This might sound like moving the goalposts a bit, but every line Tavares has been on also has trouble getting out of their own zone. They're basically shorthanded in the DZ with one less person who can get to the walls and break cycles. Maybe putting him on the wing helps (closer to the action) where he can leverage his stick strength and mitigate his skating weakness a little.
Quote from: Bullfrog on May 12, 2022, 08:50:14 AMI think they should go with a 1st line of Nylander-Matthews-Marner. Just put out your absolute best.I'm not really sure we're at the load-up stage of the plan yet, but if they did do something like that I'd be really curious to see how Tavares would do on the wing with M&M. He fits more into the Hyman/Bunting role that that they've had success with in the past, but also has the scoring chops that they didn't. You'd still have Kerfoot-Nylander behind them on the 2nd line and the Kampf line for checking.If we're heading towards another "top line getting shut down on the road by Point/Cirelli" game though I'd rather see M&M split up though for a game.

Leafs are the suckiest bunch of suckers that ever sucked. Yeah.Sorry. Just getting in before the usual crowd come out of the woodwork
I said from the start, Leafs in 6. Tonight is the night they lay down the hammer, step on Tampa's throat, exorcise the demons, hell throw in any analogy/cliché you want, just get it done TONIGHT.
