Things that could work for the leafs game 5;
Bruins history - can't remember the last game 5 they won much less at home, feels like it was all the way back when they won the cup ? Maybe game 5 against Rangers in 2013? Game 5 against Montreal in 2014? It's been a minute
blowing 3-1 leads not only last year but against the leafs in every series we've played them
the bruins have a habit of making shit goaltenders look like Dryden
Things that could work for the Bruins in game 5;
Toronto has tried every type of gameplan and it hasn't worked, the bruins have completely smothered them and gotten better at smothering in each game they've played.
Keeping Swayman in, he's 7-0 and has amazing numbers against the leafs. This is his series to win and lose, I don't even go to Ullmark in game 6 if Bruins lost 5 honestly. Let him finish it out and then give Ullmark game 1 if we advance.
Marchand is a man on a mission. He's pissed about last year, it was right there, right there for the team, and right on his stick with 3 seconds left and a breakaway.
Pasta has been luke warm and still scoring. If he gets hot, it's over.

Need to come out with the same energy as last game, and get the crowd going early.

Not really surprised for any of them ,Matthews I’m sure will do nothing but rest until game time.

Is it bad that I’m ok with that lineup if Marchand and Heinen both can’t go?

I'm really happy that Justin Barzeau is practicing in a regular jersey.
I'm concerned about Woodstock- this is the second practice he's missed. #63 probably needs a breather.

Easier from up here
Prax lines:
Beecher-Coyle-Geekie
DeBrusk-Zacha-Pastrnak
Van Riemsdyk-Frederic-Lauko
Maroon-Boqvist-Brazeau
Wow. That won't be the game lineup, but can anyone say if they saw that top 9 back in September they would think they'd even make the playoffs? Toronto should be mad.

Probably, but for a brief time, my favorite player was with my favorite team.
What does this mean for folks like me who can only watch on ESPN+? Game 2 I had to watch it in Spanish, and Game 4 wasn't available at all.

I really do not want to see Forbort in this series. I see zero reason for him to wear a Bruins uniform again unless one of the six D who played Games 3 and 4 are injured.

This is covered in the injury thread. You should check me but I believe it was made very clear that this is conditioning only. No chance we see him on this playoff run.

Let’s Go Bruins👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Closing it out tomorrow and the mindset/leadership to do so is where Maroon comes on big time. He’s active on the bench, he will be like another captain I’m sure in the room and with 3 Cups, like it or not, he’s been on teams that know how to continually close out series. This is another reason they got him, why he stays in the lineup and why I feel good about them winning game 5.
Let’s go Bruins!

Nope. You're just gaining confidence because you see this squad is a lunch pail team that just doesn't give up and their execution is elite
They're giving me 1980 Team USA vibes tbh
let's see if they can make a statement tomorrow night

keep him away from any curbs
I don’t know that I would put Forbort in just yet, but I would consider Brazeau instead of Lauko/Maroon.
If Forbort draws back in I would just go with 7D. Pick and choose where you slot in Lohrei shift by shift.
Then again, it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
