This lineup against the Caps is what I expect the Leafs to look like for Game 1 of the playoffs. Holl sitting for Liljegren, and a rough energizer 4th line for when the game takes an inevitably bumpy turn. Of course that's with the assumption that Kase doesn't return, and Knies doesn't sign.
Generally agree, but I do think Spezza is in for one of Clifford or Simmonds. Seems clear to me that Knies is returning to Minnesota for another season unless unrealistic things are promised... which I don't think this organization is one to do.
As much as I want this to be our D setup... for whatever reason, Keefe likes Holl's size.

It's a weird thing I've noticed with Holl's usage is that 90% of the time he's always deployed with one of our best defensive guys - be it Muzzin or Brodie.

Unfortunately it was at the cost of having to settle for atrocious goal tending.

Keefe finally decided to scratch Holl? It shouldn't have taken this long.
Now that Toronto is facing a good team, does that mean they'll actually show up for this one? That last debacle against Buffalo is what keeps them from having home ice advantage locked down already. It also keeps them from closing out teams in elimination games. They need to have that killer instinct, mindset and effort every single game. They'll need to as they don't have the goaltending depth that other teams do to save them in a pinch.

Caps lead the NHL in Road point% by a significant margin.... they also lead the NHL in Road point% last year..... and the year before that.
This isn't going to be an easy game

lol.. Freddy DID put up seasons like that here. He had a terrible October with .700 goaltending and then played at .950sv% for months on end every year.
And then, without fail, Freddy became October Freddy the moment the games mattered. Why are we concerned that he was let go exactly? Until he wins something I don't care, because he won't. Carolina better hope to avoid game 7's
We didn't settle for atrocious goaltending. We got atrocious goaltending for a stretch from goaltenders playing well below their capabilities.

I won't get too excited about Holl being scratched.

This fanbase has short term memory, I swear. Can we also take their coaching, defensive strategy and defence?
It was inevitable Holl was going to get a game off after that pathetic showing he put on last game.I won't get too excited about Holl being scratched.
Is there a reason why don't want to try Brodie and Giordano together? They were a damn good pair at one point.
Watch the Leafs and then watch Jays in 30.
Habs fan here, I think if soupy plays like he did last spring you guys will be in pretty good shape! Maybe in the off season a PTO for Dubnyk might be in order. Big guys deserves a shot, nothing to lose in my opinion. Just sayin
Holl can play for most teams in a 6th/7th role IF IF IF he plays a VERY simple defensive game .. his main issue outside of AHL skating, which is a big issue, is he gets to thinking he can be Bobby Orr in his playmaking and then we get in a dump load of issues in our own end .. he would be smart to play a very simple up da boards and out kinda game and then learn to use his size to stop cycles and clear da net front .. IF IF IF he focuses on changing his game he could play another 5 years in league BUT my guess is he will be completely gone from league after his contract ends as he can't seem to stop himself

Definitely a flip back and forth night. Generational goal scorer or generational hitter? How cool is it to have 2 of the very best in their sport right here in TO? Good fun indeed. Vladdy put up 3 last night, hope Matty was watching.
This quite frankly is da only upside to not be at Scotiabank arena tonight .. OMG so many people I know getting Omicron now it is crazy .. but good news it seems to be much more mild then what I hadDefinitely a flip back and forth night.

They were a darn fine pairing on the Calgary Flames in the past, and have good history and chemistry together.
