I think to ensure nobody players continues to be fresh you offer maintenance days leading up to the playoffs. We really need a deep run and I suspect if we make it deep into the playoffs we’re are gonna need the depth. Personally I don’t think Liljegren should be coming out but vets always seem to get pushed into the lineup over the kids.

OverDrive boys still acting like Lilly was a scrub until Gio. O-Dog today: “I’m watching this kid and he looks like a player, he’s not fishing the puck out of his net every 5 minutes.”

Tfw you realize that these "experts" scouting opinions are based on nothing more than who's on the ice when a goal is scored.

I imagine he's referring to those that are currently able to play.
Well Mike Johnston was able to clarify which I like when he’s on. He said Lilly gets a lot of attention because he does so many great things and it gets overshadowed by the one big mistake that ends up in the back of the net. But the proof is in the pudding the kid has proven he’s legit. He can play and be effective. Simple, even I didn’t really see it earlier but there’s no arguing it.
To be fair early on he was prone to the "big mistake" which was fairly eye catching, it had shades of Gardiner about it and as much as I loved Gards his mistakes were extremely noticable
Now the game doesn't look to fast for him, he's just cool calm and composed and nothing fazes the kid

Thank goodness Dubas did not trade him away. The kid is just starting to come into his own, and he's already a legit top 4 NHL defenceman.

It's now obvious why Coliaiacovo was such a useless D-man.
He has no clue what a good one looks like.

"Can we trade for Liljegren from the Leafs?"
"We have Liljegren at home."
The Liljegren at home:
Carlo when not injured was pretty good.
Had a bunch of good years along side Alex Pietrangelo. Injuries and Pat Quinn’s reluctance to play young guys held him back. Leafs would have been better off if we held on to him and Steen. Still a brutal deal. Carlo is very knowledgeable about the game and he does provide good insight, especially when it comes to reading the game. I find he and Corrado are very good at detailing what’s happening on the ice, especially during their D-to-D segment. He may be wrong about Liljegren but he’s actually better than other analysts and radio personalities in terms of explaining what’s happening on the ice.

Wouldn't shock me if Frankie Corrado replaces him at some point.
If we keep Gio/Lily together, and I think we should, for the other pairings it seems our options are:
Option 1:
Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Option 2:
Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Boosh
Option 3:
Rielly - Boosh
Muzzin - Brodie
Personally, I like option 3 best. Any pairing that leaves Muzzin with another bigger, slower, less talented puck handling dman (Holl or Boosh) seems like a bad call. We end up with a pairing that’s just too slow and weak in transition.
IMO, the only sensible partners for Muzzin on the Leafs are Brodie and Lily. While Boosh is a weak-ish partner for Rielly, this option does leave us with 3 strong pairs overall, and I think that’s crucial. IMO it’s more important to have strong D all game long than 1 great pair and 1 weak pair - the weak pair will get lit up.
The other option is splitting up Gio/Lily, but I’d try to avoid that, they’ve been so good together.

I was surprised to see him at 16 minutes played yesterday; seemed like him/Gio were never on the ice.
Maybe because the game was like ping pong.

After this game if they bench Liljegren what a load of crap that will be.
