DeBrusk-Krejci-Kuhlman

Backes

Chara-McAvoy
Krug-Carlo

Kampfer

Rask
Halak

This is essentially the same as Monday’s lines, with Clifton seemingly winning the epic struggle for the last defence slot over Kampfer.

#NHLBruins spares are Backes (F), Kampfer (D): Injured: Ds Moore (skating, non-contact, not practicing) and Miller (not skating): F Kuraly (skating, non-contact, not practicing, no stick).

The Leafs lines looked very familiar as well:

#Leafs lines at practice:

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Johnsson-Matthews-Kapanen
Marleau-Kadri-Nylander
Moore-Gauthier-Brown
Petan, Ennis

Rielly-Hainsey
Muzzin-Zaitsev
Gardiner-Dermott
Marincin-Rosen

Andersen
Sparks

Garret Sparks was at practice today in Toronto because Michael Hutchinson was away for personal reasons. No one has suggested that Sparks is travelling to Boston.
UPDATE! now they have:

Garret Sparks says he’s going to Boston. So that answers that.

Mike Babcock said Garret Sparks is filling in for Michael Hutchinson while he and his wife welcome their child. The 10-day program Sparks is on continues after Hutch returns.

Go Leafs Go!
Hulk smash the Brooons!!!

 

[TMLeafer]

Go Leafs Go! This is going to be a long and totally unproductive day until 7pm.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Gotta come out flying and smack them in the mouth.
I have full confidence that we'll get playoff versions of Marner and Tavares but if the Leafs are going to win, we need Matthews and Nylander to come out strong.

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[IBeL34f]

Go Leafs Go!

Not gonna be able to catch the 3rd tonight, so hopefully the good guys have this one just about wrapped up after 40 minutes.

If those GIFs of Babcock/Matthews/whoever tossing that bear could be stickied to the top of every page, that would be great.

 

[Stamkos4life]

Hopefully the boys come out charging and play like we know they can!

Feel like JT is going to have a big series for us.

The day leading up to the first playoff game of the year is always the worst.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Welp, I'm scared.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Welp, I'm scared.

LOL.

I'm not scared, just ... tense. I actually have a really good feeling about this series.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Gotta wash my Babsocks.

Go Leafs Go!

 

[MoreMogilny]

It’s mother f***ing game day!

It's 2019

on my laptop it looked like 2013 in the first image....I magnified it and I see it's 2019 now. Had to really focus to see it.

Gary Roberts picks Leafs to win series.

I know I had to look real close too....LOL

 

[ToneDog]

Gary Roberts picks Leafs to win series.

So does Gord Stellick and Feschuk. Many are slowly moving to the Leafs side. I want to see how they come out tonight before I get more confident.

 

[GLG12xx12]

Had a dream where the Leafs won 2-0. Hopefully that dream comes true tonight
