samsonov despite the second goal. But this game belonged to Nylander and the second line. Nylander took over the game and willed the team to victory. That’s the type of game we want from Matthews more often and especially in the playoffs. This was Bertuzzi’s best game and the Bert we thought we were getting.

The game winner is a perfect example of why the good guys of the board wanted Holl gone
Today they look like a good team, confident, strong with some areas of concern. You couldn't have a second line work any harder than we did today.
Never doubted they could pull this game out.
Robertson needs to stay and play.

Marner and Matthews are actually fine. Marner made a sick pass to Nylander on the PP.
The issue is their chemistry is maxed out and the league has caught up to their bag of tricks.
It's time to split them up.
I personally think Nylander-Marner would make the best duo on the team. Let Matthews QB his own line.

That’s awesome. The crowd came across as really into it on tv.
