Michael Bunting’s replacement was on the ice for the Toronto Maple Leafs overtime winner on Monday night and as a result, Bunting better not play Game 5.
If Sheldon Keefe and the Toronto Maple Leafs think Michael Bunting should play in Game 5, everyone should be get fired. I know that he’s a two-time 20-goal scorer and his feisty attitude and fresh legs could be beneficial to the line-up, but we’ve already seen how detrimental he can be.
His style of play didn’t help in Game 1 and there’s no reason to insert him into the line-up when the Leafs have a three-game winning streak.
