Watching some of this dump and chase hockey..Leafs better be prepared. Our cycle game hasn't been sharp the past few weeks.
Bruins aren't the fastest team, so I think O'Byrne would be a useful guy to insert into the lineup? Ride their forwards into the boards, something Gardiner or Kostka might not do as well/at all.
James needs to stay in the net and wander out much less. Every time he is going to wander out behind his net to play the puck will give me a heart attack. Hold on to your butts!
So is mclaren playing tomm? I would rather have mclaren than Orr.

James isn't stupid enough to do what Quick did tonight,plus James has been getting better with puck handling
For all the talk about how valuable Bozak is to this team from people did any of you guys who feel this way watch the St.Louis - LA game tonight. Did you guys see the play of one time Leaf Alex Steen tonight? That's the gumption that I've talked about that lacks in Bozak that proves to be the main factor why Boston has effectively shut down Kessel since he came a Leaf.
If Bozak plays the way Steen played tonight (I happen to believe Bozak is just as good & talented to Steen just lacks the gumption) Kessel will give Boston fits. But if he continues to play with tunnel vision in getting the puck to Kessel as soon as he touches it that line will in fact get shut down cause he'll be feeding into the double shadow and effectively taking JVR out of it cause Bozak rarely ever looks to play a 2 man cycle game with him that leads to the line being so damn ineffective.
While the media places blame on Kessel for what's gone on vs Boston the real issue is in fact his center Bozak doesn't play with gumption to make things happen. Man I wish I was coach cause I would set out a strategy to use Kessel as decoy drawing 2 men to him as he always does vs Boston and incorporate a 2 man game between Bozak and JVR. If Bozak is as important as people believe that's exactly what needs to happen other wise all he is then is a passenger to Phill kessel. As we all know to win a championship there can't be any passengers at all.
So while everybody is glued into the Kessel vs Boston story line I suggest to pay a closer attention to the Bozak vs Boston story line cause that's the one that will lead to Kessel going off on them or not starting with just one damn primary assist to JVR would be a great help to that.
First Leafs playoffs game in a decade and I've got a monster cell bio exam the next day. Not sure if I'll be able to watch it
And thats why God invented bomb threats
