Maybe you're right. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if it's the case. But if Plekanec doesn't play ad DLR really does take his spot, what does that do for the team to help them win, which is what they need more than anything right now?
Again, that DLR line will be used in tough defensive situations IMO, and DLR can take it, will that help Chucky break out?

The one bright spot I see is the Leafs defense doesn't look too good. Outside of Reilly, Gardiner, and Zaitsev, the rest aren't too great. Hainsey on the top line did give me a chuckle though :laugh:
Hainsey seems like he's guaranteed to have a good defensive game. Zaitsev has been somewhat reliable. Reilly and Gardiner are complete roll of the dice. The bottom of Carrick/Rosen/Borgman is a collection of mistakes. This is a blueline that can't handle traffic in front of their own end, get puck watching, but can generate offense. The Leafs can beat themselves better then the opposition if that makes any sense.

Since the Habs are mostly a perimeter team this isn't something they likely have to deal with tonight then.

Nice little promo for GSP and the UFC. Been hard to get behind this team this year, haven't watched much, just not much to like. Trying to be patient... maybe new coach, new system, new players will take time to gel... but far from optimistic.
