Game 26: Penguins @ Leafs, 7:00pm - CBC, NHLN-US,ROOT-PIT

It *should* easily be one of Orr or McLaren coming out, but given Carlyle's love for those guys it could be one of the guys that can actually play hockey in the press box.
 
Yeah, I can certainly understand having one of them in the lineup just to have a guy go out there and offset the idiot that Pittsburgh has filling the same role, but otherwise taking out Steckel's defense/PK ability or Komarov's hitting, defense, and forechecking is just silly.
 
Leafs usually play well against the Pens.

Can't wait for this one.

Orr should definitely be the one sitting out.  He is the least useful of the players.

I agree, we don't need fighters against Pittsburgh, its more of a speed and skill game with them, McLaren can handle any fights that come up, if any at all, doubt we will see a fight tonight.
 
My only problem with Steckel sitting is that it puts McClement back to the 4th line, and I'd rather have him with the shutdown group.

And makes the 4th line worse - what's the point of two guys whose role is the same, and basically a non-skilled role at that.  Orr or McLaren could do it by themselves, and have Steckel/McClement play with them.

Well, yeah. I meant aside from the obvious fact that it's pointless to have two enforcers in the line-up.

I really doubt that the 4th line will be a game breaker tonight; whoever is on it.

The 4th line wont win the game, but they could certainly lose it, as they have done before this year.
