Mike Augello: Shaking it up with season on the line; Game 5 – Leafs vs. Bruins

4-2 Leafs.

Go Leafs Go

I dig the lines. Maybe Kapanen gets flipped with Brown if the top line is ineffective, the extra speed could add some looks. Kapanen could be dangerous with Bozak and JVR too.

Being down 3-1 is a bad spot undoubtedly but backs against the wall tonight it's now or never for a win in Boston. With that lose and go home mentality maybe they scratch out a win tonight. Win tonight and you're riding high going back to Toronto.

Force a game 7 and anything can happen! GLG!

On the bright side if the Leafs lose tonight they will be in prime position to lowball Nylander for his new contract this summer.

His 2x 61 points reg seasons guarantees him a proper deal no matter what...

So? Lou won't pay him big bucks for regular season points. He's over 6 million if he performed in the playoffs. Under 6 since he hasnt.

I'm all in with you buddy! As I said before if they win tonight the Leafs will win the series.

I do wish Babcock would have slid Kadri into the 4th line though.

would be nice

I think 8x6 would be fine, too. Not much of a gamble there, really. There is little to make me think that would turn into a bad contract.

prediction: if the leafs lose tonight they lose the series

At least he finally put JVR and Bozak where they belong

It's been 4 games

It really doesn't add much to it, its just wishful thinking

Nobody likes my dead bear?
It's a Brewing company in Michigan according to my Googliness.

Edit: Side note: Googling "Dead Bears" is actually really (frank)ing sad.
