Some of the comments here are much worse than the game.
Nxe6+ was unnecessary, it just gives away a piece and brings the Black queen into the defense. The simply Nf3 also threatens Qh6+ and attacks the rook at the same time.
16. e5 and the bishop sac on h7 is a good choice in a blitz game, a simple, straightforward attack.
Yes, 16. Bg5 would be winning the exchange, but Black would get the important d-pawn plus the bishop pair as compensation after 16... Rxd4. Not at all easy to win.
I thought about that and it makes sense. However, if Rxd4, play can follow: Bxf6 Rxd1, Rxd1 gxf6, Rd7 Rc8(forced), Bf4 Bxf4(forced) Rxb7 and white has traded a pair of bishops(his dark square bishop for black's light square one), so now all black has to show for the exchange is the 3-to-2 pawn majority on the queenside, which is not enough. White would win eventually with good technique. Hope I'm right!

Nxe6+ wins though. He didn't play Bxg6+ Kg8 then Bg5 which wins

After the Bg5 that you are referring to, Black just plays Qg7, and he's winning.

After Black played Rfd8, White had an easy win with Bg5.

The knight would take on d4.

Black can't play Nxd4 after Bg5, because White captures the queen with Bxf6.

O wow, it's hard to distinguish between the bishops and queen.
