I want to see the reaction on the board afterwards, I'm sure it would be highly amusing
Nah... Gauthier would probably drive more people nuts.

I thought we were talking about regular season, but you are right about that game.Looks like it was Kadri ?
Coughed up the puck and ottawa scored
If Babcock line matches with this lineup......I'll be calling for his head. Pure stupidity. With a lineup like this, you take the reins and force other teams to match up with the Leafs, not the other way around. Other teams will be jumping for joy if Babcock tries to line match.
Has he proven that? I don't believe he has. I believe that is the narrative created for him that has been repeated so much that no one questions it, when they should be....I don't get it.
Kadri has proven he can shut down top lines....
So what exactly is your problem with Matthews, Tavares, Marner & Nylander chewing on 2nd/3rd lines all year?

Toronto Maple Leafs: Is Nazem Kadri a Good Defensive Player?
Roll the lines and let the other team worry about trying to match up with the Leafs. Do you want Kadri to play 21-22 minutes against McDavid just to try to "shut him down" while Tavares and Matthews are on for 15-16 minutes tops? How dumb is that? That just means that Babcock got brutally outcoached and should be fired for incompetence.
predicting a 5-2 win in which Naz has the first goal!
on the first shift
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Matthews-Ennis
Leivo-Kadri-Brown
Johnsson-Lindholm-Kapanen
Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Ozhiganov
FYI, I believe plecanec is a healthy scratchOT: I love that we have two all-Ontario lines.
Normally, I would say it would be Kadri as Babs will be matching him against Montreal's top line but I have a feeling Montreal will put out Plekanec first to match against our top line in which case I like the Matthews line to matchup against Plek's.
Then, I like Tavares to match up against their rookie Kotkaniemi who will likely get eatin up against our vet and Marner.
Then, I like the Kadri - Domi head to head matchup assuming Domi is still pretending to play the part of being a C.
Correct. Just saw that myself and I didn't realize Danault is their 2nd line C.FYI, I believe plecanec is a healthy scratch
Babcock will play Kadri as an FU to the mediaIt's meaningless and I imagine it's Tavares, new guys tend to start.
Unless it's Kadri as a match up.
