Leafs @ Sabres - Mar. 25th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

The Leafs look bad.  That being said anything could happen in this game, Buffalo isn't good.
 
There's a cumulative weight to the questionable lineup decisions that Babcock makes and they all seem pretty evident tonight.

apparently Leivo is out and Smith is in.

That'll teach him to score.  Babcock's dislike of Leivo is very confusing.  Although this time it appears it is due to injury.

His liking of Smith is equally as confusing.  Smith is below average in all facets of the game except maybe work ethic, which should not be enough to justify a spot in this lineup.
Maybe that is the point, Babcock loves guys who play their guts out, that is why Komarov and Hyman are locks for at least the rest of the season. When the rest of the team gets seasoned to knowing their coach (for the next 6 seasons) loves these guys then that work ethic rubs off on the rest of the team. Hence everyone then plays there guts out.

Isn't he injured?

I haven't heard anything to that effect.

Leivo injured, Ben Smith gets back in. Smith has sat the last 12 games. Will play right wing on the 4th line. #tmltalk

I'm not sure what to make of that.
 
Me neither but now you've at least heard it suggested that Lievo is injured.
