This begs the question; who draws in to replace the fallen Finn?
The obvious choice would be Josh Leivo, the organization’s forgotten son. Having played just 12 games this season, Mike Babcock may learn to covet the freshness of Leivo’s legs.
And of course, there’s the Matt Martin option.
For the sake of brevity, I’ll keep this brief. Under no circumstances should Martin play in this series. If the Leafs possess any shred of hope for victory, it will come via an emphasis on their collective speed and skill, qualities of which Martin distinctly lacks.
