Injury Report: Zaitsev on IR; Marty Marooch recalled

[ULF_55]

I wonder if the Leafs have any competent talent evaluators?

Marincin gets called up and the experts here are all over it, so someone doesn't have a clue.

Maybe he's being punished because they lost Saturday.

Sucks for Zaits, hopefully it's a speedy recovery. Like many have said it's a PK thing - why Marty is up. Like Nith said I think it's likely Borgman who rotates out.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I will never forgive Marincin for last year's playoffs. He cost us huge. Terrible dman.

 

[Cleetus]

this will hurt are already thin back end. hopefully he is not gone to long!

 

[Torontonian]

Why Marincin - they should give another chance to Rosen

Marty has been pretty solid in the AHL, if were being fair hes been our best d-man down there prob

 

[stickty111]

Well Jake has no more excuses. If he continues to struggle, then Zaitsev wasnt the issue.

 

[stickty111]

what the **** did Dermott do wrong
Holl should have gotten the call up honestly

Dermott got hurt on Friday.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Rielly Hainsey
Gardiner Marincin
Borgman Polak

 

[stickty111]

I hope Marincin never sees NHL ice with the Leafs again.

He’s not even a good AHL defenseman.

The 2nd sentence is just wrong.

 

[SprDaVE]

Marincin has been VERY good for the Marlies. Part of the best defense in the AHL. This gives us a good reason to FINALLY sit Polak and insert someone that can be more effective in Carrick.

We never should have signed Polak and should have just kept Marincin, even if he struggled in pre-season. But from the look of things he'll probably be the new 7th defenseman.

Anyone asking why Rosen wasn't called up, it's simple... He's been struggling.

 

[Halla]

That means Polak will be getting more ice time now. I hope instead they give Rielly an uptick in ice time and leave Polak at the same minutes. But now you have Polak, Borgman, Carrick as the bottom 3 D. Not good. As for the title, at first I thought "who the hell is Marty Marooch?" LOL

I think Polak stays where he is and Carrick gets paired with Gards

 

[francis246]

Dermott got hurt on Friday.

even if he wasn't hurt, now isn't the time to call him up. Not while the team is in a slump, don't want to ruin his confidence.

Hopefully Dermott gets called up when the other weak dmen prove they can’t handle the job

 

[MJ65]

Zaitsev is a big loss and I hope he is back soon, He along with Hainsey was literally playing every single minute of Leafs PK

 

[Stephen]

Zaitsev is a great talent but he's somewhat shaky when paired with Gardiner. It's obviously somewhat of a loss, but wouldn't mind seeing Dermott up for a cup of coffee either if he's healthy at some point during Zaitsev's absence.

 

[Cleetus]

Zaitsev is a big loss and I hope he is back soon, He along with Hainsey was literally playing every single minute of Leafs PK

I agree he was a beast on the pk blocking shots like a mad man, hoping for a speedy recovery!

 

[BayStBullies]

Marincin? Yikes. Can they just roll with 5 D instead?

 

[Trapper]

Rielly Hainsey
Gardiner Marincin
Borgman Polak

I don't think Marincin plays the right side. At least I think so. Not sure who Babs will put where.
What we're the practice lines?

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Marincin is probably the 7th Dman. And he can play both sides. If healthy, Dermot might have been a better promotion, but only if a LHD was injured.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Dermott got hurt on Friday.

i wasn't sure how bad it was. Still, we should be going with Hainsey - Carrick - Holl on the right in my opinion

 

[Kiwi]

I don't think Marincin plays the right side. At least I think so. Not sure who Babs will put where.
What we're the practice lines?

I can remember Marincin playing his offside with Rielly at one stage

His ability to move the puck wasn't great, but I'm not sure he can anyway

He's played the right side quite a bit in the past actually not well or anything like that though lol.

Should be a fun GDT.
A currently anemic offense followed by everyone's fav D inserted in the lineup. Quite possibly we run with 5 LHD and Polak is the only righty.
Have I harped enough on organizational depth at certain positions?
Fun times ahead.

I think there going to use Marincin as the #7D and play Carrick

The practice pairs Were

Rielly Hainsey
Gardiner Carrick
Borgman Polak

Although I wouldn't be surprised if Carrick is on a pretty short leash
