New York. William Nylander put in one of the most impressive efforts of his career last night.
This is one of the main reasons why Toronto suddenly had an offensive position in eighth against the defending champions from Tampa.
– That was big but we have to realize that the job is not over yet, says Lille Neilt after winning 4-3 in which he contributed with one goal and two assists.
After losing the Maple Leafs at the Amalie Arena on Sunday I got William Nylander Barbs – two goals though.
He was considered too lazy, uninvolved and unwilling to participate in the melee game
In the fifth round at home at the Scotiabank Arena, the 26-year-old Swede’s sure note came.
After a failed first stint, when the Leafs were oddly tamed and ended up in a sweaty 2-0 deficit, he suddenly turned and began playing the hockey of the caliber he had only momentarily shown he mastered before.
Contribute to everything
One goal – dotted with a powerful shot into the net – and two assists were officially scored, but he contributed in every way; He constantly went to the exit, tore wrestling matches along the edges, checked him again and made sure to participate in most of the things that happened.
Jason Spiza spoke in the first half and made it clear to us that we weren’t good enough in the first 20 minutes. He’s a great leader so when he speaks everyone listens and he’s made an impact, says Lil Neilt when he meets the media afterward.
– In other cases, we started ice skating and put more soul into what we need to do. It was really nice that we were able to get around, but we have to realize that the job is not done yet.
ball match
No, another victory is required to beat the champions and the first opportunity comes the night before Friday – in Tampa.
– We have to be ready from the first drop, they will come out flying, just like in the fourth game. We hope we learned from what happened back then, says William.
However, Lightning is usually at his best with the knife in the throat – and as you know, you don’t lose two playoffs in a row.
– We believe in ourselves, that’s the thing, says Victor Hedmann, who scored the goals last night again.
Homeland makes the difference in the quarter-finals between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Boston Bruins.
The Hurricanes won the first two duels in Raleigh clearly and then the Bruins won evenly in the next two matches in Boston.
Last night Game Five was decided at PNC Stadium, and yes, the home team dominated again – winning 5-1 this time.
Rookie Seth Jarvis was responsible for two goals and controversial defender Tony DeAngelo for one – the latter of which can’t help but rave about journalists who fired poison arrows at him earlier in the series.
– I think the Boston media is upset tonight, but it’s okay, smile.
Notable in other respects is the return of Charlie McAvoy to the Bruins squad. He missed the fourth round due to Covid, but tested negative on Tuesday, flew to North Carolina in a private jet and was taken straight to the track.
– I have nothing to say about it except that I am in good health now, he says.
The Hurricanes could decide the series in Boston on Friday night, but the home team is likely to win again.
