Series Talk: Leafs vs Bruins - 'ah shit here we go again' edition -- Full schedule post #933

[1specter]

Jarnkrok isn't playing. They have him on PP1 and Willy's spot because he is a right shot.

Logically what you're saying makes sense, but I can't imagine Jarnkrok would be taking part in full practice if he wasn't healthy, and if he is healthy there's no way he sits IMO. The coaching staff loves his two way game and versatility, and Keefe doesn't really trust Robertson still, so there's no way he'd play him over Calle IMO. Guess we'll see tomorrow

 

[Torontonian]

Well, off oi a surprising start not having Nylander at practice. Hopefully mataince day for him and we can see him filling in for Robertson tomorrow night

Despite Babs being a scum of the earth human (by all accounts), he knew what he was doing and understood these players better than anyone else.

Holl, Hyman, M+M together and there are probably some other examples. Great hockey mind from another era.

Not a great person, but he definitely had a great hockey mind. Too bad about he is a psycho, or a sociopath.

Yup. If he wasn't an egomaniac he might still have a job in the NHL.

I hope so. I think Jarnkrok provides something we lack in our forwards which is defensive awareness and pk ability. He would be a welcome addition. Robertson will get his crack and we know he gets hungry so maybe it's a win win if Jarnkrok can go tomorrow! A line with Robertson and Willy on it sounds kind of scary in the D zone.

Ya Willie it's probably maintenance or rest. Not worries there.

I keep hoping for glimmer of McMann though. For me he is a big part of the forward group now. We've been needing guys like him against Bruins.

 

[MagicalRazor]

Any news on Nylander ? hopefully it’s personal issues and not injury related

Doesn't looks good for McMann playing tomorrow all we can do is hope and pray for him. Crossing my fingers for game 2.

Yeah agreed. Jarnkrok has been excellent this year when healthy.

Looking forward to seeing how Domi plays. He signed with this team to win as a Leaf , his childhood team, not for a huge contract. Before his injury (probably hands from pummelling that guy) that first line was magic. My only hope is he plays with that passion but doesn’t pull a Kadri or a Dad and turn the series in a wrong direction.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Maybe Tampa beats Florida?

It wouldn’t surprise me. Vasi can be as tough as they come to score against when he’s on top of his game. The skaters may have less skill than previous seasons but they still have balls and will.

Last series win against Boston: 1959
Last SC win: 1967, 57 years ago

My dad was born in 59, my mom in 57... Can't be a coincidence!

Would be pretty strange to give a player a maintenance day before starting a playoff series where you don’t get another practice until probably before Game 4.

 

[willmma]

Bruins in 5

Unfortunately I agree

That's incredible numerical gymnastics there.

FTR I hope you're right.

 

[AustonMarner]

Leafs in 6

Martin Biron is the worst analyst on TSN by far lol

The worst part is that I really started to beleaf in things like that... Let's hope the boys won't disappoint us (again).

He just played a dozen maintenance games. He can't possibly be tired...

 

[DarkKnight]

LOVED Domi presser today, he’s all business!

The reporters are unprepared. Most of these questions are a complete waste of time?

 

[Canadian Finn]

Finally a reason to update my Avatar.

He's a beaut - even though he isn't a Finn!

 

[Rob Brown]

Love this guy.
