Injuries are often exploited in the playoffs by opponents in a series.
Bozak should expect extra contact as a result, once he returns. If he is not 100% he could easily be sidelined again as a result.

Personally, I like it, specifically having Orr in there to set a tone. I hope Randy sticks with this, Frattin in could be huge as he's a strong boy, decent on the forecheck.Edit: ^^ Dammit - exact same time.

i think those lines are an attempt to get Grabovski going. show some faith in him (and do so using players with who he's had chemistry in the past)

Going into Boston to start a series is going to be tough. Regardless of how they have played lately. You might be able to get off to a quick start, but I don't expect Boston to be the same team they have been over the last few weeks for too long. We might be able to steal the first game, or period, but I expect them to wake up from their slumber. Lots of experience over there. Hoping to just keep it close and hopefully Rask will fall apart and fall down while throwing his stick again
All in all its just valuable experience for most of the team. Even if they have played post season in other leagues, it can't compare to a first round NHL series. Luckily we have. Coach who has won it all and knows what it takes, he has the team buying in for the regular season, lets see if they take the next step. Very excited to see who ups their game. Does Kulemin become a playoff beast, Grabovski find his energy again. Who wants the stage and do it in Carlyle's system.
9 years was too long.

I don't think I'm supposed to cross-post from other boards, but this is useful info and he deserves credit for posting it, right?

Kadri has had success with both Frattin and MacArthur so I can see that reasoning.
Grabo being handed a golden opportunity, we know he can play well with Kulemin, having Lupul there upgrades the old Mac and the USSR line.
Like it.

I just hope we don't spread the scoring too much where the lines are too weak to score. But scoring is spread out pretty nicely. Kadri seemed to have chemistry with everyone in the first half of the season including those two. Lupul may help Grabovski get going (hopefully). And the top line is still the same.
Damnit
I hate Costco. I hope he's not going to be a liability like 95% of the time.Gardiner-ROB probably means that both are healthy scratches.
Why can't we have ROB in the line up instead..

It looks like RC is trying to spread the offense 3 lines deep to counter Chara playing 30 mins a game.

All I hear on this site is how Dougie Hamilton is the second coming of Bobby Orr. How could he not be playing?

Perhaps there were some lepers that needed healing, or water that needed to be changed to wine.

Has to be a throw off, right? No Peverley or Hamilton?
But wait, Kostus is in?
Ryan O'Byrne is a worse option with his huge size? Gimme a ****in break Randy

I hope that the Leafs can at least make this series interesting. With the piss-poor performances that we have seen over the last 5-8 games it is questionable whether or not they can pull this one off.
While I understand that the Bruins are not playing their best hockey either, the Leafs will need to come up with a performance better than they have been over the last two weeks or so to get even one win against the B's.
Keys to success will be to take more shots, spend some time in the offensive zone, and try to limit the top lines defensive zone time.
Reimer is going to need to be huge, and the big boys gotta come out fists first.
tl;dr Leafs need to be better than last performance, More offence, Less Defensive time for the top line, reimer needs to come up big.

Appears so. I know its a bit confusing. Reading the board yesterday, I thought he was in a coma, sporting a full body cast.
