Sheldon Keefe Drops a Major Hint Regarding Michael Bunting
The Leafs suffered a hard loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in game five last night, and as Sheldon Keefe tries to regroup his squad, he's hinted at his gritty forwards return to the lineup.
Bunting Returning for Game Six?
Michael Bunting was handed a three-game suspension for his hit to the head of Erik Cernak during game one of the quarterfinals.
Bunting became eligible to return to the Leafs lineup for last night's game five, but head coach Sheldon Keefe made the decision to scratch Bunting instead, opting to remain with his squad from game four.
After a tough loss last night at the hands of the Lightning, Keefe hinted to the media that Bunting may make his return to the Leafs lineup in game six.
The re-addition of Bunting into the Leafs lineup would give them a much needed boost of physicality and grit, but also runs the risk of Bunting putting himself in a bad situation again.
If Bunting can't keep his emotions in check, will he end up harming his team with his on ice antics?
If Bunting does in fact make his return to the Leafs lineup tomorrow, will he be the missing piece needed for the Leafs to finally get past the Lightning, or will he sabotage his team once again?
