Game 4: Bruins @ Leafs - Apr. 17th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

He got the Pasta contract, how about he plays like Pasta?

I think you can make a pretty reasonable case that Nylander's performed better than Pastrnak this series. Pasta was pretty invisible in the first 3 games.

I think you can also make a reasonable case that Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand are better hockey players right now than Patrick Marleau and Connor Brown.

Lol

You may want to re-check that. JT is the leader at EV/60. So seeing Willie does get PP time, let's do this another way...In P/60 all situations he's 7th. O Dog and Ferraro were just talking about Nylander and they were both saying he's playing ok but he needs to do more. They actually acknowledge his wingers are crap, like all have here but both state he's not playing up to his capabilities. Leaves you wanting more. He goes down the wing, turns back up the ice and throws "weird" angle shots at the net was one of the comments. They also said possession numbers are good but if you're on the perimeter who cares.
Bottom line, we all like him and want him to succeed but some of us expect more from him and he has it in him to be better.

Those numbers are for 5v5. EV strength are the numbers you reference, GT.

It?s also a bit laughable to gauge Nylander?s PP points since that unit is literally just him and an injured Gardiner.

Nylander is also 3rd on the Leafs in 5v5 G/60 in the playoffs so far.
