Marlies GDT: Marlies Calder Cup Champions!!!!

[Battle Lin]

would like to see liljegren at the point on the PP

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Marlies were the better team by far in the first but it's tied 1-1.

Guys this is on on tsn2 if you didn’t know

He does play the point on one of the PP units

 

[Kiwi]

That was a good period, the score doesn't reflect that but the boys look great

We keep playing like this and we're going to take some beating

This Grundstrom-Aaltanen-Johnsson trio would make a fine 4th line going into next season.

Would be very cool.

Does anyone know how Par Lindholm fares in comparison to Miro Aaltonen? Who would you give the edge to?

 

[Mikeyg]

Aj is on a different level than the rest of these guys, hyman out aj in and matty/nylander will be more productive

 

[Alerion]

Game management from the refs right now.

 

[Battle Lin]

good to see at 19 liljegren already looks like a good solid ahl player

 

[Battle Lin]

sparks solid

 

[Leaf Fans]

Gauthier and Greening have looked so bad this game. Engvall looks terrific though.

Gauthier looked good in the second. Hopefully he will continue into the third.

Just as Hyman was in the AHL; created a ton of room for Nylander and looked like a legitimate PWF in his rookie year w/ the Marlies. Laughable that people still criticize Hyman after his play against the Bruins. He's the last guy to blame out of those three.

Gauthier looked good in the second. Hopefully he will continue into the third.

The Goat always impresses me live. His hands and finesse are a lot more apparent when you watch him live for whatever reason. His speed has come a long way, too. Hope to see him as a regular next season, battling it out with Aaltonen/Lindholm.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Grundstrom!!

 

[Griffin76]

What a goal by Grundstrom. I can easily see him up with the Leafs next season.

 

[kk87]

Grundstrom is ****ing filthy

 

[PromisedLand]

f***ing crossbar

 

[A1LeafNation]

Liljegren looks NHL ready. He will get NHL games next season.

 

[Knies iT]

Grundstrom's shot is next level. He and Johnsson will be huge additions to this team in the near future. The Leafs need that Sharp esque player to take them to the next level.

Liljegren looks NHL ready. He will get NHL games next season.

Not even close. Still at least 1 year out from NHL action.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Not even close. Still at least 1 year out from NHL action.

Disagree

 

[Knies iT]

Disagree

Still soft on pucks, bad balance/falls over constantly when engaged, makes a lot of untimed turnovers, etc. Reference last game for example when he trips over himself un-pressured leading to a 3 on 1 late in the game which could put the Marlies down 1-0 this series if not for Sparks; that's a constant occurrence.

To his credit, he's more willing to engage physically than a lot of players his age, he just desperately needs strength. If you've watched more than a game or two of his this season i'd seriously question how you could conclude that this guy is close to NHL ready. Very, very raw.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Yeah, Liljegren needs another year in the AHL at a minimum. He'd be exposed bigly at NHL level. Loads of potential though.

 

[DarkKnight]

Liljegren looks NHL ready. He will get NHL games next season.

No he doesn't.

 

[PromisedLand]

ohhh man the drama. don't count that goal folks

 

[Sonny21]

Marlies need to wake up, they've been asleep since the 3rd period minus the 1st line.
