Will Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren Play During the Playoffs?
Ready to rumble: Maple Leafs tough guys wonder about playoff role
The Toronto Maple Leafs led the league in fighting majors this season, often dropping the gloves early in a game to set the tone.
If not Murderers Row, Colton Orr (13 fights according to hockeyfights.com) Frazer McLaren (12) and Mark Fraser (9) can definitely leave a mark.
While Fraser pulls down a regular shift on the blue-line, forwards Orr and McLaren see more selective action. How much that will be in the playoffs remains to be seen.
Randy Carlyle refused to commit to any lineup strategies, but if last game, the first game both players sat out, is any indicator, at least one player is needed for chemistry. The Leafs looked disjointed and sloppy with a new mix of lines.
Today's lineup is currently unknown.
