Playoffs Round 2: Panthers vs. Maple Leafs

Someone sent me a clip of Steve Dangle talking about the possibility of an illness going through the dressing room.

OEL skipped practice today due to illness. Murray wasn't on the bench for Game 3...maybe a flu bug played a role in their Game 4 effort?

Maybe if it goes to game 7, but even that feels unlikely. Definitely not before then, though.

Agreed...if Woll completely craps the bed in one of the games or is forced out due to injury, maybe Stolarz comes back for game 7. But even then, they might have to go with Murray.

It possible, but I still see those penalties as throwing them off so much that they were basically still in start of the game mode into the 2nd period. Illness could have definitely compounded that. I expect a better effort moving forward, for sure. Cannot overstate the importance of the game tomorrow.

Not seeing anything on Google but boy wouldn't that be something? It would explain game 4 and and of course everyone would get sick at the worst time of the year...LOL
 
As much as he hasn't done anything this year I would strongly consider dressing Reaves and basically tell him to hit everything he can. Florida is taking liberties out there and other than Benoit noone else really to worry about. Knies is a battler but you don't want him in the box potentially. Reaves might keep them honest. Robertson and Reaves in for 19 and 29.

Dressing Reaves would essentially mean the Leafs only have 11 forwards. He's done. He can't catch up to guys quickly enough to get any good hits in. Not only would it have no impact on the liberties the Panthers are taking, it would be actively detrimental for the Leafs when he is on the ice. It would be beyond useless.
