Which 6 players would you prefer in the bottom lines next game ?

I checked the Moneypuck site and it seems the 3d and 4th lines are a problem, and I do think a change might be needed.

Of course now the Leafs have the home advantage which might be a factor

 

[Da Mash]

Is Domi suspended already as I don’t see him on the list. ?

The 4th line has been solid even tho it lacks scoring. We wasted a 1st rd pick to solidify that line. Go figure

The 3rd line lacks defensive ability and cant score. Domi hailed as an icon now because of his OT winner but makes every line worse defensively.

What has changed ? Same thing the last several yrs. Our bottom six offer very little offensively and even more so in Berube system.

Do we win a medal for most blocked shots ? If we block 10 can they gives us a goal Please

 

[matsqq]

Domi has never been scratched when healthy(?) (can't see that coming) and he is also more talented than most of the other guys

also, he might be suspended

You can vote for up to 6 players, but you may choose fewer if you like to "tune" the stats

 

[LeafalCrusader]

McMann Holmberg Jarnkok all look like they should sit. All probably play though especially if Domi gets a suspension.

 

[banks]

I voted for Reaves.

I know it's not the right answer, and I have no reason to expect Chief will actually put him in a game. But I'm struggling to name 6 players from that list, even if you do include Domi. So why not?

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Laughton, Lorentz, and whatever the hell Berube wants.

 

[123offtheglass]

McMann - Domi - Robertson
Lorentz - Laughton - Reaves

 

[Aashir]

Everyone but mcmann, Reaves and kampf

Mcmann needs to sit a game, dude is straight cheeks

Reaves is not nhl quality

Kampf is a worse Laughton, so you could swap those two if you want

 

[notDatsyuk]

Matty and Mitch?

 

[ITM]

Suit up some black aces: Blandisi has the PIM profile we're looking for in a ronin we need and Steeves deserves a shot.

 

[TMLAM34]

I like Lorentz but he hasn’t really done much lately.

McMann - Laughton - Robertson
Holmberg - Domi - Jarnkrok

 

[LeafEgo]

McMann-Domi-Reavo would be good for Florida

 

[jaric1862]

Laughton-Kampf-Lorentz should be a line.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Like to see Laughton with some guys with more offense. Kampf can center the fourth line.

 

[likecheese]

Matthews on the third line, Marner on the fourth.

 

[likecheese]

Matty and Mitch?

Oops, beat me to it lol

McMann can def. sit one out.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Laughton-Kampf-Lorentz should be a line.

I would definitely have swapped Jarnkrok for Kampf a long time ago. Jarnkrok is deceiving. He skates hard and works but ultimately it's all stick checks and doesn't have much impact on the game. Robertson is WAY more a threat to score but I guess Berube playing it safe with Jarny. Not saying Kampf is the answer but it puts Laughton on the wing which I also like.

 

[notDatsyuk]

McMann can def. sit one out.

You have to include the to let them know you're not serious.

(Or to reduce the vitriol if you are. )

 

[Stephen]

Put Kampf in place or Jarnkrok and see if you can’t lighten the defensive load for a struggling Matthews.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

It doesn't matter how you mix and match these names.

That bottom six wouldn't scare the cowardly lion. Not one of these players listed has so much as a single goal yet these playoffs. It's a quantum leap to imagine any of them playing showtime hockey.

You can never have enough playoffs non-performers on the roster I guess.

Baby brained stuff really. The whole objective has now become about winning a second round playoffs series. Hoping and praying the team doesn't implode into irrelevance again before then.

Before the crushing reality of studs'n'duds demonstrates once and for all just how poorly this team has really been built.

Every year we hear depth isn't an issue. Given how dumb Shanahan is he probably actually believes it. In reality it's two lines with studs and the rest a puddle of slop.

A team filled with one armed sloths and only a couple players who have a clue offensively.

Robertson's only had 2 chances to

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Robertson's only had 2 chances to

He had one shot on goal in those two games... hard to score when you aren't putting the puck on net.

Not saying he wouldn't have a goal if he played more games but if he took more shots those first two he might.

 

[png57]

Jarnkrok out Robertson in: He can probably provide some offensive firepower to the bottom 6. I can't see him being a worse option than Jarnkrok.

Holmberg out Kampf in: We all know Matthews' goal count so far has been abysmal. Matthews' hasn't been bad on the PK, but putting Kampf in can help reduce his responsibilities on the PK and allow Berube to deploy him in more offensive situations to hopefully get the scoring going. Kampf is all defense no offense but it isn't like Pontus has been giving us much offense anyway.

 

[The Management]

I rooted for Robertson early in his career, but there's absolutely no chance I'd dress a cold player like that for such a crucial game, against a Florida team that's just starting to find their rhythm.

Boring though it may seem, I wouldn't scratch anyone at this point unless they're fighting through an obvious injury.

 

[Tak7]

The passion line has been getting absolutely filled in so far this series. I'd be looking to break that up heading into game 5.

I like the idea of Robertson coming back in on home ice where you can manage his spots better.

Jarnkrok for Robertson or Kampf, for me.
