Any other player would have slapped the puck in deep on his forhand with a player on his back but N Y L A N D E R takes it off his backhand and see ya later ...

Great visit to Sweden and well organized. However, I'm always disappointed to not see Inge Hammarstrom involved in these type of things. He's not in the same category as Salming, Lidstrom, and Sundin but he deserves more respect. It took guts to come over when he did. I always thought he was a bit ahead of his time. If he came over 10 years later he might have been a 40 goal scorer.

Leafs Notebook: The PK improvement, a special week for William Nylander, and the roster decisions looming with Conor Timmins' return
An exciting week for the Maple Leafs featured two dramatic wins during their stay in Sweden. Only two games in a span of 12 days – albeit with travel to Europe and back – offers an opportunity to not only rest and heal early during the season but also to use the practice time to […]

When I watched Nylander in the Marlies he was a perimeter player, he was skinny, with shots and passes from the outside, now his game has evolved, he filled out his body with more mass, to power skating and driving the net and a wicked shot. He knows how to strip the puck off players too.
His first goal. Look who was on the ice with him. Brooks Laich taking the faceoff. Ben Smith on the other wing. Carrick and Marincin on D. Leafs have come a long way. Now he's playing with Tavares and Bert and haters are waiting for him to end his point streak so they can call him inconsistent and streaky. Matthews 6 goals in first 2 games yet no one calls him streaky. Actually there is one person who wants him traded for a bag of pucks each game he doesn't score.

Leafs 2021 Playoffs vs Montreal
Nylander 5 goals 3 assists 8pts in 7 games
Matthews 1 goal 4 assists for 5 pts in 7 games
Marner 0 goals 4 assists for 4 pts in 7 games
Yet Nylander gets tagged with being the inconsistent one.
He was already doing this in 2021. We're soon into 2024.
He didn't just come out of nowhere.
Nylander 2022 playoffs had 3 goals 4 assists for 7 pts in 7 games.
So it's not even a one off.

Shocking, seemed like the European game was his strong suit.
