Series Talk: ECQ: Boston Bruins (3-3) Toronto Maple Leafs. GAME 7 AWAITS!

[TorMapleJays]

I have a feeling he will have a few more attempts on Gardiner stretch passes. Or Johnsson

Johnson and moore better have the game of their lives because we know they are both out of the line up come game 5.

Kappy should be on full time when Chara is out there.

 

[Mikeyg]

kappy is scoring on his next breakaway.

 

[Cor]

Komarov not skating.

 

[Walshy7]

Komarov not skating.

Yay I mean oh no I hope he is ok

 

[ShaneFalco]

 

[Cor]

I thought Kadri wasn’t allowed to skate with the team while suspended?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Komarov not skating.

Figured, was it the same knee/leg he injuried right at the end of the regular season?

 

[Eb]

I thought Kadri wasn’t allowed to skate with the team while suspended?

Nah.

 

[Cor]

Nah.

Just looked it up, it’s NFL players who aren’t allowed to practice.

 

[Cor]

Game 5 is Saturday at 8pm.

I don’t quite get the 8pm start times.

 

[Eb]

True. I think he practiced on Sunday as well with the team.

There are probably statistics that show its best for viewership.

 

[Eb]

TV.

Same reason why we have two full days off between games 3 and 4. So we can get primetime game on Saturday night.

 

[Ambassador Bridge]

National tv broadcast in the U.S. so an 8 p.m. start

Komarov could be done for the year. I know they are trying to down play his injury but I think it's serious

Not only that, how would you take out anyone now that they are in full swing? I don't see the team taking out Jhonson. He has proven to be a very good player
He just needs more experience

You can make a strong case for Brown. Right now I'll take Grundstrom over him

Brown is a big pawn for Babs to use. Lots of pk time, safety net for Bozak/Jvr, and even though the points don't come he has lots of energy and is diligent in the 50/50 battles. While Grunstrom might be intriguing, it's a playoff must-win series. Trust in a player is key.

I believe management puts alot of weight onto development on the marlies. The only situation I could see him coming up and not sitting in the press box is if more players get injured. *knock on wood*. I don't think there's anyone that comes out of the lineup currently.

 

[La Masse]

Leo’s injury could be a blessing in disguise. I dont wish any injury on a Leafs player but we are a better team with him out of the lineup

 

[Loosie]

Game 5 is Saturday at 8pm.

I don’t quite get the 8pm start times.

I believe it's NBC requesting those start times.

I'd like to see this in game 5:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-Marner
Marleau-Pleks-Kapanen
VanRyk-Bozak-Brown

 

[MyBudJT]

I'd like to see this in game 5:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-Marner
Marleau-Pleks-Kapanen
VanRyk-Bozak-Brown

In all honesty, we could switch any combination of Marner, Kapanen and Brown on those lines, and they'd still be good depth lines for us.

Leo is officially the next resident of Robidas Island

He skated two days ago but doesn't skate two days later...

 

[The Podium]

I'd like to see this in game 5:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-Marner
Marleau-Pleks-Kapanen
VanRyk-Bozak-Brown

Our advantage is, and has been depth. Babcock tried to play to Boston's strengths game 1 and 2 by have 2 prototypical shutdown lines. He was pretty much inviting the Bruins to dominate us with the Pleks and Kadri there to try to stop them. They were trying to score we were trying to defened.

I want to see something like this. Let's bring the pressure to Boston, let them worrying about defending us. Good luck with 4 lines that can burn you with speed, every one of which is a threat to score.

I hope you’re right

 

[Tak7]

some of the criticism should be directed at games ops, it's like being at a Home Depot

Game Ops has come a very long way.

Game 6 against Boston in 2013, compared to now? Its no comparison.

Back then it was like a hotel lobby. Monday night the place was electric
