These long breaks suck but we're close enough to the game to start this thread up

They need to put a better effort in if they want to win this
I highly doubt Matthews will play.
This is what gets me.
The Leafs are a good team but if they don't start trying harder/putting in the effort they're going to get embarrassed by Boston.
Why do you think that will happen?
Everyone remembers the choke in Game 7 but no one seems to remembers how bad that Leafs team was...that shouldn't have even gone to Game 7.
Leafs were counted out against Washington as well and they played 6 coin toss games against them last year.
Playoffs are a different beast, I really don't think it matters how they are playing right now, everyone naturally gives a better effort in the playoffs unless you're slumping into the playoffs.
Trying harder?
Since Matthews has gone down the Leafs are playing 56% CF score adjusted, that's better than the best team in the league over the course of the season. They aren't getting the bounces but besides the Washington game they have played very well. Andersen has become a little leaky recently probably because of the number of games he's played.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the way the Leafs are playing right now. It could be better but they are only in a slump in the standings, they aren't playing bad.
I'm guessing you think if we shuffled the lines up we would without a doubt win?I doubt we win this game.
Just hoping that Columbus and Florida lose tonight.
not without a doubt because Pittsburgh is a good team... but we would have a much better chance at winning if we didn't have our top line of Hyman - Nylander - BrownI'm guessing you think if we shuffled the lines up we would without a doubt win?
Last game was a see saw affair that anyone could have won and its tough to predict what might happen the game as no Matthews for us and no Murray for the Pens. Jarry has looked better as of late after getting pulled against Boston.
Might turn out to be a high scoring affair if we have trouble with Malkin again.
That's likely our 3rd line.not without a doubt because Pittsburgh is a good team... but we would have a much better chance at winning if we didn't have our top line of Hyman - Nylander - Brown

Rest easy then, that's not the top line.not without a doubt because Pittsburgh is a good team... but we would have a much better chance at winning if we didn't have our top line of Hyman - Nylander - Brown
That's funny because I could've swore we won a bunch of games without Matthews in the lineup and Hyman on Nylander's line.well whatever line it is... it's not going to be good. we'd be going back to basically being a one line team again until Matthews comes back.
any line that Hyman is on is going to be bad. the only exception is if his two linemates are Matthews and Nylander because they're both so damn good that my grandma could play LW on that line and have it still be effective.
our only chance to win without Matthews is to get Nylander and Marner away from Hyman (and Komarov, Martin, etc. ) and with some skilled line mates.
