Do we know if Wes is being deployed to f*** the Leafs in this one or is the league holding that bomb for a game 7?

Holl needs to sit not just because of his performance but also just a basic reset mentally. Maybe a game or two off will get him back to some resemblance of playing his position again

I will be at my father in law's 75th birthday bash at a restaurant tonight so I'll be checking in on the game from time to time on my Rogers Ignite TV app on my phone. It might be a good omen though. I've been at various family functions over the years for the following memorable Toronto sports moments:

1992 - Alomar hits a game winning home run against Oakland in game 4 to spur the Jays onto a series victory and their first ever World Series victory
1993 - Borschevsky's OT winner vs Detroit in game 7
2001 - Raptors beat Knicks in game 5 to clinch their first ever playoff series victory
2009 - Toronto FC pull off a miraculous 6-1 victory in Montreal to clinch their first ever trophy in the Canadian Championship based on goal differential
2019 - Raptors beat the Sixers in OT game 7 to clinch the series en route to their first ever NBA championship

Here's hoping history repeats itself tonight!

There's no way you don't play Liljegren tonight. Leafs need a shake up on defense. Glad there's a good indication that he'll play.

I'll be pessimistic here that I don't think the Leafs can get over the hump. They aren't playing good at all and Vasi won't give up 4 goals a game every game. My only hope is that changing up the D significantly will improve their chances and they have typically always bounced back very well after a loss or bad performance.

Man I hate to say it but this series is already over.

Sammy has been okay or poor this series and Vasey has returned to his old self.

We’re not gonna score more than 2 goals in game 6 or 7.

Wish Murray wasn’t injured and Holl wasn’t playing, but it is what it is

Murray, really? The only semblance of intelligence here is Holl being out.

The game hasn't even been played, yet, I get that the PTSD is strong, but this is a new team and a new year.

Do we know for sure that holl is out and lilly is in

No. Only know Holl took the optional skate (he doesn't when he plays) and that Liljegren didn't skate (he always skates when he's not playing).

My only guess is that Giordano and Knies are game time decisions as well. I don't think anybody else is injured.
