TRAIKOS: As they enter their fourth year together, Nylander and Tavares still striving for a higher level of consistency Via Michael_Traikos
Through it all, they keep coming back to one another. And as they enter the fourth year mostly playing on a line together, their relationship is strong enough where both can be open and honest about each other’s game.Article content“He’s hard on me,” said Nylander. “He can be tough. We can be on each other too if we think there’s something else that could be done. It’s healthy.”
“I think there’s still improvement to be done there, for sure,” said Nylander. “I put so much pressure on myself. I want to do a good job. There was a period of 10 to 15 games where I was unhappy. I didn’t have the consistency. Part of that is not being down on yourself, but at the same time it’s also being hard on yourself to get back up to where you can be.”Article contentTavares has helped in that department. But it’s far from being a one-way relationship.
When Tavares signed with the Leafs in 2018, he spent the first season on a line with Mitch Marner and scored a career-high 47 goals and 88 points. Once Sheldon Keefe replaced Mike Babcock as the head coach, Marner was paired with Auston Matthews, leaving Tavares with Nylander.Article content
