It'll be good to see Lily get some pp time. I still have hope he can become a solid 3/4.

This annoys me. Why not put Lily on the #1PP unit? WTF is Keefe even trying to signal here?
This galaxy braining by Keefe is one of the main reasons why Leafs struggle
He will be fine IMO. Rielly had played about 300+ games before he broke out. Lily is about half that and he is a lot better defensively IMO especially with breakout passes
Lily will be fine. We just need to be a bit patient here
Tank teams would be jealous of that line up

I'm probably the only one that thinks this, but this team is the most confident I've been for winning a cup.

Yup, you most certainly are on an island there.
Seems he is still sick... he's the guy I think in a season like this, they should be giving a bunch of minutes to. I appreciate that many don't like him, but he's got the type of offensive skills that we need more of from the back end. We also tend to have a lot of puck possession, score a lot, and don't give up much when he's out there. That could be small samples, but I'd love to give it an further extended run.

lol that's crazy
core must go supernova for that to happen
Matthews --> Mcdavid
Marner --> Kucherov
Nylander --> Rantanen
Tavares --> Malkin
that's who they would have to play like for us to win IMO and they aren't doing it

Flashbacks to the Zamboni driver season where Rielly and Muzzin got injured for a bit and we had Travis Dermott on the top pairing

This team wouldn't be able to win the Allen Cup.

I’m not opposed to giving Lily more reps and opportunities but he doesn’t seem like a guy who is chomping at the bit to take on a more prime role. Just the same milquetoast non defensive specialist non offensive contributor this organization churns out.

I think you'll need to outlive this core to see that.

McCabe has a better slapper , I don't mind him there.
Liljegren needs to earn back trust after letting that breakaway happen after the player left the box.

Need Kaberle to set McCabe up for the clapper on the pp lol.

The shots come from the sides now where the s% is much better. The slapshot from the point is mostly decorative now.
Plus, if Rielly is to miss 5+ games, now is the time to give Liljegren a run and basically use him much like they do with Rielly.

Liljegren has 2 PP points on the season and hasn’t proven to be especially adept or dynamic in the little time he’s received. And I’m not even referencing the islanders game screw up.
I’m not opposed to him getting more PP time for developmental purposes at all but I don’t think it’s automatic or that he’s really earned a shot.
