Meh the 3 game set against Edmonton is most pressing right now and Andy needs to be healthy down the stretch, so get him feeling good.

 

[Morbo]

does this mean Hutchinson vs. McDavid on Saturday?

good god

 

[Critical13]

This reply cracked me up:

 

[CanadasTeam]

Galchenyuk’s first practice with the main group.

Marincin also spotted at practice.

 

[tmlfan98]

Nylander-Matthews-Petan
Kerfoot-Tavares-Marner
Vesey-Engvall-Mikheyev
Galchenyuk-Boyd-Spezza

We need Marner to get JT going and 2 lines that are scoring threats.

Jebus those injuries are adding up and yet they don't scare me for some reason.

 

[LeafsFan89]

My only gripe - I hate Marincin. More than Jeff Finger. More than Corey Cross. Holy.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Kerfoot - Matthews - Marner
Nylander - Tavares - Spezza
Galchenyuk - Engvall - Mikheyev
Vesey - Boyd - Sabbourin

Brodie - Holl
Rielly - Bogosian
Dermott - Marincin

 

[stickty111]

Kerfoot - Matthews - Marner
Nylander - Tavares - Spezza
Galchenyuk - Engvall - Mikheyev
Vesey - Boyd - Sabbourin

Nice to have an unplayable 4th line.

 

[stickty111]

And there goes the stacked PP unit. Why is Vesey there? Keefe you are confusing me here

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Vesey and Boyd on the powerplay gonna be a no from me dog. Absolutely not.

 

[Cor]

At 5v5, I do agree.

However, he is useful on the PK, and that is a need. Possible we go 7D for that purpose.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Kerfoot - Matthews - Marner
Nylander - Tavares - Spezza
Galchenyuk - Engvall - Mikheyev
Vesey - Boyd - Sabbourin

Brodie - Holl
Rielly - Bogosian
Dermott - Marincin

My lineup prediction:

Kerfoot-Matthews-Marner
Mikheyev-Tavares-Nylander
Galchenyuk-Engvall-Vesey
Barabanov-Boyd-Spezza

Rielly-Brodie
Dermott-Holl
Lehtonen-Bogosian

Hutchinson

Edit: Well it sounds like we're not going to rush him --so no Galy yet.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He has had success in the net front role. Surprised it has not happened earlier.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Fly Robertson in and play him tomorrow.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's really weird that the solution to the Leafs forward depth getting decimated is to increase Vesey's role

 

[Golden_Jet]

Fly Robertson in and play him tomorrow.

Not allowed under covid rules, I don’t think, also then someone from taxi squad would need to fly home.

Edit: why does he have to fly in, if games in Toronto.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Galchenyuk Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander
Vesey Engvall Mikheyev
Petan Spezza Boyd

Rielly Brodie
Dermott Bogosian
Lehtonen Holl

Let's see what Gally can do being propped up by the super 2.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Because the Marlies are in Calgary.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Ya the Vesey obsession is weird

 

[LeafGrief]

Get Robertson in there. Farting around with Galchenyuk or Vesey higher in the lineup is a no from me, dawg.

I think the boys will bounce back just fine. The legs were moving last night, they just weren't sharp. A good bounce instead of three posts and we'll get the W. Only real concern is getting the second line rolling, the PP will sort itself out.

 

[sxvnert]

Time to put Willy on the top line LW while Thorntons out.

Nylander Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Mik
Petan Spezza Boyd
Barabanov Engvall Vesey

 

[MSZ]

My only gripe - I hate Marincin. More than Jeff Finger. More than Corey Cross. Holy.

You hate Corey Cross? That dude scored an OT winner in a playoff game and the Leafs went on and win the series.

 

[genk]

Of f***ing course Sandin is injured the moment he would get an opportunity play. This team is cursed.
