It should be a big challenge for our Leafs, hopefully they answer the bell.

I guess Timmins will be activated from LTIR?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Will be interesting to see Guentzel and Kuznetsov in their new roles. KAW~~

Would be nice if Marner was back for this one the Canes just shutout the Panthers and they are a juggernaut.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Was mind boggled last game but if Timmins plays instead of Benoit that will be the new maximum boggle

 

[AuraSphere]

No reason to put timmins there unless its temporary lybush is expected to be available for the game

 

[leafsfan5]

I’m glad Keefe realizes the last 17 games are essentially meaningless and is using them to try different line combinations

Now is the time to see what we have

Rod has the Canes dialing in their D game for the playoffs so our attention to detail and puck management will need to be sharp. A really good playoff prep game.

 

[ACC1224]

Going to be a tough test for sure although it seems like the Leafs often play well against Carolina.

 

[Maple Leaf]

carolina will be buzzing (they live in carolina)

I was concerned it could be a broken collarbone, but that sounds somewhat better. Hopefully he recovers fully and quickly.

 

[Aashir]

Looool if Timmins plays over Benoit

One dude is solid defensively and mediocre offensively

One is ok offensively and trash defensively

Benoit being snaked so hard

Can't remember the last time we had a Double D #1 PP unit in the Matthews era. Probably happened a lot the #2 unit a bunch but not the #1.

I'd definitely swap Bert and Lilly on those line

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If they are going to win tomorrow night the PP going to need to step up because 5 on 5 is going to be tight checking.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

It's a big test for Robertson, hopefully, he will take this chance like McMann did with Yarn-cock being down.

He's shown he can score and be productive so...



Also for Lily.

 

[sxvnert]

Finally Holmberg gets back on the first line where he belongs.

Capfriendly has us with 340k in cap space. Jarnkrok would have to be moved to LTIR to activate him. My guess is Boosh is just getting a day off and Timmins is filling in at practice. We'll see though.

We'll see for sure but Jarnkrok is week to week. I'd say it's very likely he's on LTIR until the playoffs.

If that happened a week ago we could have kept some assets and not had to use as retention.

Why didn’t they time their injuries like a normal team, like Vegas?

You could actually make this post with out the sarcasm emoji at this point. Picking up an injured Hertl is just the cherry on top.

 

[Burnie97]

At this point I just hope everyone is ready to go for the playoffs and everyone can stay healthy from now on.

It's going to be a tough first round no matter what.

Saturday will be a good test to get ready for what's coming.

2D PP1 makes no sense for a team with no defencemen that possess one timers. Rielly and Lil passing back and forth acts like PK help for the opponnet.

Sitting Benoit too?

Why does Keefe always arrive drunk at this point of the season.

To be fair Hertl is not on LTIR- he is counting against their Cap. Only Stone is on LTIR and Lehner who is on Robidas Island

I imagine the 2D is a response to Marner being out who is a pseudo D on the top unit.
