Leafs @ Panthers - Mar. 29th, 7:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

No guarantees but it feels like Nylander has set up/had great scoring opportunities that easily could have had him with another 5-6 points on the season.

And there's a post. Feel like there's been more than a few of those this season now. And of course he was just barely missing the net on prime scoring opportunities a bunch of times in his first handful of games.

 

[herman]

Nylander backchecks the whole way after just clipping the post to finish off his tic-tac play.

Also: Greg McKegg acquitting himself quite well tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

Bring him back!  Bring him back!  C'mon people, chant with me!

If we get rid of 2 of Lupul/Greening/Michalek/Laich/Bozak Kad?uhforgetitnotgoingthere I'd be all for that.

[CarltonTheBear]

Speak of the devil!

 

[McGarnagle]

I'm thinking we won't be the 20%. 3 way tie with ED and Van, edmonton 3 games in hand.

Nah, you're right, Bozak will probably have to go regardless of that condition!

Oops.

Nylander could have so many more points so far in his NHL career if any of the tap-ins he's set up or posts he's hit had gone in.

Definitely. He's just calibrating.
Once we get him some wingers (or a 1C), it'll be game on.

I dunno.  Somebody is going to have to score from the C position since Nylander is looking more and more like a complete flop.  A Top 10, superdisappointing floppo.

 

[herman]

Ben Smith promoted to the 3rd line over Brad Boyes, who must've done something to Babcock's dog or something. Can't seem to get on coach's good side.

Nazem Kadri diving into a hattrick

 

[herman]

Kadri with the hattie?

And it happens as I'm typing.

I'm betting my life-savings on Nylander scoring a hat-trick on Thursday.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

What's that, 3 goals and 3 drawn penalties?

 

[ZBBM]

That was cheap, Nazem, and you should feel cheap.

 

[herman]

What's that, 3 goals and 3 drawn penalties?

Two penalties only, but I think they converted on both.

You're right, thought there was another one but nope.

Friggin' Gerbernier, ruining everything.

The Jagr hook, and the McKegg trip, if I recall correctly.
