What happens when we are down a goal late?

[A1LeafNation]

On the rare occasion when we are down a goal..

Do we rotate the three lines as is or...does Kadri take Hyman's spot?

Marleau Matthews Nylander
Then
Kadri Tavares Marner
Repeat.

The question is how late? as is you pull your goalie and use your offensive stars

Down a goal is not such a big deal and that's what you do (pull your goalie and go with your offensive players, as is coaches shorten their bench in that situation)

Triple M to save the day ! Babs ? Drop Hyman? Not bloody likely!

Last 5 min.

Last two min could be..

Marleau Matthews Nylander
Rielly Zaitsev Johnsson

Kadri Tavares Marner
Gardiner Carrick Brown

Pull your goalie and send out Matthews-Marner-Tavares-Nylander-Kadri(or Marleau) & Reilly

Usually teams are pulling goalies with two min left, especially Babcock.

If you can't play those guys for the full two min, who do you have as the second wave of offence?

You still have so many offensive players, you still have 3 lines (how many teams have that kind of luxury) and if necessary you can shorten your bench with 2 offensive lines and you can use your top 4 "D" in that situation and bench 5th and 6th "D"

Put out Komarov

 

[Marshy]

Hyman-Kadri-Brown

Hainsey-Ozighanov

ES - Leivo


Moral (Babcock): Don't get down a goal late.

 

[LeafChief]

Try to tie and force OT. Maybe even win it before OT.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Well, that would be a good time for the Rl Gud Pros and Family Men to come out and teach the kids how its done:

Hyman - Marleau - Brown
Hainsey - Zaitsev/Rielly
McElhiny
​

In al Seriousness...

Tavares
Matthews -Kadri - Nylander
Rielly - Marner​

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Matthews-Tavares- Nylander
Reilly- Marner

We’ll likely just roll our same lines though, maybe swap Hyman with Matthews.

We lose, barring a miraculous fortune of events.

Theres the positive post we were looking for.

Tavares-Matthews-Nylander-Marner-Kadri/Marleau-Rielly

Yes please.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Last year, just keep rolling the lines. This year? I don't know. We'll see if Babs is willing to adapt his coaching to fit what the other teams are doing. No reason not to stack lines on PP's and late in the periods/games

 

[francis246]

if we are down a goal late I'd hope to see Matthews - Tavares - Marner at least thrown out once

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Since so many Leafs haters don't think the Leafs have any good Dmen.. Go with four forwards. Hyman Matthews Nylander Gardiner and Marner, Marleau Tavares Kadri Reilly and Kapanen

 

[jrgtml67]

We throw out the big guns.
