Let's see if they can make it 5 in a row.
Woll should get the net back for this one.

Has the team practiced yet today?

Philly is really bad and Torts always looks like he is in physical pain to me based on his facial expressions on the bench.

 

[weems]

I think it's a pretty good bet that Reaves will be playing in this game.

 

[ACC1224]

I think it's a pretty good bet that Reaves will be playing in this game.

I was surprised when they didn't play all 3 of the scratches last night on the back to back.
Sit Robertson and move Dewar up?

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Woll in net I’m guessing

Need nylander and Tavares to get their heads out of their asses

Some 3rd line scoring would be nice.

I would love to see a Benoit bomb into the net.

At least JT got a freebie assist on the OT winner last night. Willy has been struggling big time since mid December.

 

[Mitch nylander]

I'd switch up lines 2 & 3 for tonight to get JT and Nylander going. Draw in Reaves for Hathaway. Give Holmberg a game, it's been a while.

Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Domi - Nylander
Pacioretty - Tavares - Lorentz
Holmberg - Kampf - Reaves
Extras: Robertson, Dewar

They should be broken up.

I like these lines for tomorrow. I hesitate to break up the 4th line, they’ve been solid but let’s see if Reaves finally understands what his role is (hint:it’s not to score goals and provide offence). Robertson needs a rest. I don’t think Berube trusts him. His TOI last night was only 8:44. Dewar has been playing well but I don’t mind Holmberg on the 4th line him.

Should have kneed him in the head instead, that's apparently within the rules

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Deserved. Imagine if Domi did that in the playoffs. Tie Domi stupidity against NJ comes to mind.

 

[ACC1224]

Was there no practice today? No updates of any kind?

 

[HogTown06]

Excited for this one.

Hope McCabe is okay (and back if possible).

[Fogelhund]

So... an Upper Body Injury for McCabe... Day to Day. (Ya.. he got a Concussion, and who knows how long that will take)

 

[Jojalu]

Awful news.

He and Tanev have been so good.

Rouse/Lefevbre good.

There has probably been other pairings but they came to mind first

Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Domi - Nylander
Pacioretty - Tavares - Lorentz
Holmberg - Kampf - Reaves

Or trade for Hathaway and waive Reaves.
Hathaway with Lorentz on the 4th line would be an awesome playoff line that can handle the Panthers

 

[Magic Man]

I don't want to see Holmberg in again unless they have to use him. He's useless at this level.

I actually really like Lorentz - Kampf - Dewar as a 4th line. They are defensively responsible and physical. If Reaves were to act like Olivier and be an effective enforcer he would be a challenger for a role there. But, until that happens I really like that cast on the 4th line.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

The first and fourth lines look good. Middle six looks awful. Not sure if you mix things up or leave them and hope that the guys that are struggling figure it out.

Sure. I’m in for that.

But in the meantime leafs should dress Reaves and see if Hathaway wants to fight. I doubt it. And if he doesn’t…patches or Domi or whoever can kinda sorta run the Philly goalie lol

That’ll start a brouhaha and the leafs can take it as a way to learn how to stick up for each other and stick together.

Anything to prep them for the playoffs helps

Dewar with a near open net the other game and he couldn't get it 2 feet above the ice.

Needs the get one off his butt or something.

He's in this Centers for Rocket and Art Ross race:

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Colorado did Toronto a BIG favour tonight beating Florida 3-1.

Toronto has a chance to open up a 6 point lead in the Atlantic if they can beat Philadelphia tomorrow, they can also tie Washington for top spot in the east.

a win tomorrow would be HUGE

DOPS response to leafs asking if they looked at the Hathaway incident….

 

[Schennanigans]

Montreal is red hot right now. Maybe Montreal in the 1st round. Who seen that coming as a possibility. A win tomorrow would be big. Don’t think we ever had a 6 point lead on the division in a long time.
