IT'S MAPLE LEAFS GAME NIGHT! - Author: Julian Sanchez - Tags: #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:27 ### Three Questions 1. **How long will Carlyle stick with the new lines?** You can see below that Randy Carlyle has hit the blender in a meaningful way by shifting [Tyler Bozak](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71017/tyler-bozak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and JVR off of the first line and replacing them with Lupul and Kadri. Randy has almost never had Bozak away from Kessel when both have been healthy and if the new trio doesn't produce immediately, I'd be surprised if they get much time. 2. **Will Bernier bounce back?** Bernier wasn't the strongest on Saturday night and has been largely human this year. I think we all recognize that Reimer wouldn't get an immediate chance to bounce back but it's important for both goalies to be firing on all cylinders if this season isn't going to go down the drain before we hit fake Thanksgiving. 3. **Will the Leafs "compete"?** The biggest problem with the [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) this year is apparently that they do not demonstrate the only key to success that their coach can name. The coach isn't responsible for getting them to compete, the GM isn't responsible for getting players that don't compete, and the players are the only ones in control. So will they decide to bring it for the home crowd against a cupcake opponent?
