[Masters] Leafs practice lines

  1. Obviously, Dewar is a placeholder, but it will be interesting if he comes out and Robertson stays in. Robertson to my eye has played reasonably well, and pk has been bad, so I can see benching Dewar instead.

  2. So Matthews is dealing with something right? Is this not the second practice in a row he’s missed? That’s great, our three stars are all injured just in time for the playoffs. If that isn’t the leafiest thing I’ve ever seen I don’t know what is.

  3. Lilly out and Brodie in could be the nail in the coffin of this series and no I’m not being dramatic. 

  4. Hawks fan here but damn it, I want to see the Leafs win this series. Of all the Canadian teams, would like to see the Leafs hoist the CUP too. So tired of vegas, boston, tampa.

  5. Leafs desperately need goals so I think Robertson makes more sense over Dewar. The 4th line actually gets decent sustained pressure so maybe Robertson could help them make good on it

  6. To me, this looks more like Willy will play. Robertson shifting to the 4th line to me suggests that they will put him there even though I think that line becomes borderline un-usable as a combination.

    Matthews didn’t look right in game 3 and him not skating again is concerning. He’ll play. Hes a warrior. But he’s not healthy.

  7. I’m thinking Nylander is coming back on Saturday night. Seems he stuck around for the powerplay component, which suggests he’s probably coming back to fix this stupid powerplay.

  8. Get marner off the second line, go earn your minutes back on the third line. Dudes a black hole

  9. It is absolutely embarrassing that Dewar is the odd man out. What the fuck is Robertson going to do on the 4th line..? We will lose this series.

  10. Willy needs to be prepared to be headhunted. They’re so going to target his ass the minute he’s on the ice.

  11. If a fucking RHD was that fucking important they should’ve just re-signed Schenn. He’s like way better than Lilly and Boosh and was Mo’s best d partner in like a decade.

  12. Am I missing something? Everyone’s saying Brodie’s in for Liljegren, but Liljegren’s paired with Rielly. Looks like he’s taking Lyubushkin’s spot, while Brodie takes Liljegren’s. Is that not right?

  13. I agree with Dewar being the odd man out. The 4th line’s success seems to mostly be on the back of Reaves and not like Dewar is helping much on the pk.

  14. Lilly is coming out because he is getting muscled off too many pucks. Go and watch the third Boston goal. Lilly gets pressured and caved in (like many other instances), Edmunson is forced to help and Heinen makes a great pass to a wide open Marchand. Not sure how much better TJ will be but at least he is one our top PK guys and better defensively than Timmy. The way this series is going every mistake is so glaring that we literally can’t afford any. Gotta start putting the puck in the damn net.

  15. Everyone chill out, Matthews resting as he’s been battling the flu. He will play. Dewar just grinding reps with Bert and Max.

  16. I’ve liked our 4th line recently, Dewar has been physical and aggressive on the forecheck. Hopefully it doesn’t become a point of weakness

  17. Keefe loves loading up tavares-matthews-marner when we need a a goal, but just hear me out here.

    What if we went nylander-tavares-marner. Nylander doesnt have to be on the 3rd line with nobody, create a second first line that boston has to defend.

  18. Lily out will probably be a mistake. Brodie Edmundson is gonna get caved harder than they were together.

  19. How Robertson stays in over Dewar I don’t get. I get Robertson can score but he really hasn’t been close or that good. Dewar elevates that 4th line and is a good penalty killer

  20. We definitely need secondary scoring which is Robertson’s thing but the fourth line is genuinely playing so well right now it kinda sucks to break them up.

  21. Am I to interpret this as Boosh is hurt and Dewar is the forward getting scratched for Nylander’s return?

  22. Sadly our 4th line has easily been our most consistent to achieve 5 on 5 offensive zone pressure this series. Robertson, despite providing offensive energy/chances, should not be taking Dewar’s spot in the lineup.

    Say what you will about Lilly’s game vs Brodie’s struggles this year, but the (re)addition of Boosh has been a major disappointment. Unfortunately IMO they have to keep him in the lineup due to handedness and playstyle.
