Whoops
On this day in 2005, #LeafsForever drafted Tuukka Rask 21st overall in the #NHL Draft. He has the most career wins by a goalie drafted by the Leafs in franchise history, despite never playing a game for the team (291).

I’m not worried about last nights game per say but I do have a high level of concern.
#1 First is Marchand’s status?
#2 2nd an 3rd lines, just my opinion but I’m not expecting Kuhlman or Stud to be in the lineup for the first game of the first round. Ritchie and Kase will be in the lineup if cleared and will be apart of lines 2 and 3. The sooner Krejci and Coyle get their wingers locked down the better. These next three games are just glorified exhibition games in my opinion, just an opportunity to ramp up, build chemistry and a lot more intensity than we had last night.
#3 I’m a little concerned if Krug is going to be engaged like he usually would be. He knows he’s most likely gone when the playoffs are over so the distraction could be a problem.
With that said I’m sure all teams have similar concerns.

This is no where a normal playoff run with all teams fresh and fairly healthy I feel there is gonna be a lot of unpredictability going forward..
The Bruins will have very short window to get up to speed as we all know and get there Offence figured out , I believe that’s are biggest issue..

I think if Marchand is okay our top line can do a ton of damage early on in the playoffs because team defences are usually slower rounding into form. (Ours included)
If we are going to go on a deep run our 2nd and 3rd lines have to be contributing with regularity.
I’d like to see Ritchie/Krejci/Kase Debrusk/Coyle/Bjork
Ritchie second line only because of his toughness and I also like the idea of having Debrusk and Coyle use their speed and burn some opposing 3rd D pairings.
Studnicka or Kuhlman can slide into Bjork’s spot if he’s not getting it done.

The Bruins scrimmaged with the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday, ahead of the start of their round-robin games on Sunday. On Friday morning, Bruins forward Sean Kuraly explained life in the bubble, both on the ice and off.
You’re caught off guard a little bit.
The NHL did a great job with the setup, the lights, everything inside the rink. But you can’t replace not having the fans there.
So walking out to the game last night, it was weird. Especially early on. It’s been a while since you’ve played hockey. You’ve been in quarantine before for months.
Then you’re like, “Wow, this is for real.” The first five minutes or so, it was really weird.
But then you realize this is hockey. We’ve done this our whole lives. It’s the same stuff.
It’s not that you stop noticing the crowd wasn’t there. But after a while, it became like another game, like we’ve done a million times before.
After that, everything was all the same. OK, maybe not exactly. We did a quick workout after the game at the (Toronto) Raptors’ gym, which is in the same building. We had to mix our own proteins and powders for recovery shakes.
But we rode the bus back to the hotel after and had a postgame meal. You can’t serve yourself, though. You have to explain how big you like your portions, or if you want a few more pieces of broccoli or cauliflower. Some guys are more particular than others.
But I have to say that everything’s been really first class. I feel very taken care of.
Today’s an off day. It’s our first since we’ve been in Toronto. I had breakfast in our team room in the hotel, which is always the same.
Then there’s the testing. Every day, you’re given a certain time block. There’s about 10 stations or so in the hotel. So in an hour window, you go down and get the nasal swab testing. It’s a Q-tip they swab around each nostril for about 10 to 20 seconds. Then you’re done. There’s never been a wait.
You also have to take a temperature check every 12 hours. It’s all automated. You walk up to a screen and it takes your temperature. Then a CLEAR app on your phone goes green for the next 12 hours. Once it goes red, then you have to do the temperature check again and confirm you don’t have any symptoms.
And yeah, masks are everywhere. Basically the only place you take it off is in your room. I wouldn’t say anybody in particular is hard to understand. But you definitely have to speak up through the masks.
Later today, me and some of the guys are headed over to BMO Field. You can walk there from the hotel. Everything’s fenced off. They’ve got a lot of stuff over there: cornhole, soccer balls, Frisbees, bocce ball, spikeball. They’ve got food over there, mostly grilled stuff.
In the hotel, there’s a few restaurants for us. Every team has times reserved, so we can go in and be by ourselves. Lunch is pretty much the only meal that isn’t in our team room.
I don’t really know all the rules, but I think we’ll be allowed to go to the rink and watch the other games if we want. I’m not sure if that’s something I’ll be doing. When we’re practicing, the day goes by pretty quickly. You wake up, have breakfast, stretch, practice, work out, eat, unwind. That’s a lot of the day. I guess it depends how bored I get if I go over to watch the games. Typically in the playoffs, you don’t really have much interest in games other than your own anyway.
Boredom, though, hasn’t really been an issue so far. Maybe it’s because we’ve only been here for five days. I suppose that could change. I brought a couple books, but I haven’t started reading them. Maybe that was thinking optimistically. There’s a golf simulator, but that seems to be a pretty popular thing.
In my room, I hung up some of the things I don’t want to get wrinkled. But I’ve still got a lot of my stuff in the suitcase. In that way, it just feels like a regular road trip so far. I haven’t really set up my room like it’s home. I don’t want to be leaving stuff out everywhere that I might forget in a couple weeks.
Really, I haven’t felt like I’m fenced in so far. It’s not like there’s something I want to do and can’t do it. Or that there’s something I need that I don’t have. I haven’t felt like that at all yet. It seems like they’ve thought of everything. Really, no complaints.
There’s laundry today. You put everything in a bag and they take it away. If you need more things, you can always order from Amazon or anywhere. There’s a concierge that can take care of that. If anything, I feel like I didn’t pack enough T-shirts. We were going to do collared shirts for dress code to the games. But the team gave us some collared shirts, so we’re set there.
It’s not like I’m the type that feels the need to be around the city. I’m not always looking to go out normally. Typically in the winter, I sometimes don’t even leave the hotel if it’s cold outside. I’m fine with just hanging around the hotel.
Then again, it’s only been five days.

