Keefe's Lines for Game Four Have Been Revealed

Another game, a different lineup for Sheldon Keefe, what's new? It seems like Toronto's head coach is deathly afraid of his players developing chemistry, it's sad. With the Leafs most important game of the season on the line tonight, let's see how Keefe is deciding to roll the dice tonight.

Kerfoot in the Top Six, Bunting in the Bottom Six?



Keefe appears to be trying anything he can to generate some offense, and it looks like he may have finally run out of ideas. The lines we're seeing from Keefe tonight are not new experiments that he's trying out, and one has to wonder if he's given up hope himself.




An interesting note is that Jospeh Woll appears to be getting the start tonight, while Matt Murray backs him up. Murray, who split time with Samsonov for a good part of the season, finds himself on the bench yet again.

The Leafs haven't confirmed whether they will deploy more than six defensemen tonight, a strategy that has worked for them in the past, most notably with Erik Gustafsson. Should the Leafs decide to roll 7 defensemen, one of Aston-Reese, Kampf, or Lafferty could find themselves in the press box.

We'll have to wait and see how these new line combinations work out for Keefe, but if he can't pull together a winning lineup, it's all over for Toronto.
