Hard to call the starting lineup for round 2. I think that depends on who they are facing. If it's Boston, we could see a similar lineup to Games 1-5 of the Tampa series. If it is Florida, I think we see Gustaffson and Liligren on the backend for speed and transition.

Those two teams are far too different to make that call yet.

leafs...in the 2nd round,... hell has truly frozen over and it is the end of the world, now dont go and get swept in the 2nd round now

Fair point, I just wanted to make this out of excitement lol

Lmao!

I get it. Been a long time coming.

What I like about going into round 2 is for the first time under the Dubas/Keefe era...... there are legit options. And even better, those options really change the look of the team on the ice. And for once, Keefe actually did something inventive!

Call me crazy, this is something neither Boston or the Cats can do. What you see is what you're getting.

Having those options the deeper this goes will absolutely matter.

Lafferty in for ZAR then I agree. ZAR had two particularly terrible defensive errors in his own zone that led to goals in that series. He's still a good 4th liner, would happy to have him back and if he needs to draw back in im not worried, but Lafferty was better.
