If given strict instructions, Prust does not have to fight. They can try to antagonize all game, but if we just play solid hockey and get a nice lead, we can skate away from every scrum and they can suck it. After Celine declined Prust when it didn't matter (in terms of playoffs just starting), they can chirp all they want, but they know that us winning on the scoreboard does not bode well for them as they will possibly be playing the Caps or Boston.
I'd rather they **** their pants after chirping about how Prust didn't fight. They'll soon forget it. As long as the team plays mentally strong and dusts everything off their shoulder, they don't have to engage. I hope MT is telling them this. There is QUITE a lot on the line for the laffs so if they try to goon, they will be jeopardizing their playoff situation.
Get a lead early, build on it and if it's 3-0 by the third period, wow, we'll be in great shape and leaf fans will be panicking like hell. BTW I'm fine with Prust sitting for someone like white or dumont or moen. Just the rest of the team - don't engage. Look how we've been effective when we play boston (more in the past - they've been passive this season).
Key is getting a lead and playing good solid hockey. And pleeeease finish our chances! That's what differentiates us and the leafs the most. This oft referenced SH%. Yeah, we need to improve ours. A ryder, eller, chucky maybe even bourque wristers would be nice. Tired of seeing Kessel, Lupul and Bozak wire them top corner when we have forgotten what that looks like.
