No Rielly? No problem. With back-to-back-to-back hat tricks, it’s easy to lose sight of the supporting players. Show Timothy Liljegrin some love, holding it down on offensive defense.

    He’s shown a lot here. Love watching us develop a defenceman. Hasn’t happened since who? Rielly 10+ years ago? We have a keeper here. Lock him down Brad.

    We have Top4 RHD at home

    But in all seriousness, Lilli driving the 2nd pair with Brodie, while Mo drives the top pair with literally anyone capable of skating backwards could be exactly what this team needs.

    You can put McCabe in the Top4 for spot starts, but he should be playing as the 5th D with Benoit most of the time on the Bash Bros pair

    I have always like Liljegren far better quarterbacking the PP. Some players just need an opportunity – hopefully the coaching staff can learn from what these players have shown. I’m not holding my breath though.

    He was really whipping it around sexy style on the PP. Sexian. 

  5. I admit, a couple years ago I doubted Lily ever making it and that he was ‘overrated’. I thought Sandin would be the top4.

    But over the last season and a half, Lily is something special. Very underrated, and top 4 material.

    He was a top 3 draft pick that fell cause of Mono he took his time to develop in the marlies and now he’s looking to break into a top 4 role I’m excited

    Get him away from Keefe and watch him flourish.

  8. You have to feel for Liljegren, Keefe is the only coach he has ever had outside of Sweden. When Liljegren was drafted and playing for the Marlies, Keefe was the coach, eventually starts playing for the Leafs lo and behold Keefe again. I think much of Liljegren’s chances to play on a full time level were always hindered by Keefe. Sandin drafted a year later, yet got a bigger chance, then all the weird love shown to Holl. Now its Lily’s turn to shine!
