This will be a generally non-physical game that probably ends a higher score than both coaches would like, which should be good for Matthews and Kucherov.

There will be a gentlemans agreement since neither team has anything at stake and they dont face each other in R1. Both can save their stars by not overworking them, nor having them sustain an injury. Even the tough players will play a softer brand per coaches orders.

Jones is starting, and to no surprise, Matthews is playing.

 

[SprDaVE]

Boosh is an awful player. No rest is going to change that

He was pretty solid soon after acquired. He got banged up pretty good 3 or so weeks ago and he's been struggling since. I think he can be an ok mobile aggressive player, but his ability with the puck is scary bad. This is why we desperately need Liljegren and McCabe healthy in this lineup.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Sorry. Having shit the bed last night against a potential playoff opponent, I could care less about Matthews getting 70 anymore.

Hard to look forward to Saturday with all the injuries, and our goalies unable to stop a beach ball recently.

[wingman75]

Fully in agreement with this based on player availability.

Rielly was horiawful last night.

This might be the worst 6 we could play as a group tonight.. hehehe good times.

 

[Metroid]

Matthews may hit 80 goals tonight ;-)

 

[PanniniClaus]

Jones starting is the right call.

Samsonov is playing game 1... Woll played last night.

Right. The whole season of work is meaningless because they played poor last night for a period.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

After the joke that was last night I could care less about this chase for 70.

 

[hfman]

For hockey histories sake, It would be great to see Matthews 70th and Kuch's 100 assist in the final game.

Something more likely than not we will never see again

Kuch will get his 100th and Matthews will stay stuck at 69, book it


cause that's how it always go for T.O.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Over under on a Leaf looking Matthew’s off and scoring the empty netter. lol

We got the Matchup that Corporate wanted. Big money to be made BOS v TOR.

 

[SprDaVE]

I hope Liljegren plays 21+ minutes tonight. He needs to get into it and good.

Looking forward to seeing him man PP1 again

Don't laugh, Kucherov might finish the game with 105 assists...

 

[LeafalCrusader]

So something like

Brodie Liljegren
Benoit Timmins
Gio Boosh

9-8 game?

 

[thewave]

Burn em out for 70. Lets see how it goes

So something like

Brodie Liljegren

Brutal lineup

 

[Metroid]

I winked, not laughed!

Matthews better get his 70th tonight after Keefe sat him during a 3-minute empty net sequence against Jersey for Kampf. That would be the crown jewel on Keefe's list of idiot decisions.

I here ya, and I somewhat feel the same about our Leafs chances in the playoffs.

However, I would prefer that Matthews at least gets his 70th goal to set the bar high for Bedard.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

I didn't know Don Cherry had an account here!

That would actually be an honour we should all savour.

Exactly !!! Another way that proves that Keefe is a complete moron IMHO.
