GDT: Leafs @ Panthers

[therealkoho]

Muzzin in for Boosh is not a downgrade in the edge department. Unlike you , I want the best lineup.

Lube doesn't PP nor PK Holl is the #1D on the PP what don't people get about this?

 

[ACC1224]

Holl has been playing great and I am assuming gets the hardest usage (PK and ES), not sure why everyone just wants to take him out. He is playing 100x better than earlier in the season.

Doesn’t Brodie usually get the hardest usage?

The great thing about the D pairs is that they can roll the D and not worry about hard matching.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Just get the win boys along with another Matthews hatty!

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I actually have butterflies in my stomach for this game.......cuz Matthews.

We have NO business winning this game tonight, but I hope we do.

Yup. And it's not like the PK has been a liability. I like Boosh, but he's not taking those hard minutes.

LET ME SEE YOU WOBBLE!! WOBBLE!!! SHAKE IT SHAKE IT!!! DROP IT DROP IT!! TAKE IT TAKE IT!!!!!

WE THE 504 BOYZ!!! WE THE 504 BOYZ!!! : :

 

[Clark4Ever]

This is the deepest defence core we have had since the Pat Burns era. It's probably even better.

I don't mind Keefe's lineup decision for tonight as long as he rotates Lyubushkin back into the lineup down the stretch to keep him sharp. For now, Muzzin-Holl should get 3rd pairing sheltered minutes to ease Muzzin back in.

 

[zeke]

Willy in. Spezza in for Simmonds.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Sweet. The most important seal of approval - now we KNOW Keefe did the right thing.

If it was up to Carlo, Liljegren would be out of the lineup instead, so I take his opinion with a grain of salt.

Actual lines:

 

[Le Cobra]

A rib injury isn't a chronic condition.

its hard enough playing a beer league game B2B....NHL is a world of suffering on the body not to mention the groin

 

[horner]

The good thing is we will be able to rest some guys down the stretch and not lose a beat.
We have never had such great options.

 

[Coachcorner]

Tee and bone baby! TEE AND BONE BABY!!! Jigga jigga jigga TEE AND BONE BABY! WE GON BEAT UP TILL THEY DEAD AND GONE JIGGA!!!!!!!!!! : GANGSTALAND IS OURS! WE ARE HOCKEY'S MECCA! NOT THEM! US!!!

 

[Menzinger]

Yep. He's been great lately.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Because this:

Still hurts to look at

 

[CelticDruid]

I wonder how many times Muzzin will pinch deep and get caught scrambling tonight? Both Muzzin and Sandin seem to get caught out of position on a regular basis.
This hasn't happened much in their absence.

 

[zeke]

Still hurts to look at

I hope they're looking at that every single day.

 

[TheDoldrums]

I don't get Clifford still getting games, I really don't. Why is Abruzzese sitting over him?

 

[zeke]

Updated adding a now healthy Hornqvist:

 

[Coachcorner]

Willy in. Spezza in for Simmonds.

That fourh line still aaaaight sire. Hard. Blacky makes thangs happen. He aaaaight, tight. Could play a small role in the bold and the beautiful. Not many seasons, but 2-3.

Hornqvist hard sire. He a real bull out thurr. Driving errrrhtang that moves. So strong. Very tanned most often.

 

[Clark4Ever]

My only gripe is that Keefe has still not put the 3rd line back together. Nylander and Tavares have also showed glimpses of their former chemistry lately, so Willy should be on the second line.

It's tough to complain given our recent lopsided victories, but heading into the playoffs, we will need a reliable shutdown line.

 

[Le Cobra]

if i write "put Lube on the PP" will i get banned?

Our issue the past playoffs has been scoring. Shutout against the CBJ in elimination and 1 goal against the Habs. We need consistent depth scoring if our top line struggles
