Game Notes​
FLA
-Sergei Bobrovsky will likely start for the Panthers
TOR
-Joseph Woll will likely start for the Leafs
-Despite losing 2 games in a row and calls to possibly break up forward pairings or mix up the bottom-6 or add Robertson and/or Kampf to the line-up Berube opted not to make any line-up changes at practice on Tuesday. After the Leafs lost 2 in a row to the sens in round 1 Berube also (mostly) kept the same line-up which led to a game 6 victory

This goes against my morals and ethics, but so do the Panthers, so if OEL and Murray (or whoever) borrows a water bottle from the other bench by accident, I will look the other way.

Feels like a less useful Kerfoot at this point.

I'll give Jarnkrok some credit, he's 2nd among forwards in PK time this series behind Marner and hasn't been scored on. So at least there's some level of contribution there, as opposed to Holmberg who's been just as unimpactful/blah at 5-on-5 but doesn't contribute to any specialty teams.

I'm guessing they both come out of the line-up tonight though.
 
Definitely feels like a must-win game. Going back to Florida down 2-3 after losing 3 straight doesn't sound appetizing.

Hope Robertson gets in and maybe Kampf. There's a chance Robertson gets killed but he's fast and tenacious and will at least get in on the forecheck and try to make things happen. Maybe he even shoots one in the net, as he often does after being scratched.

Who comes out...I'd take out Jarnkrok and maybe Holmberg. Could even make an argument that McMann should come out but he does have that size/speed thing that coaches love, even if he isn't effectively using those abilities.
 
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I would even consider going 11 and 7 and bringing in Myers as a big body fresh dman that can inflict some pain and take some tough minutes away from some others. He would be an improvement over how Rielly looks in his own end.
 
Holmberg is easily the first one to come out for me. If you want to move Paccioretty down the lineup put Laughton on the 2nd line when you want a better defensive role. I'd take Jarnkrok out second but I will concede that I think Calle gets flak for not producing but if we are just swapping him out for Kampf I think that's at best going to be a net neutral move. Kampf doesn't provide physicality. He's another guy to take faceoffs which is good but we aren't likely to see him score a goal either.