On Friday, Ondrej Kase traveled to Toronto. The following day, Kase skated with the Bruins for the first time since his one-and-done appearance at Warrior Ice Arena during training camp.
Kase declined to answer why he was declared unfit to participate for all but one day of camp and unable to travel to Toronto with his teammates on July 26.
“I respect the question, but I prefer not to get into specifics of the process,” Kase said.
According to Bruce Cassidy, Kase fulfilled his quarantine in Boston prior to his departure. He was not required to quarantine in Toronto upon arrival.
Kase’s only camp visit to Warrior was on July 15, when he participated in a two-man on-ice session alongside Trent Frederic. It was the same day David Pastrnak participated in his only practice of Phase 3 of the NHL’s return.
Kase and Pastrnak entered quarantine after that. J.P. Barry, Pastrnak’s agent, disclosed that his client had come into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Kase and Pastrnak had to fulfill 14-day quarantines before participating in Phase 3 because they had traveled to Boston from Europe. Sometime before reporting to Warrior, Kase and Pastrnak, in full practice gear, posed for an on-ice picture at a local rink with an unidentified player. They were also photographed in the North End. Pastrnak was wearing a mask. Kase was not.
“When we had the date for when camp was started and knew that some may need to quarantine when they get here, you kind of hope they’d get here a little earlier,” team president Cam Neely said during Phase 3 when Kase and Pastrnak were deemed unfit to participate. “But we really didn’t have much say in that. That was really left up to the players. Obviously, with what’s played out and transpired, you certainly would have hoped there’s some different decisions made. But in the long run, I don’t know if it’s really going to affect us. Once we get into Toronto, I think we’ll be fine.”
According to the Bruins, Kase skated on Saturday with Frederic, Nick Ritchie, Zach Senyshyn, Jakub Zboril, Urho Vaakanainen and Maxime Lagace following the main group’s practice. Kase will not play in Sunday’s round-robin opener against the Flyers.
Kase skated in Czech Republic during the shutdown. He did not participate in any of the informal practices or off-ice workouts of Phase 2 at Warrior. The right wing is roughly a month behind some of his teammates.
“I think I can be back up pretty quick,” said Kase.
Even if Kase regains his fitness quickly, he must also relaunch his pre-shutdown integration. Kase appeared in only six games after the Bruins acquired him from Anaheim. He recorded zero goals and one assist.
In his final appearance, Kase rode on the second line with Ritchie and David Krejci. Cassidy has reunited Krejci with Jake DeBrusk. Jack Studnicka did not look out of place as their right wing in Thursday’s exhibition game against Columbus.
“He’s high energy,” Cassidy said of Kase. “He’ll get on pucks. Good forechecker that way. He’s good at being the first guy. Jake’s got good speed too. So if he ends up with Krejci, Krech can kind of be the high guy and read off those two. So he certainly brought that. Willingness to shoot the puck. He went to the net. The offensive numbers weren’t there. Not sure they were for the line in general. Not going to put that all on Ondrej. That’s what I’d expect out of him. He’s young. Should have his legs under him. For him, it’ll be getting the reps, timing, execution, used to the physical part of the game.”

If Washington wins or loses in overtime then tonight vs the Flyers then the Bruins will finish fourth which means it will be either the huricanes or penguins.
