Monday’s game was a frustrating one. Pekka Rinne decided to be that guy and stop everything, Auston Matthews had chance after chance leading up to an overturned goal via offside review, and the narrative has again returned to what is wrong with William Nylander.
Mike Babcock went to his old bag of tricks after reuniting Matthews and Nylander at even strength, and that won’t be the only throwback ahead of the New Jersey Devils game. The Leafs were sporting some new powerplay units that are amazing to look at on a screen.
