Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospects Thread

[Hustlr]

I know plus/minus and stats watching is shameful, but I haven’t noticed Harpur in any Marlies periods I’ve seen yet his numbers seem to be... decent... anyone have some insight for me please?

 

[horner]

Even this season Korshkov only has 2 even strength points in 13 games. Tied for 15th on the Marlies.

That's fine he's a big boy to cause havoc in front of the net.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Marlies are putting on a clinic.

7-2 only half way through the game.

Brooks being back is certainly helping, that line is putting up some points

 

[Lil Tuzzi Bert]

8-2 engvall has his second

Lol, what did Keefe do to them this week?

 

[trellaine201]

Texas is pretty awful though. A definite contributor today.

Marlies haven't been great either recently, so it evens up.
Plus you still need to beat bad teams.

Probably ripped into them hard for their iffy play on the road trip.

Their defensive support is absolutely ridiculous. They sometimes have 3 guys back helping either along the boards or to give the defense a safety valve but then they still are situated in a way where a quick stretch pass or a counter rush can easily lead to an odd-man rush. That was missing on the road trip, and for a stretch in the late 1st/early 2nd to the point where he took a timeout, but the Marlies have been playing like Texas hasn't even been on the ice since that timeout.

Texas has played like crap too, at least for most of the 2nd period, but there is a clear distinction between how the Leafs and Marlies are doing thing systemically.

His system is also apparently more offensively inclined, but the defensive details are still there.
He took a timeout? Wow thats really good. Sign of someone following the game.
One thing that doesn't get mention is the defence has played much better since firing Dineen, and hiring Davidson.

 

[stickty111]

Great, now Sandin is gone the rest of the game.

 

[SI90]

Watching the Marlies game and from the Stat sheet it looks like none of the 8 goal scorers have an assist and vice versa.

thought that was pretty interesting and cool.

 

[GoldenKnight]

Hi all, any update on Liljegren?

Ee

I Was at the game tonight, Texas is brutal and their goalies were awful as well.

Solid game from the squad. Like usual I liked lindgrens game very poised.

 

[Orfieus]

Hi all, any update on Liljegren?

any news on Sandin?

... I have tickets on Nov30 when they play in Scotiabank Arena and now my 2 favorite players are injured

 

[stickty111]

Hi all, any update on Liljegren?

Keefe said he skated today, which is the 3rd day in a row. He is further along then expected. He won't play tomorrow.

Looks like he avoided a serious injury.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I mean he looked pretty damn good today. Very active offensively and was great defensively.

Keefe knows how to use him to his strengths.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

I just have one request for the Marlies staff for next week, please don’t mess things up like you did with Liljegren’s ankle injury last year, where he came back too soon and re-aggravated the same injury.

I want to see Liljegren have three full practices with contact, at minimum, before they clear him this time.

Hi all, any update on Liljegren?

Keefe said in his interview after the game that things are looking “very positive” for Liljegren in terms of this injury, relative to how bad it looked initially. He is already back skating, so that’s a big plus.

Only thing that bugs me is he didn’t comment on all those “tests” they were running this week. I guess they must have come back negative but you never know, it’s possible they are inconclusive as well.

In any case, Keefe has certainly gotten everybody’s hopes up in that Liljegren has avoided a major injury, which would be fantastic.

 

[Rich247]

Of course they do, they were much better in training camp than guys who they kept and still run out there.

If Babcock didn't have something against bracco he would have been up there. No one can tell me that nick shore is better than bracco. Time is the perfect time for bracco to be up there with Mitch out but Babcock keeps running shore and time out on the forth line even though neither can score. Maybe it's time to see what bracco can do o not a very poor power play while Mitch is our. If Babcock doesn't get his head out of his a** and stop the I hate bracco stubbornness, he will be gone by the end of the road trip. Leafs are headed for 6 th place with a quarter of the season gone. Can't blame the team he was dealt this year as he picked the players to keep. Is there any improvement in our defence over last year seems we have given up the most goals. Bracco may not be great defensively but his offense may make up for that. Let's give the kid a chance or trade him so he gets his shot. Think he has earned it.

Hate spell check

 

[stickty111]

Abramov has tied last season's goal total in 38 less games

marlies may be near losing their head coach

I wonder who would replace Keefe when he is promoted.

 

[stickty111]

2 assists for Kral.
He is dominating as an overager as he should be.

Probably MacLean or Davison.

Maybe Babcock. He can teach the Marlies how to be 'gud pros'.
