Unless the coach is dropping Matthews, or Marner, or Tavares, or Nylander, or Rielly, or Giordano, or Brodie, or Campbell from the lineup for non-health related reasons, there isn't really much to fret about.

The opening night roster is never the game 82 roster, and the playoffs is no different outside the core players. Liljegren will get some rest and some perspective in the box. Holl and Spezza are coming in with fresh legs and a bit of a chip on the shoulder to prove they should be fixtures. Give the opponents something different to adjust to.

GO LEAFS GO!

Anything goes tonight. I thought Clifford may get in because of those refs, but I guess not.

No Simmonds or Clifford, I guess Keefe doesn't want anymore penalties tonight.

Good.

Welcome to the board, JJJJC.

I want Spezza to have the kind of game that makes me mad he didn't play in games 1 or 2. I also want to see Tavares and Nylander make us forget the criticisms of the last 2 games.

Not a huge fan of Liljgren sitting tonight, I thought he's looked great, but I'm also not a huge Holl fan, so that could be a little bias. Either way, should be a really good tilt.

I was hoping he could fit a few more Joes in there. Hugely disappointed.

I count 4-5 turnovers in this reel. He was credited with just 1 giveaway officially. What a funny stat.

This is really weird after so many years of Trade Him articles and radio hits.

Maybe I should go back to Iafrate for the playoffs, in your honour and to complete the old school vibe.

Memo to Leafs... SHOT BLOCKER SIDE

[Kaberle15]

Also Leafs need this game badly. Get it together ND just win. 2nd line must wake up.

Frank E has spoken.

So, basically, the Leafs are the President's Trophy winner of games this guy didn't ref. How is 1-6 even possible with a team with this record?
