Looks like the Leafs are gonna try to showcase Gunnarsson tonight.

agreed. notice the pairing with phaneuf as well… not to knock gunnar… but looks like the saavy burke wants gunnar to look better than he is..
hope it works and leafs get an upgrade in their top 6.

Same defensive pairing as Saturday. I might be wrong, but I think Gunnar has been paired with Dion for all 3 games.
