Toronto Maple Leafs News & Notes Game 3: Lineup Changes, The Powerplay, Hedman & More!
In This video, I go over all the relevant news and notes heading into Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. I use advanced stats and contextual data and quotes to break it all down and get you set for the action!
Cernak hasn’t skated at all since gm1 until you see him at least in some morning skates I cant see him returning for 3 or 4. I can’t imagine they’re just hiding him somewhere and it’ll just be “Ta Da!!! Cernak in tonight”. But who knows this is Cooper we’re talking about lol
there is no place for lijegren at the table his play late in the season cost him a shot in the lineup GIO AND HOLL LOOKED SOLID in game 2 and no way schenn sits snd 7/11 well after last game sorry role all 4 lines , and you contradicted yourself the whistles DO go away as the games get more meaningful
We just need to play well, you can blame the refs all you like and it is warranted because some calls are rough haha but the Toronto still needs to show up and if they play how well they did in game 2 their going to be tough to beat.
Everyone complained about the 3 game suspension when the dirty hit is making one of tampas better dmen be out minimum 2 games. Leafs playing great but you add headman and that a lone is a major difference leads definetly should be looking at that
I wouldnt be the least bit surprized to see lilgren or even gusty come in and replace Holl. Thats the reason why Dubas made the move for all these extra defencemen,.. to use them. Keefe will want to throw as many looks at the lightning to thwart the lightnings ability to make adjustments to slow them down. If i had to guess…. Hedman is in tonight. and a 60% Hedman is still way better then not having him in and moving other guys up
For those who dont think Matthews is dealing with that hand or wrist injury nagging him is crazy. Hes a totally different player/ His shot has really suffered. and you dont see him taking those slapshot one timers he used to take on the pp. After this playoffs i bet it comes out hes dealing with something that may even require surgury.
Let me tell you this man. Keep doing what you’re doing. You speak well and have great insight and have a future in this. You are well spoken and knowledgeable. Keep it at it man! -Leaf fan living in Mexico
It doesn't matter to me whether Matthews scores or not. Every second he is on the ice is a danger to his opponents and the extra attention he draws helps every teammate he shares the ice with.
I want to bring attention to the Leafs fans outside during the first intermission while the panel were discussing play. These idiots were pretending to give blowjobs to the camera. Toronto fans already have a bad enough reputation without morons like this helping the situation. I hope you can convince someone at TSN or here to shame them, Brown. smh.

Holl is absolute trash
Is Lilligren injured because if not he must be pissed!!

Is Hedmans injury serious or something if they give it time will heal 100 percent?
Really happy to see you got a new hat lol great content as always!

Yea just wait till Headman plays 30 mins tonight
Leave it to leafs fans get blown out in game 1 and game 2 the lightnings best defensive defenseman. They aren’t going to feed the “lightning lunch”
@dtsb GREAT content/analysis – in a way i’ll be bummed when tsn gives you a segment bc less time to spend on these but i’ll be happy for you!
So truth be told the Leafs need to stay out of the dam box stop getting sucked in to bad penalties that usually end up burning them.
Is it just me or is there a lot of penalties being called this playoff season?
The amount of calls per egregious infraction go down in the playoffs. That is more the problem than the total amount called.
Big game tonight. I think the team who wins tonight takes the series

LOL the picture of Vasilevskiy that shows up at the end of your video… he looks like a serial killer from a horror movie.
Vasi probably will be in rock form tonight, but hopefully Leaf’s can overwhelm him
If nies keeps smacking his stick he makes a great decoy turning the defensmans heads.
youre bias
More great analysis! Yes Yes Yes! Good stuff. Keep ‘em coming. Very high quality content.
go leafs go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
