Every game that Keefe gives Tampa the opportunity to forecheck Justin Holl is another nail in his coffin.
Jon Cooper doesn’t even have to try anymore.
Genuine question – what does it take for Lily to get in the lineup? Wasn’t Holl on for 6 goals against last game?
Also it feels like there’s more than enough evidence that Kerfoot – Tavares – Nylander isn’t a good enough line. I do not understand this
Nice, let’s change up the line combinations… again…
Holl knows someones dirty little secret

Perfect.
I was really hoping for Knies-O’Reilly-Nylander. I thought they had some awesome chemistry
Anyone else worried about that second line? They got dicked by Tampa last year and tavares has only gotten worse at even strength. Hopefully kerfoot can figure it out, I really think they need to swap Marner and willy.
I’d really like to see Matthews and Marner split up for the playoffs, but I understand maybe they deserve another game to prove themselves.
I love that third line. They are going to be grueling on the boards and have the ability to score.
I think Knies is going to surprise a lot of people and that third line is going to staple themselves unseperable tonight.
The holl love affair has to be a troll dude is a fucking cone
I really would have liked to see that 4th line broken up after what happened to them last game.
But now it’s on Keefe to not match them with the Perry line and out them in a position to succeed.
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander.
So tired of that line.
Kerfoot is usually a playoff demon so putting him top 6 is good with me
Edit: Maybe demon is the wrong word, I just mean he tends to produce more. Yeah he takes stupid penalties but if he stays out of the box then I’m happy with it.
I like our third line
hey Keefe. Tell me you want to lose your job without telling me you want to lose your job.
If they aren’t gonna put Nylander on Matthews wing like ALL the metrics suggest, then at least swap Tavares and O’Reilly from 2nd to 3rd line.
Keefe always gets outcoached because he prides loyalty/friendships over doing whats best for the team…
I don’t like that mix in the top 6. I’d prefer;
Jarnkrok – Matthews – Nylander
Kerf – Tavares – Marner
Buuuut I’m just a loser wagey so what do I know?
I personally wouldn’t let my job rest in the hands of Justin Holl but go off Keefe.
Man… Holl in instead of Lily is too notch comedy at this point
Matthews and Marner have to eat the Bolts depleted defense alive tonight.
Oh good Justin Holl
Every year Keefe puts Tavares on the wing in the playoffs, and every year it fails.
I wonder how Dubas feels. He added an elite veteran two way center only to watch Keefe load up line 2 and throw acciari at 3c.
If I’m Liljegren I think I’m asking for a trade in the offseason.
Matthews, marner… time to put up or shut up. If there was ever a time when we needed a dominating performance from our highest paid players this is it.
I’ve never seen a roster with so much talent yet here are, AGAIN, struggling to figure out how this franchise is ever going to make it out of the first round for the first time since just before some of these players were born. Holy shit.
So Holl is in and Lily still out.
I’m now on the fire Keefe wagon
Lily is better than everyone not named Brodie and Mccsbe. The fact that he’s not playing is mind-blowing.
It’s like Babcock is possessing Keefe.
I’d be very surprised is Knies and Kerfoot end the game on those lines
Such a better lineup than game 1. We’re going to destroy Tampa tonight.
Kerfoot sucks and hurts that line big time. But hes so shit you vant bury him anywhere else. Really hope the actual good players show uo and the actual physical players hit ppl…… kerfoot on 2nd line is a fuckin joke tho. If we lose this series everyone kinda deserves to be fired. Starting witu Keefe
Continuing to run Holl.out there instead of Lilly will cost Keefe his job and this series.
Holl starting confirms I won’t be watching game 2.
Kerfoot on the seocnd line…wow.
Remember you guys could have Jared McCann instead of Kerfoot
After seeing this lineup. Fire Keefe, keep Dubas.
Wow, he’s really staking his career on Kerfoot and Holl after everything.
He deserves everything coming his way. Good or bad.
Holl… unbelievable
How do you let Tampa drop 7 on you and then not address the defence at all?
Also, Liljegren is one of the top 4 d on this team, insane that he’s not in.
the scene with Hans watching Gordon Bombay lace em up again after many years is going to be Keefe watching Holl after they’re both long gone
what a player
Fourth line will get taken to school by Perry and Maroon, Holl will blow his coverage multiple times around the net. 0-2
We got any new coaches in the hopper tho?
I can’t stand this guy anymore. Truly. I’m over him.
Go Leafs Go, you know what I mean?!?
