This has to be only mind games. I assume we will go with the same exact lineup as game 5 and 6. Johnsson and Kapanen need this kind of experience and we are invested in them past this year unlike Komarov. They have shown to be reliable players and I personally trust them more than Komarov anywhere on the ice. As for the PK: Hyman, Brown, Kapanen and Plecks are more than enough.

Expecting a big game from Matthew, Marner and Kadri

 

[Walshy7]

if Nylander is staying with pleks the other winger has to be johnsson. Otherwise you are taking away offensive opportunities in the form of johnsson AND any confidence Nylander gained form game 6 is lost when looks up to pass to plek or komarov.

 

[Damisoph]

oh yeah the backwards/upside down thing.

Guys I'm really nervous and we're 7 hours away. Go Leafs Go

 

[MattySnipes]

I believe most of the people who had their 'like' ability taken away is meant as some form of punishment from the mod team. Though I don't know why that is seen as a deterrent.

Yes, i put up an inappropriate image that said "Fahk Bahston" in red sox font lettering on the mainboard series talk. Pretty stupid on my part, but got 5 warning points and likes taken away for 30 days.

You would think so but why you'd potentially mess with the line-up after we won the last two games in a row is beyond my understanding in the first place Walshy

 

[ShaneFalco]

Maybe babs is just keeping the reporters away from Komarov and asking the same question - "How do you feel about being a healthy scratch?"
Gotta be it

 

[Damisoph]

I would love to see a patented Wes McCauley good goal call for the Leafs after a review and send the broons faithful into a tizzy.

totally agree man, preaching to the choir. Im scared about babcocks love of what komarov brings. You might as well sit Nylander if you are going to give him Plekanec and Komarov. He played really well in game 6 I thought he actually got promoted back to Matthews in the last period may of just been a one off shift, but playing him with those 2 is pointless.

playing Johnsson is a coach trying to win the game
playing komarov is a coach trying not to lose the game

well said.

 

[dangomon]

should let JVR stand there for the full two minutes

I feel like I have noticed a few shifts where he stays out a bit longer than his unit. Although may just be coincidence or circumstance.

 

[Dough72]

this game will come down to dumb luck. Whoever gets the first lucky bounce off the scansion, wins. The Komarov and Johnson talk is pointless neither of them are as important as the scansion.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Will Freddy need to steal this game ?
There have been stretches where the Leafs get hammered.
Hemmed into their own zone, for a prolonged period of time.
Freddy has bailed them out.

Will Freddy need to do that ? or will Freddy's shutout just be a bonus ??

 

[ToneDog]

To all you guys worrying about the powerplay.....we're playing in Boston....we won't be getting powerplays....

Might be a good thing if Refs don't call any penalties.

 

[SoCalJetsFan]

Jets fan here, best of luck and skill tonight. Really want you to beat the Bruins. Hoping for an all Canadian Cup final. Would be a nice (in your face) for Bettman.

Go Leafs!

A lot of plays are going to die on guys sticks with Plekanec and Komarov on a line that's for damn sure

No thanks. Rather face Nashville than the Jets

Just f***ing win.

 

[Daisy Jane]

both goalies are a combined 1-4 in Game seven
Andy is .894
Rask is .895

lol this could be interesting.

 

[Loosie]

Rogers already spent their Dropkick Murphy cannon for Game 5, you think we here it again tonight? I mean did Rogers not have faith in the Leafs or something because Game 5 was going to happen after the Leafs won Game 3, Game 7 was up in the air and would have been the perfect song to play tonight instead.

 

[MrDiddlez]

Tonight is the night we need Matthews to reach his final form

 

[TMLeafer]

I don't get this "Leo is a PK and PP player". Johnsson plays PK and is a million times more suited on the PP. Wasn't the PK a disaster in the games Leo played this series? Putting him in would be playing into the Bruins' game rather than asserting the Leafs speed game. I can appreciate his leadership, but keep him in the tunnel or something if it's needed.

That said I think Babcock is just playing with the media and us.

 

[Optimist]

Supposed to work from 3:30 until 11:00 tonight, but I'm not feeling very well. Gonna have to book it!!!
