Prospect Info: 2014/15 Marlies/Prospects Thread v.5 - Now with more Leipsic

[Joey Hoser]

I'm not 100% on this, but I think a lot of it has to do with the rights for broadcast.

Buy the damn rights then. Who the hell else should be broadcasting these games?

If they aren't broadcasting the Leafs or the Marlies then why the hell does the station exist?

 

[HeroNtF]

On a separate note, why isn't Leipsic playing today?

i saw a tweet saying olli couldnt join leafs until franson/santo clear medicals. so same with leispic i assume.. i was looking forward to seeing him.

This is about yesterday's game, posters said Nylander was invisible, did I watch the same game? He was pretty decent and created a lot of chances and had very solid zone entries. I think some posters are expecting too much from an 18 year old in the AHL

I think people look at it as not a great score sheet game.

Nylander had a decent game. I remember 1 play where it was a 1 touch pass on a zone entry to I think Abbott (could be wrong) that led to a scoring chance.

He takes a lot of contact for a guy with a lot of skill, but knows how to embrace the hit and make a pass or protect the puck.

 

[p.l.f.]

Loov is going to make it
He's a good one

I'm not a stats guy, I want him to evolve as a Hockey player and he's taking small steps in doing it. People keep saying he floats too much and I don't really think that's an issue either, he does a very good job of keeping himself open at all times.

All started by a great forecheck from Biggs too.

 

[BertCorbeau]

3-2 Marlies now, Leivo had the second goal.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Those D pairs are just sad.

Just shows how important guys like Finn and Percy are
If they are in lineup, the D looks on paper one of the better ones in the league IMO

 

[BertCorbeau]

Brown almost scores

 

[carko32]

Why they had the same unit on the ice for whole 5-3 as they did nothing?

Really missed someone dangerous on point and also Nylander on side.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Rupert again from a sweet feed by Nylander!

 

[SprDaVE]

Nylander gets an assist on Ruperts 2nd goal. Nice vision there.

Yeah I was wondering that too. Abbot and Frattin were out for the full 5 on 3 while Brown and Nylander watched from the bench.

 

[mikebel111*]

Looks like Marlies have a sense of urgency after yesterday's performance
I like it

 

[Stand Witness]

Rupert is becoming a stud in his rookie season thus far. Excited to see how much he can progress.

 

[Joey Hoser]

I'm starting to dismiss the notion of Nylander not being able to use his teammates. He's got a few points from making quiet simple plays, finding open men and setting them up.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Leivo with a nice feed to Abbott but couldn't bury it

 

[Atomos2]

Its a common occurrence with Dineen coaching. Same reason they have slow ass Knodel or Mikkelsson bring up the puck on the pp instead of Nylander or Brown causing giveaways almost every time.

Rupert could carve out a 3rd/4th line role in the NHL. He has the skill set and tenacity.

Nylander needs to learn to play with more jam/intensity. That was a nice feed to Rupert, though.

Lots of **** disturbers in the organization now: Leipsic, Rupert, Nilsson, Carrick, Komarov.

 

[FreeBird]

Coaching change made a big difference for the Marlies. Spott was really good as head coach there.

Spott had a better team, Carrick and Leivo have been very disappointing this year, their stats are terrible for second and third year players.
