Hopefully Campbell gets it back tomorrow and the PP keeps clicking because that's a big loss, it's not a death blow but that sucks.

Thankfully their games are spaced out for the next 10 days so it shouldn't be a long-term thing

 

[Dekes For Days]

Must have been when his head got slammed into the boards.

Or as the refs call it, a normal hockey play.

A few of you may want to polish up your resumes, MLSE is hiring.

Plenty of experts here, who could do the job better.

--------------------------------------

As an aside, this is the game that we realize how important Muzzin is to us.

Be interesting to see a Sandin Liljegren 2nd pair.

highly doubt that’s happening. I suspect they will split Brodie and Rielly, especially if Holl is still out.

I’m assuming it’ll be

Rielly - Dermott
Brodie - Liljegren
Sandin - Biega

Pretty sure Leafs can win as many Cups under my reign as they did under his

I'd move Dermott over to the left side and keep Rielly-Brodie together personally.

Rielly Brodie
Sandin Liljegren
Dermott Biega

It is happening... those were the pairings at practice.

 

[ACC1224]

Guessing Rielly/Brodie will take the tougher matchups.

 

[X66]

Leafs are going to dominate the Rangers 5 on 5, they are a horrible 5 on 5 team.

Will the shooters be able to solve the goalie though.

"big hit" = charging probably

ahh I didn’t see they posted the line rushes for today. Well, I wonder who’s playing against teams top lines

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Be interesting to see a Sandin Liljegren 2nd pair.

I like them both but an all rookie pair makes me nervous

No Muzzin sucks, hopefully he comes back soon. Even though he's been struggling he leaves a hole in the lineup

Time to see if the kids can handle 2nd pair usage

or get that upgrade on D sooner than later.

 

[supermann_98]

I'm hoping the defense plays a safe and solid game because if we give up even 2 goals and Shesterkin is in a zone that may be all the Rags need. Would love to see us do to him what teams do to Campbell ... Crash the net and run him over once or twice.

Also hope the boys keep their heads up with that POS Trouba running around ... and maybe even Braden Schneider if he's got a chip on his shoulder or a bone to pick with the Leafs not selecting him where they should have.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Muzzin should just get load management for the rest of the year. Our schedule is going to eventually become ridiculous and we don't need one of our top 4D too injured to participate in the playoffs.

 

[wingman75]

This took way too long to come about... I am having withdrawl issues lol.

I am hoping for a tidier game on the defensive side of the puck. Simple.

Right, like that would ever happen...

They played well together on the 3rd pairing. We'll see how they do against tougher matchups.

I feel their strengths and weaknesses compliment each other well for a D pairing. It doesn't hurt that they're good friends as well. I definitely feel they should play together as much as possible and see what we have in them. If they're not together it should be because Lilly is getting a chance with to play with Muzz.

No Kase tomorrow I guess , he should be back for Saturday though for the Islanders tilt I assume
