Finally. Not that I have any issue with Martin, but they don't need a 4th line.

 

[1specter]

Bump down Komarov and that's a pretty solid line-up.

I imagine Martin is probably banged up though? Babs loves him and wouldn't just scratch him for no reason. Martin has actually played well all things considered.

I like those lines, but Bozak should be on the 4th line, not Marleau. Then again poor Brown in that case. Ah hell they're fine.

Oh yeah, for the love of... get Komarov off the second line Babs!

I like these lines but apart from the Matthews line all three are interchangeable.

Let's not worry about whose on what line in the bottom 9. Any of those combinations are a significant upgrade over most 4th lines.

 

[tom leafers]

I dont know why but it feels like we always lose to carolina

 

[Buds17]

Assuming no injuries, I'm certainly not unhappy with the fact that we have the depth to be able to do these kinds of things. Hopefully we snap our mini-skid.

 

[zeke]

Honestly I'd be happy to see this 12 guys in the lineup every game, but with a line shuffle every 5gms or so.

 

[Mugzy97]

If it was up to me..

Marleau-Matthews-Marner
JvR-Nylander-Leivo
Soshnikov-Kadri-Brown
Komarov-Bozak-Hyman

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We're IN Carolina eh?

Getting f***ed by the refs is a given then.

 

[FlareKnight]

I just hope the Leafs read the schedule and find out they are playing this game before the second period.

 

[MJ65]

The slow starts have cost us valuable points - the team need to play 60 minutes, you can't take time off in this league and let opponents dictate their will. I would like to see Brown on Kadri's line

 

[White Shadow]

If this works and Martin remains out of the lineup for an extended time, I would expect to see Kapanen back playing on that 4th line LW.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Try matching lines now home teams

 

[taurine330]

Canes offense is buzzing. We need to play full 60 mins in order to win this one.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Not getting my hopes up . Babcock has trolled us before with line up moves like this.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Omg martin healthy scratched? It happened. Wow.

So I'm guessing sosh and leivo in tomorrow.

But brown back on the fourth lol. Keep the brown kadri leo line.

Martin had maintainance day lol

Oh man.......

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Is this real life? Next thing he's going to tell us Hyman's not flanking Matthews' wing.

 

[Rayzorexe]

I don't have any expectations for this game. Feels like this could go 3 - 1 either way

 

[Menzinger]

Babcock not happy with Martin eh?

 

[PromisedLand]

Babcock not happy with Martin eh?

I am just curious if Babs asked Martin not to drop gloves and play; Martin does and gets scratched
