""He's just so good and so dangerous. His ability to make it seem like the puck is glued to his stick and following him around the ice," Maple Leafs assistant captain John Tavares said. "That's what makes great players special is their ability to control the game and let things flow through them.""
""I thought our line was making good plays, staying hard on pucks and doing a pretty good job in the neutral zone for most of the night," Tavares said. "That allowed us to gain some good puck possession, go forecheck when we had too and use our ability to spread the ice. Obviously, when Willy gets it in space, he's as dangerous as anybody.""
