GDT: Game #82 Boston at Toronto - Apr 29th 7pmEST

[mikeyz]

Can they bring up the entire Marlies roster and play them against the B's instead?

And please do not play Mitch and Papi just to try and get Mitch his 100pts.

We need all our regulars healthy.

I want this too but apparently they have a limited number of callups

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Please Keefe, just dress the entire Marlies team for this game.

he can't you only have so many call ups post deadline and it's not many, I think it's 3

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Still have to stay under the cap and have a limited number of call-ups. Can't just dress a dozen guys from the Marlies.

 

[therealkoho]

Leafs better have their heads up.

The Bs see the Leafs as a potential opponent, they are going to want to either get in their heads by pasting them, or cripple them by taking out some of the big dogs.

 

[Mugzy97]

Depends on if the goal is to get Marner to 100. He would need Matthews help for that

He doesn’t need his help although it wouldn’t hurt lol

 

[Cournoyer12]

This should be the most boring, half-assed game of the season. No one block a shot or throw hits

Fly-bys all game long. Look to Willy for guidance

Watch out for the RAT!!!

 

[ACC1224]

Guessing Boston will sit some guys tomorrow, some on Friday.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Rest everyone that make sense to rest. It's been a long grind.

If the team had a ring or two I can see letting them chase regular season stats, as it stands, they have yet to win a round and there is a real chance, like last seaaon: that a first round win could lead to the Finals.

Thus, full focus and preparation for the playofs begins now. They have home ice sewn up. Lose 2-1 to the Bruins and I am content.

Muzzin needs to get back into rhythm and other players like to stay warm. Others should be resting and ensuring no risk of injury. Get 100% ready physically and mentally for a hard, physical series.

There is no reward in risking injury in a meaningless game. Even if by some chance the Leafs could face the Bruins, I am still resting guys.

 

[Dayjobdave]

Game will start out sloppy and lazy and then somebody will run somebody and there will be sparks all over the place.

 

[leafsfan5]

Cassidy said his plan is to play the full roster Thursday and then see about Friday

He's likely punting this game if the matchups are decided. We'll see after tomorrow night's results

 

[Leafidelity]

Guessing Boston will sit some guys tomorrow, some on Friday.

I hope we do too

 

[blue stick]

meh, I see this game as a nothing burger. There's little at stake for either team, both will just want to avoid injury to their top guys.

 

[crump]

Watch out for the RAT!!!

 

[Mr_Fun]

Boston doesn't want to lose star players to injury, too. I think both teams end up treating this as a glorified scrimmage.

 

[Cournoyer12]

Touche! Well placed my friend.

 

[A1LeafNation]

bench everyone making over 6M.

 

[PromisedLand]

Personally, if it was up to me I'd run the below (don't care about the 2 points) - Assuming no more call ups

Forwards:
Abruzzese-Kampf-Robertson (20 odd minutes)
Clifford-Blackwell-Simmonds (20 odd mins)
Mikheyev-Tavares-Nylander (10 mins)
*******
Kerfoot-Matthews-Spezza (10 mins) rest Marner
OR
Kerfoot-Spezza-Marner (10 mins) rest Matthews


Defense:
Get about 40 mins in combination with Muzzin, Boosh, Holl, Lily

Muzz-Lily (10 mins)
Muzz-Holl (10 mins)
Muz Boosh (5 mins)
Lily Boosh (5 mins)
Lily Holl (5 mins)
Holl Boosh (5 mins)

remaining 20 mins: rest Rielly
Gio Brodie (10 mins)
Gio Lily (5 mins)

Total ice time for D-men:

Muzz: 25 mins
Lily: 25 mins
Holl: 20 to 25 mins
Boosh: 20 to 25 mins
Gio: 15 mins
Brodie: 15 mins


Kallgren (plays the whole game regardless of the amount of goals)
Campbell

Must Win game. The Boys need to win the next 17 games and call it a season.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

If Draisaitl closes the gap in goals, I could see Matthew suiting up.

 

[bax]

If Draisaitl closes the gap in goals, I could see Matthew suiting up.

They clinched second already too. Wonder if he even dresses for both of his last games or only 1. They’re in the same boat as Toronto for resting their guys too and protecting them.

 

[Coachcorner]

You gotta love dat dere sire

Matthews finna score-some-mo records tomorrow nizight sire. This here gon be hard. We gotta love life & hockey

 

[Damisoph]

Depends on if the goal is to get Marner to 100. He would need Matthews help for that

He could get that playing with JT

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

It’s three points away, I think they rest Marner. If it was just one even two points I could see it, but three points is a lot to ask.

 

[ACC1224]

It’s three points away, I think they rest Marner. If it was just one even two points I could see it, but three points is a lot to ask.

My thought as well. Neither 16 or 34 play

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Throw this game for one last shot at not playing Tampa in round 1
