This is an awesome sequence from Nylander. It's particularly impressive given that he's on his off-wing.

(Please ignore the graphic)
If you're defencemen are going to be aggressive, they better be able to skate.

Let's just say that Polak is not creating this entry. Even if he did, he's not going to be able to catch Crouse.
Here's another example of Holl using his speed to make up for an aggressive play. This time he's covering for Muzzin, and covers a ton of ground in the process.
Other notes from this game thus far:

-Muzzin is a bit too shot-happy. Plays like someone who grew up in the old LAK system.
-Matthews + Nylander have been lethal. If they can carry the puck behind the net, someone seems bound to get open.
-Hyman looks better in transition at RW
Here's some Hyman entry magic at RW
