Medical staff is definite on our team.

I bet it's just Dubas wearing two pairs of glasses.

[cabber24]

A few less penalties and shots against would be nice. Nylander is due.

Go Leafs Go!

One series ends tonight, one goes to game 7.  Let's be on the game 7 one.

Babs had these lines for Game 5's morning skate as well but swapped Plekanec and Kadri prior to the game.

In a do or die game though, I think he'll stick with the shutdown centre he's trusted for the past 2 seasons.

With Leafs having last change, it be interesting to see which way he goes against the Bergeron line.  Without a doubt it will be Marleau-Marner on the wings.  At Center, I wonder if he chooses the centerman based on which zone or other situational choices?

kasperi kapanen and william nylander first #leafs skaters out this morning, in heated foot race to get on the ice first.

kapanen took inside track to the door, nylander went for the bench and hopped over.

pretty sure kapanen won.

keepin’ it light before big game 6

If either of them injured himself doing stuff like this I would be despondent and maybe apoplectic.

That we can even have this discussion about which matchup centre to use is why I was pretty pleased about the Plekanec trade.

[Kaberle15]

and now that Plekanec's goatee power is growing back on him, it is real nice to have 2 Centers that can go head to head with Bergeron's line.

Both games that the Leafs won, that line was off the scoreboard...

Nice to see the Docs also on the fan side!

Go Leafs Go!!! Lets take this to 7!

[herman]

Patrice Bergeron just exited the ice about 10 minutes into Bruins morning skate while everybody else has stayed out there. Maybe something. Maybe nothing.

Edit:

Bruce Cassidy indicates everybody looks healthy and ready to go headed into warm-ups tonight for Game 6

A win tonight would be super.

GO LEAFS GO!
