Game #7 Review: Toronto Maple Leafs 4 vs. Minnesota Wild 2

Your game in ten:

1. It was almost another dud of an opening shift for the Leafs after Tyson Barrie threw a blind giveaway up the middle of the defensive zone for a scoring chance… and then almost a perfect first minute for the Leafs when Ryan Suter over-skated a puck and John Tavares sent William Nylander in alone on Devan Dubnyk just seconds later.

Nylander needs to start introducing more deceptiveness to his one-on-one moves when in alone on the goalie; he’s gone to that same easily-read backhand-forehand deke — where he’s either trying to tuck it five-hole or beat the goalie to the far post (unclear which) — several times already and NHL goalies are tracking it easily.
