He should play the Holl power play!

[Ziggdiezan]

to be fair he was bleeding

Ya but the elaboration was comical and I was soccer

 

[shaner8989]

Kappy and Dermott need to stay 100%

 

[DarkKnight]

Komarov has had a good game.

He is an awesome fourth liner, elite. Savage on the PK, great checker, energy, can skate, ideal!

 

[TMLeafer]

Andersen is bored.

Let Komarov's line play the last 6 mins straight.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Kappy is so fun to watch. Great set of wheels and hands.

 

[saltming]

Holl-y smokes!! Can we stop this Holl Holl word play?

 

[Bullseye]

The Isles are invisible in the neutral zone, we are just full speed all night, but of us, bit of them.

Maybe they should hire Guy Boucher.

 

[firstemperor]

The Kadri line now has one dynamic speedster that can generate speed through the neutral zone -Marner

And the 4th line- Kapanen

Makes an incredible amount of difference

 

[The Examiner]

we should target Galchenyuk imo

Genius move. No more Marner or Nylander on the 4th line.

 

[PromisedLand]

looks like dads brought in some serious luck here. Just carry the dads for the rest of the season

 

[Liferleafer]

Yup he just has such high hockey IQ and the the ability to keep his head on a swivel at all times even when puck handling at speed. The signs of a great two way defender

People have been blasting me on the trade forum for not wanting to deal Dermott+ for an older guy. Kid looks legit.

 

[Menzinger]

Tonight’s yet another great example of “play the kids and good things happen”

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Lets hope they get some momentum from this game. This is what this team is capable of when all cylinders are firing.

 

[Marner]

Unless a serious setback happens I see no reason to doubt him at this point. He’s also been very good this season and likely not been talked about enough, especially given he’s doing this well as a 18 year old but it’s a testament to how well the Marlies as a whole have done and how well the management group has protected them

It helps too that he's not our only prospect. I really believe that was (a small) part of the problem in years past. Every prospect was expected to be the savior of the franchise, an awfully big load to put on an 18-year-old's shoulders. Now they can develop away from the spotlight as the Big 3 attract most of the attention. Same thing with UFAs... if you were a star player in yesteryear, why would you come to Toronto and be expected to carry the entire team on your back? Even McDavid can't do that, as we see in Edmonton. Now that there's a support cast in place, plus a legit superstar in Matthews, it wouldn't surprise me if guys like Tavares or Doughty really do give serious thought about signing here (apparently Stamkos did before ultimately deciding to stay in Tampa).

Agreed, the Marlies in my opinion were the absolute PERFECT scenario for Liljegren this year. anyone who thought him going back to Sweden was a better scenario for him this year could not be more wrong.

By the time he makes it, probably mid-late next year, he could really have the type of Impact that Dermott has

Shut the Holl up!

 

[The Kessel Run]

Agreed and he can play his dump with a speedster like Kap retrieving the puck.

 

[TheProspector]

P.S. I wouldn't get tooo excited, given the rest differential between the teams tonight.

You can say it...but Dermott going to stop.

 

[Cleetus]

greiss has had over 100 shots on him the last 2 games, poor guy has faced more rubber than the trans canada highway.
