Very entertaining game. My only complaint is that the Bolts lost.

Point was dangerous every time he was on the ice. As well, back checked effectively. I'm a Leaf fan and point looked better then Kucherov and Stammer last night. We'll trade Nylander and a good prospect for Point.

The exciting thing about Point is that he has already shattered his projected ceiling. And he still has not peaked apparently. So, he is like a bonus prize. I am sure the franchise would have been thrilled if he turned out to be an effective 2nd line center. Now, he would be a 1C on a lot of teams. Does his ceiling stop there, or does he continue to skyrocket to a truly "elite" level? I wouldn't trade him for the Moon right now.

His compete level is off the charts. I know that cliche is repeated a lot, but it's true in his case.

If this was a playoff series, it would be tied 1-1 and it would be time to fasten one's seat belt and hang on for a wild 7-game ride. Neither team is going to sweep the other one.

I feel the same way. Can't wait for the next two in TO. Hope both teams are healthy. Nice fast paced game last night. Talent galore!

That was a fun game to watch!

I really hope these two teams meet in the playoffs, very entertaining hockey from two very skilled teams.

Especially with how Nylander is torching the league right now.
