What a game for the Maple Leafs! That 5-2 victory over the Lightning was a statement win. I mean, the way they took control in the second period was just phenomenal. Stolarz was an absolute wall in net, and those highlight-reel saves were something else! It’s great to see Nylander stepping up and contributing like that, especially with two goals and an assist. He’s really finding his groove this season.
And can we talk about Tanev? Seven blocked shots? That’s the kind of grit and determination that every team needs. It’s not just about scoring; it’s about making those crucial defensive plays, and he’s doing just that. The depth in this lineup is starting to show, especially with Pacioretty making an immediate impact.
Of course, there were some hiccups, like the disallowed goal for Holmberg and that questionable penalty on Ekman-Larsson. It’s frustrating when officiating can overshadow a great performance. But overall, this win puts them in a solid position in the Atlantic Division. I’m excited to see how they carry this momentum into the next game against Columbus. What do you think? Can they keep this up?
