Leaf notes from sunhornby : Five forwards spices up special teams
“It took some time to adjust to,” said William Nylander after the 4-3 win. “But it’s started clicking and we had a lot of chances today.Though the Flyers had a lower-ranked penalty kill than the Capitals or Tampa Bay, the latter which the Leafs also didn’t score against with an extra man in a win on Tuesday, Marner said beating Philly’s PK was hardly as easy as spreading cream cheese.
“They sit four tight and to beat them, you have to do it with tips or once in a while a shot through up top. It’s good by us to just stick with it and do what we do.”It seems there’s always a streak to follow on the Leafs, whether it’s Marner’s points, goaltender Ilya Samsonov’s string of home wins or the recent production of Bunting.
“That was a terrific goal by Nylander, but you go back to the shift before that and Pontus Holmberg’s line is out there , they bring the puck down the rink and grind the other team down. That doesn’t go unnoticed by the coach.”While Matthews posts a lot of pictures with his Bernadoodle Felix and Marner writes a Z for Zeus, his chocolate Labrador, on his equipment, the new canine companion of the team is Bud.
