Honestly Bruce is doing a lot of this losing stuff to himself. When your blue line is this thin you go with the players who are actually playing well...i.e. Play Burroughs.
Well he could...play Burroughs... That would be a non desperate move that actually increases the team's chance of winning.Totally shades of Burke-Keenan. It’s surreal to watch this unfold - it basically feels like waiting for the axe to fall at this point.
Patterson’s comment about Martin starting is curious. Do we think Martin gets the start tomorrow? That would certainly be a balls on the table move by a desperate coach on a national stage.
Agreed. On the right side Burroughs, Bear, and Schenn have all been better than Myers. Myers should get a "maintenance" day.Wish they'd just do Rathbone - Burroughs as the 3rd pair for like 3 games to see if something clicks.
At this point you have to live with the growing pains with Rathbone. It's not like Stillman is any better.
Or call up Wolanin, but it seems there's no interest in that given Brisebois was called up first.
Booooooo! Start the kid Keefe! You coward!
I don't see why Martin starting tonight (if he does) is even a story. They have a back-to-back, so each guy is going to play anyway. Martin played the first half of the last back-to-back so for timing/rest purposes, it makes sense to play him today. Then add in he's from Ontario while Demko played in Boston.
Just media making a story out of nothing, acting like playing on HNIC is some insanely important thing.

Exactly. The simple explanation is that Boston is the better team and they want their best goalie against them. Toronto Media “HOW DARE YOU NOT PRIORITIZE THE MAPLE LEAFS!”
I have no idea what the defence will look like given Hughes missed the optional skate and and the practice lines earlier were very different.
Demko, our franchise goalie.... currently isnt our #1 goalie..If he was , he would be playing tonight.I don't see why Martin starting tonight (if he does) is even a story.

They play the top Bruins squad tomorrow? I agree he's not the best guy currently but he's still our #1and will eventually get it sorted. And Martin is playing in his hometown essentially so it's not that big a storyDemko, our franchise goalie currently.. isnt our #1 goalie..If he was , he would be playing tonight.
Thats a story.

Thats a legit story.
Personally, I think people are making a bigger fuss over who's going to play on the LHD of the 3rd pairing D...This team has way bigger fish to fry than than that.
