Leafs will be desperate. Play our game and don’t fall for the scrum bullshit they will likely employ to draw penalties END IT TONIGHT!!
Gives Monty an option if one of Lindholm, Carlo, and McAvoy are in the box. Wotherspoon has done well there too. I'd rather Monty not overthink and break what's not broken, and I agree that I would rather see Shattenkirk than Grzelcyk.The PK without Forbort is 10 for 11. Why roll him out at 5v5 to put him on a unit that’s been dominant?

Sorry, should have read the room and used an emoji...... Was just having some fun.It did, but I feel like the caliber of players might be a little different.
The only replacement is Gryz in for Shatty. Wonder if Shatty is banged up or if the change is a response to Toronto making a goalie changeWTF???? Monty's got a winning lineup why in the hell is he f***ing around with it now???
Fooooore !what will be Jack's final words be to the LF?
Monty has made the right choices so far. Removing Gryz, giving Wotherspoon the trust he has earned. Folding in Lohrei has been dicey at times but worth it in the end?It's a stupid game 5 lineup move again - when we're dominating them, we're going to put a previously injured player into the lineup in an elimination game. Again.
And he's not underrated. He's just not good is all.

Shatty on the Pk is not ideal…Forbort really helps there. It shouldn’t be that much of a concern, right?
Yeah, I don't like this. Would rather they keep what they currently have.For those who like to admonish that we can't always blame the coach, these are the things one can easily blame the coach for.

That said, if our biggest challenge going into tonight is that Forbert might replace Shattenkirk things aren't too bad.
We don't know who is dinged up, who is not, or anything, and at the end of the day this is not a big deal in my book.
Now that it looks like it’s Grizz and not Forbort do you feel the same way?Monty has made the right choices so far. Removing Gryz, giving Wotherspoon the trust he has earned. Folding in Lohrei has been dicey at times but worth it in the end?

This answer applies to a few responses.The PK is 13 for 14 this series! Why on earth would you want to mess with that!?
Ha! Depends on Gryz usage. If Gryz is slotting in for Shatty in the bottom pairing and replacing his 10mins? Fine. If he is slotting in on the top pair….NOPE!Now that it looks like it’s Grizz and not Forbort do you feel the same way?
This is where I’m at. Sigh.The hockey I've seen so far this series makes me think they close it out tonight.
The historical inability to do anything the easy way, coupled with my native Bostonian negativity and pessimism makes me think it will still be a long series.
I hate sports.
I didn`t realize NESN didn`t broadcast after the 1st round, crappyFooooore !
Thank GodNow that it looks like it’s Grizz and not Forbort do you feel the same way?
