I'd imagine Samsonov vs. Florida then give Woll the game against Tampa.

I realize this is ridiculous, but I would start Jones vs Florida and Woll vs Tampa.

 

[Nineteen67]

They will stay in Florida, party like they won a playoff round and shit the bed in game #1.

If they start Saturday it might make sense to stay.

 

[ToneDog]

If Jarnkrok and McMann aren't back for game 1 our third line is gonna be cooked

Sounded like McMann injury might keep him out, which opens the door for Robbie. Would be nice to get Krok back.

I realize this is ridiculous, but I would start Jones vs Florida and Woll vs Tampa.

Agreed, tell Sammy to take the week off and perform the same reset he did the last time he had shambles in his head.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Marner feeding Matthews for his 70th is what I want to see , don't see the problem with it some have.

Samsonov had a good last two periods against the Wings. If he cannot get shelled in his last start that would be optimal for his head space heading into game 1. We need him to stand on his head if we have any chance of advancing.

There's no guarantee for a Saturday night start because ESPN is the one who have the final say.

They better not start Sunday afternoon.

yea I agree, I don't really want to have our starter in against them and have him get blown the f*** out. If that happens I wouldn't even bother putting samsonov in net for game 1, he'd be mentally broken. We need to save him for when the playoffs start and our team hopefully cares to also play defence infront of him consistently

I remember we did the same thing in 21-22 against tampa and played Kallgren over Campbell...that score wasn't pretty but at least it wasn't campbell in net

 

[ACC1224]

I imagine the players were told to pack for at least a week.

Yes, this was confirmed some time ago by one of the beat writers. Regardless if they stay in Florida or have to travel to Boston, they are not returning home until after game 2.

If Boston wins tonight Leafs are locked in to the Panthers?

Yes !

 

[ACC1224]

Yes !

but I guess they will need all series locked in before they release a schedule

 

[JT AM da real deal]

I realize this is ridiculous, but I would start Jones vs Florida and Woll vs Tampa.

I don't think this is ridiculous at all .. to me it is da smart play .. there is a chance all be it tiny that Jones may play in playoffs and he needs to feel some game action pucks again .. either Florida or Tampa he needs to get a game in .. Sammy needs a nice reset this week for his mental health challenges as he has been playing a lot .. due to back to back then Woll gets other game .. last thing we need is to start Sammy against Cats and he has a bad game .. basically we then have to start Woll in game 1 .. this is not smart coaching 101 .. i think Keefer will be well advised if he can't figure it out on his own

Wont they know by Wednesday? Hopefully TNT has the Leafs series.

They better not start Sunday afternoon.

Saturday night is best, but Sunday afternoon is better than Saturday afternoon or Sunday night. .

ESPN can choke on a you know what.

 

[Orfieus]

AM better say under 12min (but he can have as much PP times as he wants)

FLA - Woll
TB - Murray

Gm1 : ……Murray.

*he’s been fine for a while, just needs to get up to speed.

Imagine that arc , if he returned to form. Haha


It’ll be Sammy though, unless he completely looks outa sorts this week

I hope it's Saturday night!

I hope it's Saturday night!

Any night game is best, afternoon games are terrible.

We wouldn't have cap space to play Murray before the season being over.

Florida Panthers may rest players for final game vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Tuesday | TSN

The Florida Panthers are awaiting the result of Monday's matchup between the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals before making decisions on their lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Florida Panthers are awaiting the result of Monday's matchup between the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals before making decisions on their lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Panthers head coach Paul Maurice said a full lineup will dress if the Panthers still have a chance at first place in the Atlantic Division on Tuesday. If not, two-to-three players could be rested against Toronto.

While Ilya Samsonov is expected to start in the playoffs, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed Monday that Joseph Woll will start against the Panthers in Tuesday's game. Toronto will be without wingers Bobby McMann and Max Domi due to injuries on Tuesday, with McMann also ruled out already for Wednesday's game.

Woll is starting tomorrow.

It'll be a night game. Leafs only get bumped to afternoon if there are not enough American teams still playing.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

They will stay in Florida, party like they won a playoff round and shit the bed in game #1.

I would be okay with this if their partying didn't consist of them having a Fortnite party and staying up too late.

 

[MSZ]

We don't even know which team will play the Leafs, plus NBA playoffs also starts on the same day, TD Garden and MSG will be busy hosting all those games.

Like I said ESPN will have the final say on scheduling.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We've suffered enough injuries in meaningless games up until now. Really hope nothing happens tomorrow. This is the type of game where the league should call both franchises and tell them to keep it clean.
