The Toronto Maple Leafs put together something over the weekend that most fans were pretty happy about. A Rasmus Sandin-Timothy Liljegren pairing. The Leafs defensive prospects have had trouble cracking the lineup on a consistent basis however they might have both finally earned some proper playing time. Justin Holl was a healthy scratch and there's no guarantee he jumps back into the lineup. Head coach Sheldon Keefe has been impressed with Liljegren and had some high praise for the youngster. "It's just increased confidence. Confidence when he goes into battles, when he's closing in coverage, with the puck in the offensive zone."
"It is difficult when you're coming in and out of the lineup and sitting for long periods. We recognize that. I feel like he's earned another opportunity to stick in."What do you think of Keefe's comments?
