What's the reason for taking Bunting off the first line? Is it a defensive thing? Seems really stupid to break it up now.

Seems really stupid to break it up now.He’s not 100% and yeah it was a defense thing. I think the Leafs keep falling into the trap of letting other teams dictate the way the game is going to be played though. Keefe was line matching to the point that the Matthews-Marner line were the third line starting periods. Then penalties take them out of the game further. Matthews and Marner are good defensive players. You need to trust them to be your best players. Stop letting Tampa dictate the line matchups
Leafs projected lineup in Game 5:Bunting — Matthews — MarnerMikheyev — Tavares — Kerfoot Nylander — Kampf — EngvallSpezza — Blackwell — KaseRielly — LyubushkinMuzzin — BrodieGiordano — HollCampbell— Jonas Siegel (@jonassiegel) May 10, 2022

Quick thread for Leafs diehards: I feel uniquely qualified to discuss Justin Holl having been w/ the Marlies when he was there, and saw/heard what the staff liked about his game. One place our eyes lie to us in evaluating players is we remember the big moments and little else...— Justin Bourne (@jtbourne) May 10, 2022
