Ummm, benching him for what game(s)? And it's not unusual for a team to respond well to a new coach.
I'm thinking about benching Freddie. Not sure how TOR is going to play after Bab's firing. What do you guys think?

Arizona has two straight shutouts too. I would go Kuemper and Vas.
Considering Keefe will get maybe one practice with TOR before the game, I'd bench Freddie too, although it's not like TB and Vasilevskiy have been lighting it up lately either.

I read that Vas is sitting tonight. Plus starting Andersen + Kuemper can guarantee you a win. I would do that.

From memory, I think coaches typically do very well in the first games.
This has a lot to do with players putting forth extra energy in the first few games with a new coach.
"Slackers" catch EXTRA heat if they can be identified in the game after a coaching change.
You will see every Leaf working a little harder than usual tonight... will have nothing to do with Keefe and everything to do with "being under the microscope".
I say 2-1 (OT) game btw ARI-TOR.
Vas is not starting tonight; that's confirmed on rotowire.
