Description

I've always said that you need to know why you lost a game, but you also need to know why you won a game. There's always an opportunity to get better. Tampa will be back stronger in G5, and Holl has to come out of the lineup.

Up front:
- Bringing back Bunting to play with Matthews and Marner
- Knies - ROR - Acciari is the perfect 3rd line
- ZAR comes out

On defense:
- Rielly - Scheen has been better the last couple games
- Liljegren comes in for Holl

Even though I see the leafs at their best with Bunting on the top line, I don't see how you can put him there like nothing happened. I think because of how he gets called by the ref. Tampa is going to target him and I don't want that for Matthews and Marner.
I'd do these lines
Knies, Matthews, Marner
Jarnkrok, Tavares, Nylander
Bunting, O'Rielly, Accari
Kerfoot/ZAR/Lafferty, Kampf, Kerfoot/ZAR/Lafferty

I dont think Bunting gets another shot at the top line until he proves he can keep himself under control. This would give him a chance to prove he can keep his cool and it would be a punishing line.

jarnkrok - matthews - Nylander
Knies - Tavares - Marner
Bunting - O'Rielly - Accari
ZAR - Kampf - Kerfoot

Valid point... I just haven't been a fan of the Matthews line when Bunting isn't there. My priority would be to get them going, regardless of the risks.
