Had it not been for Bostons goaltender making some ridiculous saves, Robertson could have a few goals.
He’s not going to live up to the D+1 hype of a superstar, but he can easily be a great middle six scorer who’s game translates in the playoffs

Not showing much? I mean, he was 47th in the league for forwards in goal/60. (Out of 480) I thought he played very well last game.
He was excellent in limited time, and should be a roster fixture starting next year.
If he's not playing and Robertson was the "placeholder" for AM instead of working with his regular line then Keefe is dumber that we thought.

He got robbed a couple times already and has been making pretty solid plays in the neutral zone. Playing a safe game. It's hard to have an impact with the low minutes he gets but his line has done very well 5 on 5. I don't think I recall one terrible shift where they got destroyed in shot attempts.
I can see that line being a sneaky line if they stick together one more time tonight.

No.
He's been given what - 7 minutes of ice time? In both games he almost scored. Got absolutely robbed in game 2

His approach to defensive play has improved, that's a big step in his development.

Not me - for a guy who came into this season with just 80 games of professional experience, I'm happy with the way Robertson is developing. He continues to trend in the right direction - his play without the puck needs work, as he's a bit of a gascan in his own zone.
But he's a relentless hound. Keeps going, and never stops. He's also got some offensive talent, which seems to be squeezing itself to the fore.
All in all, happy with where Robertson's development is at. I think the disappointment from some may come over excessive and unfair expectations put on him. His ceiling seems to be a middle 6 guy, and he's trending towards that. I'd be ensuring he's penciled into a regular roster spot next season if I'm Treliving, to really see how he can progress.

Him taking line rushes in Robertson's spot suggested he's playing
Him staying out late with scratches after practices, while Robertson did not, suggests he isn't
Those 2 things definitely conflict.

Doubt Nylander comes back this playoffs. Just relax no need for all this I'm going to go for a skate and see how I feel song and dance.

Now that Keefe has the last change, I wonder how that will affect the Tavares line.
Boston seemed to be happy putting the Pastrnak line against them. Do we do the same, or try to get easier matchups to maybe get Mitch and JT producing? The problem with matching them against say the third line is that, while JT may be better against the slower players and can handle the more physical end, can Mitch?

I meant that it's not like we have one outlet saying he's in and one outlet saying he's out - we know definitively he's a game time decision. The guy said there are 'so many reports' which to me sounded like he was reading different updates from different sources.

To be fair, Mark Masters did go ahead and say 'Likely not playing tonight' while Siegel made it sound like he was in based off line rushes. This was before Keefe made his 'possibility' statement. Amateur reporting overall

Only pay attention to what the Leafs say.
Reports are just that. Reports. It's a reporters guess. They have no idea.

I have my league finals tonight. As often happens, I'll be recording the game and watching it later "the good Lord winnin' and the creek don't rise".

They're giving their opinions in a tweet. It's a guess. It's not amateur, it's literally their job.
I thought he's looked pretty good in limited time.
His issue is defensively he needs to be more reliable, and after that I think he will be a permanent part of the lineup.
Motor and skill is there.
I think he has shown plenty.
