  • The Nylander saga Comes to a shocking end

    The Nylander saga Comes to a shocking end

    In typical Toronto Maple Leafs fashion contract holdout William Nylander has signed a contract minutes before the 5pm deadline.

    Contract is reported as $6.9 million per season for 6 years.

    This is the contract number the Leafs were looking for. Expect Nylander to join the team sometime next week. Still many question arise for Nylander though? Is this just a deal for this season and then he will be traded? How will the team accept him?

    I guess all these questions will be answered in the coming and year.

    Stay tuned to #NylanderWatch I feel like there is still much more to give here.

    PP                 0/0              0/0

     

    Analysis:

    Both teams flying up and down the ice. Leafs got a nice goal from Travis Dermott, his first of the season. Andersen had to be big in this period as the Leafs gave up quite a few shots.

    Need to Do:

    Play the uptempo game that is needed for this team to win.

    Second Period:

    Toronto Penalty – 1:55 – Par Lindholm 2 minutes for Hooking

    Boston PP Goal – 03:39 – David Pastrnak (18) from Brad Marchand (16) and Torey Krug (9)

    Faceoffs          20/42            22/42

    Hits                 10                    15

    PP                   0/1                  1/1

    Analysis:

    Leafs looked to come out flat in the 2nd period but always seemed to have an answer for what seemed to be the David Pastrnak show all over again.

    Need to Do:

    Tighten up defensively, while still pushing the play.

    Third Period:

    Toronto Goal – 18:25 – Zach Hyman (4) from John Tavares (13) and Mitch Marner (27)

    End of 3rd – BOS– 2        TOR – 4

    Shots              40                      31

    Faceoffs        25/58            33/58

    Hits               19                       23

    PP                 0/1                    1/1

     Analysis:

    Leafs shut the game down in the 3rd with the help of Freddie Andersen of course. Marner had another 3 assist night to add to his already ridiculous amount of assists.
