Description

Maroon was practicing in a non contact jersey, but he was in pasta's spot on the 2nd line. I assume that means that it's just a maintenance day for Pasta and that Maroon won't be in the lineup.

Personally love the offensive lines, I think Beecher's speed does that third line a lot of good. And that needs to be the top 6 going into the playoffs. The Marchand-Coyle-Debrusk line need to get themselves going on their own, no more breaking them up to try and get each of them going individually.

Also love this version of the top 4. Unless we bring in someone like Hanifin this offseason, this is likely what the long term vision of the top 4 looks like. And Lindholm-McAvoy are absurdly good together so love them getting more time as a pairing.

Only thing I don't really love is Shattenkrik on his offside on the third pair, but that's a minor thing and the numbers of that pairing have been pretty good anyway.

Boston has beaten Toronto 6 times in a row including 4 this year for whatever reason. They’ve been leveraging outstanding goaltending and solid forechecking to consistently beat the more highly regarded Leafs

If that third line can get a forecheck going, that's a whole lot of bodies being thrown around.

I don’t believe splitting Beecher and Boqvist makes sense if the objective is to keep Boqvist at center.

Personally believe it makes more sense to move Brazeau to the third line, which makes it a big line and preps for when Maroon comes back.

Curious to see if JVR’s issue is based on issues with a pre-existing injury OR if he’s dealing with the ramifications of long COVID. His play has been an issue

Primarily because when you have two star players plus great goaltending and good overall depth, it builds into successful team building as opposed to teams that depend on highly regarded prospects who aren’t ready.
