To me this is the acid test of whether they have truly turned a corner.  What was it, 2 years ago? when they could have closed out a series in Game 6 on home ice and couldn't get it done.  I would love to see them blitz the Habs from the get-go and never even give them a whiff of hope.

[bustaheims]

Expect the Habs to try to come out strong early. Leafs need to weather that storm and put a couple pucks behind Price.

It ends tonight.

Go Leafs Go!!!

[louisstamos]

Let's go Leafs!  Do the thing!!

[Can8899]

No need to rush Foligno back if he's not 100%.  The lineup on Tuesday was dominant, leave it as is or if changes must be made throw Sandin back in.

[herman]

We could play Matthews, Nylander, Marner, and the Marlies and we'd be fine.

Sandin back in for Dermott. Brooks stays in, which is a little surprising to me. I thought he had a pretty rough game on Tuesday.

We don't know how good of shape Nash is in so maybe that's why.

[herman]

Home ice advantage means Keefe can curate the 5 min (ugh) Brooks and Sandin get more safely.

I'm wondering the same. Otherwise I would think Nash rotates in to keep fresh.

[Kessel Run]

Break the streak!!

Before you ask, I don’t understand it either.

no kulak perhaps?  Can't imagine that a 3rd pairing d-man would cause much of a fuss though.
