Marlies GDT: ALBANY @ TORONTO - DIVISiON FINALS: R2 - G6: Marlies lost 4-1...

[MJ65]

Hopefully we are motivated enough to win game 7

 

[Pholus]

Well, see you guys Monday. Hopefully with a better result...

 

[KGL]

I agree. Bibs was fine....marlies just did not have it today. Nylander in particular did not look great

I wonder if there's some type of health issue there. He missed game 1, and has often looked off since then. Wonder if he's got some type of injury or illness.

 

[Mess]

Marlies really need Nylander to show up in game & 7 as he hasn't been a factor at all to this point with 1 goal and 3 points in round 2.

It's not just Nylander, where are Leipsic, Acrobello and Leivo for example ?

Leivo and Arcobello both have 8 points in the playoffs and are Marlies leading scorers among forwards and tied for 8th in AHL playoff scoring.

They've been Marlies best forwards in the playoffs.

 

[Mad Brills*]

These playoffs have ZERO impact on nylander's long term outlook.

 

[Menzinger]

Nylander still sick?

 

[Mess]

Nylander still sick?

He missed game 1 due to illness (flu). He has played in the last 5 games of this series.

 

[trellaine201]

What's with TO teams not being able to seal the deal . Marlies, leafs a few hrs back with Boston and raptors?

I do still think the Marlies will win game 7. Confident.

MLSE maximizing revenue! Raptors b2b 7 game series and now the Marlies.. Raking up the Stamkos $$

Points aren't everything, they haven't been as good as they were in the regular season, and both had 3 points in that blowout game and have only gotten 2-3 points each in the rest of the 5 games of the series. I think Brown has been the best forward , he's always trying hard and consistent even if he isn't putting up points. Soshnikov has also been better.

I'll add Hyman to the list of players who needs to show up.

But seriously, the commonality is that the toronto teams are also playing good teams. Most evenly matched series go to seven games...

BUSH DID 9/11!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never implied it was intentional.. Just saying they are maximizing revenue! More $$$$

I agree Sosh, Brown and Hyman (at times) have all played well.

Nylander had 2 points in the blowout game and only 1 point in all the rest (minus game #1 where he missed).

Its Nylander however that has surprisingly struggled and he should be the best of Marlies forwards and hopefully he shows up in game 7 because he has been coasting so far outplayed by many of his teammates. His compete level has been low and he looks way too casual when he should be playing with purpose. This series would be over if Willie was playing up to his usual level.

Was at the game. Marlies didn't play bad, the Devils' goalie stood on his head tonight. The first two goals kind of sucked the life out of the team, although they rebounded and generated some decent chances ane zone time. The fist goal will be huge Monday. This devils team is built to trap and not play from behind.

Scott Wedgewood stopping 34 of 35 shots was the difference in this game no question.

Hopefully he is not that good in game #7 on Monday.

I don't know if this series will have an impact on his long-term potential but I can't help but notice alot of Kessel in Nylander, specifically how he doesn't really compere for the puck, especially when the other team has it. He is too casual at times I find.

Babcock had mentioned that during a few post game interviews. He can get away with that in the A but with the leafs Babs will beat that out of him.

He does indeed, which is why people are saying he doesn't like like his usual self.

Different scenarios. Babcock called him out when he was tentative in one of his first NHL games. Right now he's not playing tentative though, he's playing as he's running on fumes.

He doesn't have a lot of power in his skating, his first steps are way off and he fades quickly in shifts. I'm pretty sure that he's still sick, just well enough to play.

 

[stavs*]

William doesn't look 100%. Something's up with him whether its illness or he's battling through an injury. Looked a lot more dynamic against NHL talent than he does now in the AHL playoffs. We won't hear about it until after the playoffs are over though

Not battling enough for the puck, 50/50 battles, has been an issue the entire season. That may not have been his style over in Europe but it will be if he wants to play with the leafs long term. Its a weakness (for now) that will need to be addressed over the next few years.

 

[Rayban*]

Not gonna be surprised if Marner blows Nylander out of the water next fall..can't imagine him being this useless even at the NHL level.

 

[Calacatz]

Holy **** this fan base is quick to jump to conclusions! We saw a sample size of what this kid can do in NHL and he will be just fine.. He has played a lot of hockey lately and battled through illness. Every highly touted prospect can't play like Sidney Crosby every night..

Nylander is a beautiful piece that will contribute nicely for the organization for many years to come..

Can we talk about the return we got from Washington for Winnick.. Carrick has looked great!

Yeah it's pretty scary to see how quick people are to jump on him. If he's shown how good he can be and he's part of our core that we're building, give him some slack cause MAYBE he could not be 100%.
