If which I doubt Matthews were available.
Knies Matthews Nylander
Bertuzzi Domi Marner
Holmberg Tavares Robertson
Dewar Kampf Jarnkrok
Knies Matthews Nylander
Bertuzzi Domi Marner
Holmberg Tavares Robertson
Dewar Kampf Jarnkrok
5-2, 3x Willy, 1x Rielly, 1x Domi... The Bruins will be up 2-0 after 40 minutes.
GO LEAFS GO!!!

There’s our boy out for the morning skate….
Knies/Tavares/Nylander has played well, and so has Bert/Domi/Marner.
Matthews can still hit 20 mins a game (give him the odd offensive zone draw with one of those lines) and give the Bruins something to worry about on our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lines.

Yeah I dont agree with that personally. I think you could break up either line easily for our best player.
Im good with him going back with domi OR replacing JT. Push JT to third line with jarnkork

Those are the exact plays that should be called. A clear penalty that leads directly to a scoring chance.
You are numbering lines but any one of them can be 1st/2nd/3rd.
I'd argue any line with Matthews is the first line.
Matthews will likely be over 20 mins a night no matter what line he plays on.
Who is Boston putting out against each line if Matthews runs his line and the other two stay the same?
Should... they set the standard, I just expect them to be consistent, and that call was far from a normal call.

So we agree? It was the correct call.... and not "an even worse call" than you remember?
Yeah sorry no. Holl had every right to skate there. He never changes his trajectory. That is incidental contact every day. In fact, if anything, the Tampa player is the one turning into it.

It was 100% deliberate pick. There was no other reason for Justin Holl to skate into that ice.
Honestly if Matthews is ready, I don’t touch the top six…
Bertuzzi - Domi - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Nylander
Both lines have been flying out there. Not to mention I doubt Matthews is already back at 100%, probably close and wants to get back in the lineup due to it being the playoffs.
I would leave the fourth line Dewar, Kampf and Jarnkrok as they can be used as a shutdown line.
I would slot Matthews next to Robertson and Gregor or Holmberg. It would have been nice if McMann was ready to play with those two.

Tampa player had no ownership of that ice. Why Holl moves there is irrelevant. It’s a straight line movement, no change of trajectory. They simply moved into the same ice. If Holl had changed his route to the same result then it’s a penalty, but that wasn’t the case.

Good sign here. Might be probable for tonight.

It's time.
I wish Jankrok would provide more a little more offensively.
Not that he's a key player or anything, but he does have decent talent for a bottom six guy. He hasn't looked dangerous at all in this series. Then again, he has five career playoff goals in 92 games... ugh.
I'm just saying: this series is low-scoring and one goal from a guy like him or Connor Dewar might make all the difference.

Not sure we are scoring 5 goals in the 3rd period. Goals have been hard to come by.

It depends if you mean correct by the standards the refs apply or the rulebook.
If you mean by the rulebook, then likely yes, and if they called games like that, we'd never play 5v5.
If you mean by how the refs interpret and apply the rule book, no, it is not the correct call.
So maybe we agree.

I feel like they are going to put Auston on the fourth line and keep the top 3 lines the same, and then play him on the PP. Will be hard for Boston to line match if they have to keep an extra eye on the fourth line lol.

That would be my preference too. Keep all the chemistry of the Game 5 and 6 lines intact.

We can't even score 5 goals in two consecutive games total. We're going to have to keep to the strong defensive structure and let Woll do his thing. We don't want a barn burner in Boston just play hard and get another good road win.
Be real gud pros !
