Jesus Christ how many times are the lines gonna change? Give some time for them to grow some chemistry Keefe.

I like these ones better than yesterday at least

Yeah boyyyyyyyyyyy said flavor!!!! we the G'est!!! Sammy is GONE NOW yeah like you Linked. Imagine they gave him finally the wife/birth / injury vacation. They already promised him that once before lets see if THIS TIME THEY KEEP THE PROMISE. LOL. Awful coaching and management by disturping the already promised birth vacation and calling samsonov back to the team....... awfum awful awful shit.

 

[TMLAM34]

Simmonds? Lmao…

 

[Suntouchable13]

This game could get ugly too. They have to be ready, and finish their chances. We know it will probably be another 4+ by Murray. Would be nice to spoil the Panthers playoff push.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

The cool thing about the lines changing daily is as a fan, I feel like I get to watch a new team every night.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

At least these lines look more sensible. This is more or less what I would roll with in the playoffs. Except with Liljegren in and Holl out. Lily scratched due to that whiff of the puck last night I see.

 

[leafsfan5]

Maybe we can keep these lines for more than 1 game

 

[ACC1224]

It's nice that they'll get to enjoy a little hard earned time in the sun before tomorrows game.


Does Timmins not even get to practice with the Team any longer?

 

[LaPlante94]

I wish Keefe would try

McCabe-Brodie (Obvious shutdown pair)
Rielly-Liljegren ( Offensive deployment)
Gustafsson-Schenn (Sheltered pair who play opposite games as each other which might compliment each other best in a sheltered role)
Then maybe rotate that bottom pair in and out and experiment with just that pair until you find something that works in that sheltered role.

 

[stickty111]

Right decision to take Liljegren out if they go 12 and 6 tomorrow, even though I blame Keefe for his struggles and not the player.

These look like playoff options just swap ROR into 3C and Acciari for Simmonds.

D options look similar to last playoff setup as well

These aaaight. Simmonds is stunting for acciari. RoR will come to the dirty third like you said.
We would have to start keeping certain lines though together because stability and knowing each other is key in life. Many cup teams have had lines that live together for months. Even year. They play together. Grill together. Drive together. Watch films together. Wat together. And collect worms and beetles together. Thats what makes them drive hard to the end and win it all

Don't bet on it. He keeps changing them even after good performances.

 

[ToneDog]

Panthers need this one. Here's hoping M4TT MURR4Y only let's in his usual 4 goals.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Keefe has to go. No excuses for sitting Lily anymore. Time to actually pick some defensive pairings and stick with them so the guys can build a little chemistry with the playoffs right around the corner

 

[PromisedLand]

holy just checked the standings. panthers in 2nd wild card spot thats quite a climb from where they were before the TDL. they also lost the previous game so i expect them to bring their A game.

only hope is paul maurice galaxy brains more than keefe

Liljegren has been playing like shit, no problem with him sitting out. Unfortunately that applies to many other players too, who Keefe wouldn't even dream of holding accountable

Fair, though I don't think pulling guys in and out of the lineup is going to help them elevate their play. Obviously as you mentioned he just seems to not like younger defenders

 

[Niagara Bill]

Why is it that they can tell you about McMann knee injury but not Samsonov or AM or Murray. It's all bs

 

[Buds17]

The forward lines seem fine enough. Not crazy about that Rielly-Schenn pairing on the blueline though (the disparity between minutes averaged for each).

Just another Keefe putting names in a hat.
That has been done before. Leafs lost 10 in a row and won a cup.
The difference is Keefe wants you to think he is a genius, where Imlach said he didn't know what to do and called on King C to help.

Still have to see how this plays out in "practice" (the games) before passing judgement. For now, it's just an observation that stands out to me for the wrong reason (in theory).
