Thread: What Id consider for game 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dons_weeney</b></div><div>Looking good for the leafs at this point, they're shutting down any chance boston gets and they're keeping them to the outside. Woll leads the playoffs in save % and GAA, and I think that's far more reflective of the team than it is him. Of course he's played well, but the bruins haven't gotten any good looks, in large part to the leafs defense.

Swaymans playing out of his mind, but nobody else is even close to his level of compete/urgency

The most overlooked reason why the leafs are winning now is the fast that they instantly cleaned up their game penalty wise. 2 penalties in the last 2 games is incredibly disciplined. They realized Boston was winning off of power play goals, and when you take that away you see what the bruins really are.

Will be an interesting game 7, I'm going Leafs 4-1, knies/nylander/domi/marner the goal scorers

Although is it possible to pick both teams to lose? :tearsofjoy</div></div>

Swayman's been fantastic though... And I'm sticking to what I orginally said, Bruins in 7... 3-2 OT BOS with Pasta OT winner...

Leafs haven't scored 4 since RD1 G4 last year... They need to figure it out...

PP still sucks and it's Swayman...

But I hope you are right and I'm wrong lol...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Oh yea forgot he left in the third game 4 but yea point stands

<strong>Cause really having a rested Matthews for FLA could have huge benefits
</strong>
And I mean BOS did score on Woll Game 6 we can't really deny it there was time on that clock. Like if it was 2-3 Tor and Willy tied with 0.1 we would be going it counts</div></div>

I think the last thing the Leafs should be is greedy... Yes, there are benefits to Matthews not playing G7 (More rest and time to recover from injuries), but you also have to consider that winning game 7 is far (and I mean far) from 100%, so if your best player is able to play, play him

That's fair, but everyone stopped playing at 5 seconds left

Thread: Chychrun to Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>If you’re in the camp that were better off without Marner, I disagree but it’s a fair position. He has not looked good in playoffs so far.
Given that it’s just very unlikely he gets moved - if he is:
1/ it won’t be in division
2/ we can &amp; should expect much better return than this; Chycrun is 2nd pair LHD with one year left (not a position of need for us); pick &amp; prospect are underwhelming</div></div>

I'm in the camp where we can't afford Marner and have a top 5 chance at winning it all (unless Marner's willing to take one for the team - which seems unlikely)

Which is why I said that Lilly's not going the other way, with more value added...

If OTT wants him... I wouldn't mind:

Marner for Chychrun/Zub+Ott 1st (top 1 protected) + 2 2nds

Thread: Chychrun to Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I am not sure Chychrun is much better than McCabe. He's not better defensively, and his offense isn't enough to warrant spending big to get him. Pesce is massively overrated as well. We can already sign Roy or Pesce this off season and it's pretty clear our depth is not bad. I don't really care if Bertuzzi comes back or not. He's going to ask for too much. I hope Domi signs a 4 year deal at 3.5-4 per season but really we have reinforcements coming and can afford Marner. The year after we are laughing</div></div>

I'd rather bring back Bert+Domi tbh... They've each gone after guys like Marchand and that means less time to tamper with the 6 guys thee leafs need to have going (34,16,88,91 and 44)

Pesce's solid DFD that would compliment Rielly and Chychrun would produce more offence from the backend... Also means that Benoit-McCabe face mismatches as well, wouldn't mind bringing one of Eddy or Libby as the 7th either...

It's really, Chychrun vs Brodie/Gio's the real comp for him, as that's who would come out for Chychrun
