I guess we don’t learn that kampf on the 3rd line does work. Sure he gets paid like a 3rd liner but he generates no offence so now we have 2 offensive black hole lines again.
Drew_You_To_91
If I see knies on line with Kampf one more time…
Jrawk93
Benoit McCabe can’t be broken up 🤦
GooseRider960
Those don’t look great, but I guess now is the time for trying new things and figuring things out. Happy to see they’re giving Dewar a shot on 4C. Hope him and Edmundson have good games to start.
SpicyP43905
Man, I was rlly hoping Mitch would hit 100 pts this year.
CamThompson
These lines are obviously kind of wild and the middle six looks especially bad at first glance, but I don’t mind experimenting with the new guys for the first game.
Need to see how Domi looks on wing now. He was bad there early in the season but he’s a liability defensively at centre that they need to see if they can shelter him in the playoffs. The offense he provides is valuable, but he’s going to be targeted come playoffs especially if he’s playing 2C.
They clearly want multiple RHD so it’s not surprising Benoit is out for Edmundson rather than Liljegren. Liljegren has struggled but Benoit has a bit as well. Edmundson’s role is more redundant to Benny anyways, so this was the natural sub for game 1.
See what Dewar can do at centre.
Plus Marner is out, so these obviously aren’t our “real” lines anyways.
Gavin1453
Hoping for 11-7, if Marner is resting his leg after that awkward fall against the Bruins. It’ll give the new D a chance to shine and a chance to try out Dewar in different roles.
kingex11
If Treliving bought at the deadline Keefe wouldn’t know how to utilize the new players. Coaching has always been a problem. Remember this dude went 11-7 last year and tinkered with the lines every night? He’s not a good coach.
Comprehensive-Pay925
Tavares back up on 2nd line center? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
stellosartois
Send a message and sit out Nylander
CarefulSubstance3913
Why are we putting Domi on the wing?

Keefe just said it’s killing him to have to sit the milk man :’(
Silent-Obligation-49
Benoit and McCabe has been our best d pair since they were put together. This makes no sense.
DCASP500
Marner is considered day-to-day with lower body injury.
canadian_eskimo
These lines hurt my head.
Leafs3489
Seeing Benny out is sad. Guy has given everything he can and has played so well this year
Sirrebral99
Don’t take this as the long term fit for these lines, have to use the last month of the season to find out who fits where. Marner out, flu bug still kicking, getting Holmburg back up to speed / Knies hit by Marchand last game… on top or finding a spot for the new additions.
Gonna be a lot of blendin’, folks
Junior_Chicken34
we really got a big guy who sucks at d to replace a big guy thats good at d
1nstantHuman
We might go on a run, but this is not a cup contending team.
But it sure would be great if they surprised the hell out of us.
If only we had an actual freight train of a shut down D that could clear the net with aplomb during the play, not just after the whistle.
correct_eye_is
Edmontn on that 3rd pairing should be interesting. Like one shift it’s McDavid the next who knows?
Let’s go!
ElephantShell34
Praying the Kampf as 3rd C thing is just a shakeup because Mitch is out because that definitely can’t be a regular thing moving forward.
correct_eye_is
Gotta say I think I’d rather have Benoit in the line up over Lily. But we should be able to give some maintenence days now. Lily better have a game tonight. He’s been getting caved in. Hopefully the stress of trade deadline is behind everyone.
ACalz
This is the most injury plague season I’ve seen the Leafs in years (not counting our rebuild)
Silent-Obligation-49
So Benoit was a +1 in 2 games against Boston and Lilly was a -4 in two games against Boston makes so much sense now lol.
eonced
Our 3rd line looked best with Domi Rob and jarn on it. This looks like shit

who is dewar?

Anyone else in the lineup dealing with flu or sickness?

Keefe said Benoit is sitting and I am at a complete loss.

Sammy should have started both games vs bruins 😂 idk what keef is thinking

Thought Timmins has mono ?
postmodern_lasagna
Taking Benoit out and putting Edmundson in is pretty lateral and a waste of draft picks. That being said, I feel like Edmundson could unlock Liljegren to play more to his strengths. Brodie-Liljegren had two puck movers both weak in front of the net. So they dominated weak teams and got hemmed against heavy teams. Edmundson could just hang back and clear the bodies in front and allow Liljegren to position himself for the zone exit.
Now Brodie-McCabe. Brodie can move the puck better than Benoit so that could be an upgrade on that line but Brodie is weaker than Benoit in front of the net and along the boards. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this pair do fine against Montreal and get eaten alive against a Boston or Florida.
Maybe Brodie and Benoit can alternate depending on if you’re playing a run and gun team like the Rangers or a heavy team like Boston. I see the logic in the moves and if you’re going to try and see what you have, now is the time to experiment even if it sucks to see Benoit out.

I’d bench him too after that empty net bullshit.

Time for another wagon run of wins

Bruh sit lijlgren over benny Lilly is honestly so garbage dont know why we kept him this long.

It’s too late to put Marner on LTIR until the playoffs, the deadline was yesterday

Does anyone else see our true Connor back in the mix. Couldn’t be related to passing the TDL could it?

ABSOLUTELY NOT, BENOIT IS NOT BEING TAKEN OUT. ILL KILL YOU SHELDON

Benoit McCabe need to be 2nd pairing, if Keefe can’t figure that out he needs to be gone! Liligren of Brodie needs to be gone to make room for others.

Ok then…
Yeesh, what is Keefe doing?
These lines just don’t make sense to me.
we have Edmonton on the 3rd pairing?
Hopefully Marners not actually injured..
