You will sweep us

That is my lineup as well

Really hope this is the lineup we see for game 1. I would like Perry in the lineup but i do agree, cant break up that 4th line, especially after last night, they play very well together.

I can’t see Drouin back for playoffs. Mental problems generally take more than a few weeks to heal...

As a Leafs fan I hope you don't play Perry. As a hockey fan, what are you doing not playing Perry? He is exactly the type of player you want in the lineup for playoffs.

not really worried about Perry. He had the one good game against us then started punching people in front of our net and taking dumb penalties

the guy im concerned about is Price

I like your lines - not a fan of Staal at all. I think you meant to put Toffoli on PP1 instead ok keeping Tomas "turnover" Tatar on both units.

To me this lineup is trying to play the small-skilled type game, which TOR takes 10/10 times. Only hope for MTL is to be a Columbus. Even then this years leafs win 9/10 times

Small skilled game? The Danault line is one of the best 2 way lines in the league, Suzuki line with Anderson is a high octane physical line. Toffoli and Caufield on either of KK's wings could be a really high scoring line especially if KK plays like he did in last seasons playoffs. Evans, Lehkonen, Armia, Byron and Perry all make a 4th line that has both scoring and physical play with each combination bringing it own unique elements. If we need speed we bring in Byron and Lehkonen on Evans wings. If we need physical play and irritation hello Perry and Armia. Want to create another 2 way line capable of shutting down Toronto's top lines Lehkonen-Evans-Armia. Montreal has the pieces to compete with the Leafs in whatever style the Leafs want to play. The Habs issues and losses this year have stemmed from their inability to get all on the same game plan at the same time. In fact if you don't belive me go back and look at the game logs to see just how close these games really were. If you take away the EN goals from both sides 7 of 10 were 1 goal games. That literally means that 70% of the games were evenly matched. Also look at the other 3 games 1st game Toronto had 5 PP to Montreals 2 where Toronto scored on 3 of them, do you really think in the playoffs your going to get 5 PP's in a single game? Not likely! So outside of the 7 1 goal games and the ridiculously 1 sided reffing game Toronto outplayed Montreal in 2 of 10 games. Yup that definitely suggests that Toronto will blow out Montreal!!! LMAO

jeez someone got angry. Not saying there aren't good physical players in that lineup, I'm saying that if they want to beat Toronto, they have to fully buy into the defensively-sound, extremely-physical mindset. So they should play all the players that match that identity.

also lmao at Lehkonen-Evans-Armia shutting down Hyman-Matthews-Marner or Foligno-Tavares-Nylander

I am not tryingto compare Caufield to Matthews cause Matthews is the far superior player right now (maybe even for their entire careers) but Caufield scored at a 32 goal pace in his 10 games. You saying that the Habs don't have the talent to play with the Leafs is ridiculous. We may not have the top end players in their prime right now but the Leafs are paying so much for 4 of their players they can barely afford any good depth. Montreal has as good of a chance to win this series as anyone else the Leafs have played since 2004!

I hope the Leafs underestimate them as much as you do cause it would be hilarious if Matthews line was held pointless for the entire series! (not that I think that would happen though)
