Showing a lack of RH shots in the forward group. Definitely should be part of the priority if the Leafs go for a forward upgrade at some point.
60-65% of players in the NHL shoot left, having 9 out of 12 in your forward group isn't that out of line, but having another right handed shot would be a good idea especially since Holmberg, Dewar, Minten, Cowan and Grebenkin are all left handed shooters too.

Howdy Ho's !!

Interesting lineup changes to say the least. We do need to get some consistency but this seems a little radical. Let's see how it plays out.

Oh and "Matt Duchene possibly having a Hall of Fame career"... Thanks Sam Cosentino for your utter stupidity.

Normally yes. But for the first time this season they have both Petrovic and Bichsel on the roster today. Gotta keep your head up if they're both in the lineup.

Hopefully they play Petrovic a lot. Not sure I care very much about him being in.

That's fair. But now 2 of the 3 are on the same line. Not that big of a deal but should be kept in mind when shopping.

Why can't a Leafs coach stick with lines that work and don't blow them up after 4 games? Jesus Christ. No wonder we can't score in the playoffs, we never build any sustained chemistry.

Putting Reaves in over Dewer against the Stars is sheer stupidity.
The only thing I can think is that Reaves has a bone to pick with Brendan Smith? I can't think of a single other reason why we would dress him against their 4th of Bourque, Back and Blackwell

Scratch that... they have their lines in a blender. Smith and Petrovic are dressed though.
