BOS
?Jeremy Swayman will likely start for the Bruins
?Boston appears to have 2 players ready to step back into the line-up after missing the first 4 playoff games with an injury. Derek Forbort and Justin Brazeau were both on regular lines at practice on Monday

TOR
?Joseph Woll will likely start for the Leafs
?Keefe did not indicate which goalie would be getting the start for game 5, however Woll does seem likely to get his first playoff start this year given how the series has gone so far
?The bigger question mark is of course the status of Auston Matthews. Matthews left game 4 in the 3rd period due to an illness and was not at practice on Monday. The Leafs appeared to be preparing for him to not play at practice but obviously that could all change depending on how he feels throughout the day Tuesday

Even if Matthews plays he won't be at peak, so I think it all comes down to Woll.  He may have to pitch a shutout to get us back to Toronto.

Trouble is, he was shakier than Sammy to his last few starts in the regular season.  We're kind of down to a hope and repeated prayers to whatever deity is applicable.
 
It's kinda strange going into a playoff game with zero expectations, I hope Woll can pull a Bobrovsky (last year) and steal the series, we will see...lol

Woll was actually good in 3 of his last 4 starts. Sammy was the disaster in his last 2 starts.
Either way whatever happens, happens. Hope all the boys have a great game. Go LEAFS Go!
 
Please put Giordano into the lineup. I don't want him to finish his career as a healthy scratch. He's rested. You know he's going to give it his all and won't melt under the pressure.

 
Not sure how to be optimistic based on everything that's gone on. Hope we get a win, but losing will hopefully end the misery that is the makeup of this team.
 
When EVERYONE capitulates like they have after game 4, it actually makes me believe we can win this one tonight.

Go Leafs Go!
 
I just want to see an honest effort tonight. No more of this assuming defeat before the puck gets dropped like we've seen so often in big games.

If they give it their all and lose, so be it. Just don't quit until the final buzzer sounds.

Soft goals are killers.

I know there is a lot of narrative out there because they score 2 goals a game, and that's certainly part of why they are losing, but this should not be overlooked. Trade goalies and we're winning this series.
 
So, what do people expect tonight? Probably the Leafiest thing would be to come out gangbusters, score a bunch of goals the next 2 games, force a game 7 and then get smothered (maybe losing in OT for good measure). Or, do they pull a no-show and go out meekly tonight?

I kind of expect them to have a good game.
