I like Nylander in Marner's spot.

Spezza,Nylander>Marner on the right wall.

Marner is kinda useless on the left side without a one timer or a catch and shoot threat.

Marner's gotta be more versatile than this? Why has he only been tried on the right and left side.

Honestly, I think the Leafs Achilles Heel has to be their special teams. Their power play is telegraphed because they don't have multiple threats to shoot. And their PK is mediocre at best (hopefully, Foligno and maybe Nash* can help on this front).

* Unsure if and when Nash returns or if he has a history of PKing.

Throw spezza up top. He’s got a better slap shot anyways.

Downside is if it’s blocked, spezza isn’t catching the guy that blocked it.

Hey Mike:

Karine Hains has posted in the predictions thread.

The bar has been set.

The gauntlet has been thrown down.

What say you?

Let’s hope it doesn’t go to game 6.

Would you really want to go with only 2,500 fans?

I would imagine the atmosphere would be eerie.

I’d rather save my money and watch in my backyard with friends.

It’s kind of nice watching a little bit of playoff hockey knowing your team is still in it, and not losing, yet.

Those Pittsburgh uniforms are just franking awful.

They look like uniforms designed for a juicebox commercial, by a graphic artist who has never seen a hockey game.

I said it in the last thread.

If the Habs are to stand a chance, Suzuki's line needs to outplay Tavares's line the whole series.

They've done it at times during the season, hopefully they can do it again.

Honestly Scabeh, it is up to the Leafs to win or lose this. They will play to their potential or they will choke again.

Okay I really never do predictions, but if the Habs win one it'll be because Price stood on his head.

As I said in the prediction thread, Leafs have to overcome Leafs more than they have to overcome Habs.
