VII. Texas Stars (AHL) Discussion

[MetalGodAOD*]

God I love Ritchie.

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

And hate Nihlstorp

 

[Bluesoma]

And a missed slash lead s to glennie going for a new stick making it 4 ON 3 AND leads to another Marlies goal.

 

[Primetimey*]

What a goal!

 

[piqued]

Wow this one has gotten crazy.

Ranford drives straight down the slot with token resistance and then Mueller cleans it up.

Morin reminds me of Ribs where he gets exponentially better when you make him mad.

hahaha "Such a long blast...it's...like...any time now." Very professional commentating.

 

[Bluesoma]

Great save by Nihlstorp!!

 

[piqued]

OK, now there's a save. Texas gives up just a glorious chance again for Toronto to get yet another equalizer.

 

[piqued]

Nemeth is going to kill someone.

 

[OttMorrow]

Wow! Fun period to watch. Good showing from the prospects so far.

 

[piqued]

hahaha "Such a long blast...it's...like...any time now." Very professional commentating.

Haha yeah you could tell they're starting to get bent out of shape now that Toronto is facing some real competition. I do appreciate though that they know how to pronounce everyone's names and seem to know a bit about them, something most NHL announcers can't be bothered to learn.

 

[Alistar]

Just got to clean up our own end and we're golden.. Either that or just play the entire 3rd period in their end

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Let's go boys.

 

[Bluesoma]

Nemeth is going to kill someone.

I'm going to miss that Swede.

 

[OttMorrow]

I'm going to miss that Swede.

Miss him?

 

[Primetimey*]

2 - TOR Brennan, 20:00 - Roughing, 2 min (PP)
2 - TOR McKegg, 20:00 - Roughing, 2 min
2 - TEX Nemeth, 20:00 - Roughing, 2 min

 

[Bluesoma]

Miss him?

When he's up in Dallas instead of down here.

 

[piqued]

Apparently that was Glennie's 26th goal of the playoffs according to the LeafsTV onscreen graphic. The Legend lives.

3rd underway.

 

[BigG44]

Wait a second ... how in the heck are the Leafs broadcast giving TOI stats?

 

[BigG44]

Hat trick almost ... wow.

 

[piqued]

Ritchie could've had the hat trick there. Great setup to him on the doorstep. Excellent exploiting of the Marlies being down 2 men with the broken stick.

 

[OttMorrow]

When he's up in Dallas instead of down here.

Ah. Gotcha. I wanna take Jokipaka from you too! Looks good out there tonight.

 

[BigG44]

Smithson isn't NHL quality anymore ... but he's still pretty damn good on the dot.

 

[Bluesoma]

Ah. Gotcha. I wanna take Jokipaka from you too! Looks good out there tonight.

He's better now but you don't want him up yet. Three goals against were from his turnovers.

 

[BigG44]

He's better now but you don't want him up yet. Three goals against were from his turnovers.

Other than Nemeth, no defender seems ready for Dallas.

Next year will be huge. Regardless of what happens with Desjardins, they have to know they have a damn good guy down there to mentor the D. Their development will be pivotal for Dallas to turn a corner.

You'll likely have Oleksiak, Klingberg and Bystrom there as top prospects as well as potential depth guys like Jokipakka and maybe Vance.
