I would be happy with that, though I do like what Schenn brings to the table and wouldn't mind putting him in over Holl. Holl was on for 3 goals for and 3 goals against yesterday lol.

I'd agree but the question was more 'what do you see them doing?' not 'what would you like to see them do?'
I see them swapping Liljgren and Schenn as the 6th/7th as the series dictates, with Schenn getting game 1.
I think most would like Holl out but do we actually think that will occur?
Those who do will find themselves in a very small group I would think.

Rielly only looks solid/good when paired with either Brodie or Liljegren. When paired with Holl, they’re a disaster together.
I think the top four should be cemented in.
McCabe - Brodie
Rielly - Liljegren

I really hope Liljegren doesn't sit. That will be a big mistake
Didn’t show up until the second, Samsonov thankfully stood on his head in the first and should have silenced some of the media members regarding if he can deal with a top notch team in the playoffs.
The players should ashamed for hanging him out to dry like that. On an encouraging note McCabe has been a beast and Liljegren has shown he should always be in the top 4. Maybe putting Rielly on the second pairing would be ideal. As for the forward group they should have the confidence that when they get ROR and JT back this team can beat any team. If Knies slides in and can find some Magic that would be amazing.

Well, that was a TOTALLY unexpected win, especially given the way they played in Vancouver and the key injuries sustained.
Samsonov held them in the game in the 1st until they all decided to play in the 2nd and 3rd. Huge shorty from Marner, and a clutch PP goal from Matthews.
Thank you all for not embarrassing your fan base this time!
Go Leafs Go!!!

If we want to get Schenn into a game, it actually makes the most sense to put him next to Rielly (liked their chemistry) and so Lilegren would either sit or slide in next to Gio and Holl sits.
Probably depends on how both are playing so it's on the players there.

ROR, McCabe, Lafferty and Acciari have all impressed in their early days with the team
Last night, McCabe and Acciari really stood out to me when and looked like they actually cared out there compared to some of our regulars. Lafferty was good too.
Hopefully bad habits from the regular Leafs don’t rub on them and it’s the other way around.

He is high event with Holl... and they have received some really bad goaltending.
Top 5 in GF and in GA per 60 as a pairing... and if they received better than .850 goaltending, they'd be a pretty darn good pairing.
That being said, our defense should be the same as it was before the TDL except McCabe is in instead of Sandin. Schenn was just a head scratching pick up unless we have no faith in Timmins as an extra on the right side, but Schenn should not be a regular guy unless we run 7 defensemen... and even then I would strongly consider Gustafsson over him.
Well chalk up da win for Sammy .. huge win for him .. i luv da competition which will drive playoff performance up a few notches in net .. 1st game this year where Sammy completely got us 2 pts .. without his 5 10 bellers in 1st period we are down MIN 3 nil and we lose da game easy
OK Murray now you need to do same .. luv it baby .. lets go
Big 2nd stars to Mitch, Willy and Lily .. Mitch just keep leading da team baby best season ever for you baby .. Willy wow playing without JT unleashed da shackles (side note team much faster and Willy plays better without JT) .. and Lily wow you stabilized Rielly freakin amazing luv it baby .. lots of positive infor for Tampa series gained by Keefer .. even realizing Holl sucked badly for all 3 goals against last night (he makes people worse like Gio last night) but a beauty of a pass to negate all da shitty defensive play for tying goal (but bottom like in playoffs Holl can't be in lineup) .. sub in Schenn for Holl and we got a 3rd pair which will work .. luv it baby .. Keefer da formula on D is set for playoff run
I need to see more but ROR and JT with someone with speed on other wing might work as 2nd line .. but JT can't be playing C any more .. thats it for him as a C in NHL

Channeling your inner Austin Powers, groovy!
You're blaming goaltending for the Rielly-Holl pair being a disaster?

Jonas "you need to put some context in those numbers"
The context argument came out when Liljegren analytics were positive. I don't remember Jonas using context into analytics before that.

They are more puzzled by the 'who' than the 'why' and concerned that it'll be the 'who' again come playoff time.
It's ok not to agree with everything the Team does.

This is da last chance for this core so Keefer will do what is right .. he really has no other choice .. BS walks performance talks .. i think D pairings are set now .. holl will be odd man out .. bottom line he just doesn't have nhl skills although he is an ok no 6/7 to have in wings .. schenn gives team what it needs to handle Tampa 4th line
