Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is preparing his team for the Florida Panthers this morning as Game 5 goes down tonight in Toronto.
Craig Berube has his work cut out for him as the Florida Panthers are a very good hockey team that has been giving the Leafs some problems.
The Leafs go into Game 5 having lost two in a row, and fans are begging for some lineup changes. Particularly, they want David Kampf and Nick Robertson in the lineup.
Guys like Bobby McMann and even Max Domi have not been fantastic as of late and there are some fans out there who believe they should be taken out of the lineup.
Craig Berube fixes Toronto Maple Leafs lines
Today at the optional morning skate, David Kampf and Nick Robertson did not stay out afterward, like scratches typically do.
When asked about this, Craig Berube noted that it was an optional skate. Moreover, he made it clear that game-time decisions are likely coming.
Asked what kept David Kampf off the ice this morning, coach Craig Berube said it's an optional skate & they have decisions to make.
Berube is not letting on to what his lineup is going to look like, which will probably frustrate the Panthers, who want to make sure they take the lead in this series.
Very seldom have the Leafs lost three games in a row this season and now would be a pretty horrible time for them to start.
Realistically, some lineup changes would most definitely help their chances as the current lineup just is not getting it done.
Whether or not Kampf and Robertson can fix this team's issues is still up for debate. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
