Toronto Maple Leafs make changes to lineup ahead of Game 4 vs. Panthers but will it be enough?



The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to do the improbable as they get set for Game 4 against the Florida Panthers. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti preview the game and the tough challenge that’s ahead of Toronto and whether they can learn anything from teams that have overcome a 3-0 deficit. Mike and Dave give their thoughts on the changes Sheldon Keefe made to the forward lineup and why it falls short of the mark for a few reasons. To end the show, Mike and Dave go over the shakeup to the defensive pairings and why the options are limited for Keefe.

  1. It would be best to just lose 8-0 and get this thing over with. None of this moral victory stuff. A game 7 series where the leafs go down 4-0, tie it up in the third then lose in OT would be a travesty. Lets get the firings over with.

  2. I don't get this always promoting Kerfoot up the lineup as reward for his good play. If he is excelling where he is perhaps is signal he should stay there, predominantly.

  3. The core 4 are all scared. Fold up like cheap tents in the playoffs. Is it just bad luck they signed these 4 guys to all this money and they turned out to be soft as butter.

  4. These Gen Z players just wanna start summer vacation after winning 1 series. They just want to enjoy life than win a cup for the team and fans. That's the truth.

    Just put Marner, Tavs and Reilly on 1 line and move "Will"iam Nylander to 4th line.

  5. Watch Woll get a shutout or gives up 1 goal Wednesday night to help the team win. If Marner doesn't care I hope Keefe puts him on the third line so that he does care

  6. That 2012-2014 kings dynasty was the best team salary cap era has ever had. No way Leafs match that heart and grit.

  7. I think it's pretty obvious that the leafs are gonna reverse-sweep. i mean they have marner and tavares, right?

  8. Heartless core 4 . Knew it for years. Marner is the biggest POS . No accountability. Does not care if the fans or press care. It’s all about him. Always has been

  9. Man that Marner comment. Do you want some cheese to go with that whine. What did you think he should say? "Yea, we are all pretty broken up about what the sports journos are saying. It is bringing us down and killing our confidence."

    That said, I expect them to lose in four so they don't have to go back to Toronto and face the boos and watch their sweaters get thrown on the ice.

    The real question is, will they finally fire Dubas and Keefe? Haven't Laurel and Hardy done enough harm? Move them out and bring in a GM who understands what it takes to win and real NHL coach.

    Tavares Nylander Kerfoot. Keefe has guys who need to be sheltered. It is easier to do that if they are on the same line. This is pretty much the line that couldn't be trusted to play anyone in Tampa. Expect super low minutes unless they play with someone else.
