Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Habs: Game 4: lets hear your game 4 lineup.

[Ashdown2]

i dont think the grumpy old men should play in back to back games but who will have the balls to tell jumbo that hes going to sit a game for rest ? lol

anyhoo my projected lineup for tomorrow, also lets assume foligno is good to go

hyman - matthews - marner (status quo, i expect a huge game tomorrow)
foligno - kerfoot - nylander (gally your fired)
engvall - nash - mikh
robertson/noesen - brooks - simmonds

sit- gally (after a hot start he has pretty much shown that hes at best the 14th forward on this team over the past 2 months), ideally spezza and thortnon should get a break.


d and g stay the same.

I'm bringing in fresh bodies

Habs blew their wad in the 3rd, and they have a lot of old, broken down players

Robertson and Brooks in

Thornton and Nash out

 

[ponder]

I still wanna see Spezza get a shot on the 2nd line. If Foligno is good to go:

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Foligno - Spezza - Nylander
Engvall - Kerfoot - Mikheyev
Thornton - Nash - Simmonds

 

[Squiffy]

Does Folgino go tomorrow is a question for this question

 

[Alamo Leafer]

my game 4 lineup includes:

zero Jumbo;
no Thornton;
minus Joe; and
no-more Jumbo Joe Thornton.

 

[peconcan]

Hyman Matthews Foligno
Nylander Spezza Marner
Mikheyev Kerfoot Galchenyuk
Thornton Engvall Simmonds

Reilly Brodie
Muzzin Holl
Bogosian Sandin

Campbell

without Foligno put Galchenyuk on first line Engvall on 3rd and Nash on 4th

 

[DarkKnight]

Perfect opportunity to sit Jumbo and give a kid a chance. This was my biggest worry when we signed him, come playoffs he’s bad and we’re afraid to hurt his feeling because he came here. Keefe has to see it, that tape is ugly.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

If Foligno is not back, want to see Brooks drawing in for Nash

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Like Kerfoot at 2c and Engvall at 3c

If Foligno is good to go

Hyman Matthews Marner
Foligno Kerfoot Nylander
Mikheyev Engvall Simmonds
Thornton Brooks Spezza

 

[William Hylander]

You have to play Andersen, they might play Price but who cares. Every cup winning NHL team has had to use 2 goalies at least, have to get Andersen or Rittich some run against this trash Habs team.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Brooks in for Joe

If healthy, Foligno for Nash

 

[TML Dynasty]

Nylander Matthews Marner
Draisitel McDavid Crosby
Me McKinnon Kucherov
Kane Schiefle Rantanen

 

[Mikeyg]

Hate fred but I dont think you want jacky
Boy playing 3 in 4

 

[TheScandal89]

I think Nash most likely stays in. He hasn't done anything offensively, but he has been decent defensively and hasn't been a liability out there.

Robertson I don't see playing yet, he's pretty weak on the puck and could be a liability defensively

Brooks I could see coming in for Galchenyuk or Thornton and lines get shuffled.

Robertson won’t suit up for Toronto again this season unless it’s an emergency situation. He’s at or near the games played threshold to burn a year off his ELC

 

[zeke]

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Foligno - Kerfoot - Nylander
Mikheyev - Engvall - Spezza
Thornton - Nash - Simmonds

Willy.. we won't play Freddy tomorrow..

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nylander Matthews Marner
Draisitel McDavid Crosby
Me McKinnon Kucherov
Kane Schiefle Rantanen

You would put that over the cap.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Hes also not quite as polished as a guy like Caulfield either. The only way we see Robertson is if theres a ton of injuries.

Playoff games dont count

Playoff games dont count

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read and you should feel embarrassed for typing it. Playoff games count. A quick google search

 

[TMLeafer]

Making this the pregame thread.

A lot depends on Foligno. I'd be OK with sitting Thornton back to back.
