No one here wanted to watch a Leafs game tonight.

We all wanted it wrapped up in a neat little bow on Sunday afternoon so we could start thinking about playing against the Blue Jackets. Hockey rarely works out the way you want it to.

So, here we are. Game 7\. Again. Against the Bruins. Again. I am so sick of the Bruins. I want this series over and done with. I’m sure you do too.

So let’s focus for now on what’s happening with the game. We’re trying to keep updated with any line changes for this game tonight, but I’m sure information will be kept as much as possible behind closed doors. Anything that comes out from beat reporters will be posted here and the lines will be updated accordingly.

Maple Leafs  
*(based on previous game)*

#### Forward Lines

Zach Hyman - John Tavares - Mitch Marner   
Andreas Johnsson - Auston Matthews - Kasperi Kapanen  
Patrick Marleau - William Nylander - Connor Brown  
Trevor Moore - Frederik Gauthier - Tyler Ennis

#### Defence Pairings

Morgan Rielly - Ron Hainsey  
Jake Muzzin - Nikita Zaitsev  
Jake Gardiner - Travis Dermott

#### Goaltenders

Frederik Andersen  
Michael Hutchinson

Judging by the use of Petan as a fill-in, Hyman is just taking the skate off, not the game:

> Hyman skipped practice on Saturday before playing in Game 6\. And he spoke with the media yesterday after the [#Leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Leafs?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) team meeting. Would expect he’s just maintaining, but will confirm after skate.

There’s not much more left to say, is there? It’s a one game win-and-you’re-in event. There’s no more time for strategising, analysing, and forecasting.

This is it. Just play to win.
