Keefe’s job is on the line. He has to make some ballsy moves to have a chance to win this series and maybe save his job.
#1. Play Matthews, Nylander and Marner on different lines. They all should drive their lines. You have the added bonus of Tavares on one, with Domi and Bertuzzi playing up to snuff lately. Then Knies and Holmberg(or Jarnkrok if healthy) with Marner. I think if we really want to see Marner become real factor in playoffs is make him pissed off and force him to produce for more ice time.
#2. Sit guys that aren’t playing well. Especially on defence. If they are playing through injury and not performing well, they sit. If Rielly is banged up, he should sit, he looked like crap the last game. The same with Brodie. If Edmundson looks like a pilon again, sit him.
#3 We don’t see practice and day to day mental fitness of the goalies. If he doesn’t think Woll or Sammy are up to it, get Jones in there. Maybe even Murray if he is ready. The guy has 2 cups.
