Let's (frank) poop up

Johnsson-Matthews-Marner
JVR-Plek-Nylander
Marleau-Kadri-Brown
Hyman-The Bozek-Kapanen
- AdamFrench

Why the hell not...

Yes he can. I don't give a (frank) if we're being out hit. We need to outscore Boston and that won't happen if you take out guys like JVR (soft as babypoop or not) and add in Martin. It solves nothing and just puts more pressure on other guys to be expected to produce offense.

I respect your opinion regardless what I think of it.

you won't get that matchup in boston.

the bold move is putting pleks/kadri on matthews wing imo.
- Tumbleweed

I wouldn't be surprised to see some lineup mixing. Hyman didn't look as good, something to light a fire.

Hmm interesting.
It’s better to keep Plekanec with other defensive forwards and try and get that matchup up against Bergeron line.
Kadri can thrive in an offensive role.

Kadri Matthews nylander
Hyman plek marleau
Jvr bozak marner

Hyman/Matt/Kapanen
Marleau/Kadri/Marner
JVR/The Bozak/Johnsson
Martin/Plek/Brown

Nylander can watch for a game ( probably win and then watch the next one too )

Go Vegas Go

Rielly Hainsey
Gardiner/Polak
Dermott/Borgman

Hyman/Matt/Kapanen
Marleau/Kadri/Marner
JVR/The Bozak/Johnsson

I think we need one of HOHO's NSFW gifs right about now.. This place is getting depressing.. Frikin' Jake Gardiner, Frikin Zaitsev, and the effing Willie Knee-Ender..

And I respect yours, mostly

Leafs didn't come to play in this series.
- Mr_Smokey

Or they did come to play and another really good (Probably better) team also came to play.

no

He is certainly part of the problem in this series. To deny that is simply foolish.
- UsernameUnknown

He's had a couple of bad goals
But scoring 1 goal...well you arent winning many games that way.
The tean in front if him doesnt know much about D and havent really shown up for almost 60% if the series.
Not a winning combo

No, we aren't getting average from either.

Average play from your #1C is more than 1 point in 4 games and failure to shut down the other team's first line at the same time.

Average play from your goalie is better than .880

Yes, I saw the above comment. I agree 100 per cent. Someone needs to sit for this poop. I would sit Zaitsev as well...

Leafs haven’t been getting totally anihilated out there. They need some things to go right to win this series, but I think it’s far from over still.

lol sit Nylander

pass me that crack pipe

Last nights second and third period, sure. First period they dominated.

He is part of the group that hasn't shown up, in my opinion. His shortcomings in this series should be neither extenuated nor exaggerated.

It's a do or die game;

I don't think Nylander will sit... I do think Babcock should change the lines though;

Maybe;

Marleau- Matthews - Marner
Hyman- Kadri - Kapanen
JvR- Bozak - Nylander
Johnsson - Plekanec - Brown.

lol sit Nylander

pass me that crack pipe
- Zezel

Why not? He has been a no show. This is about winning. Put someone else in...

Or put him on the 4th line...

Calling it now if the Leafs win game 5 they WILL win the series. Book mark this. Hear that RJ? You're gonna lose!

While I understand the sentiment.

I disagree with the idea.

At this point, you go with your best players, hoping they come out of their funk.

If they don't, you're screwed anyway.

Edit: Unless you have a guy that seems to be on fire waiting behind him for more icetime... which I don't believe to be the case here.

and the 5th will be their best...
