Prospect Info: Marlies / Prospects Thread - All seasons well under way

[Menzinger]

Toninato has looked good in the Gopher's games that I've watched. Can see him making the transition to the NHL. I'm starting to really like the NCAA as a development process.

 

[ScJeff]

McKegg/Brown line looking great so far in the Marlies Amerks game... 0-0 but have created a couple strong chances in the first half of the first.

 

[hockeygeek]

Interesting that Gibson got the start. I thought in camp that Sparks looked like his game had come a long way from a couple of year ago. It was shocking that he was the first goalie sent down. Now I'm wondering why Bibeau is sitting. I guess I'm just not that high on Gibson

 

[Lauro]

Taking advantage of the one week earlier clock shift from summer time here in Europe to watch Marlies and Leafs today I wonder who was the best of our three Swedish D so far in this young season?

 

[ScJeff]

Abott from Leivo!

And Sparks is playing great in Orlando, .966 so far.

 

[ScJeff]

Brown! From findlay on a nice 2 on 1. good wheels by Connor.

2-0 marlies

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Brown scores.

Lööv
Nilsson
Granberg


That's how I'd rank as of now.

Is the Marlies' PBP still done by the guy who sounds like he's got his nuts in a vice?

Ross, Biggs and Sparks all look out of place there. Even Knodel does. but he could stand another couple of games to show off his offensive abilities. Ross and Biggs may not have been the most impressive in the AHL, but they are still solid defensive players and have shown off their offensive abilities now. Give them another chance or move them.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Lööv
Nilsson
Granberg


That's how I'd rank as of now.

And Granberg may be an NHLer next year (or even this year if we rebuild). Says something about the quality of these guys.

Sparks was sent down because he was injured for all but like 1 preseason game. I think the ECHL was more of a conditioning stint than anything. Also, he gets to start in the ECHL, which Gibson has been the backup to Bibeau in the AHL. It's nothing to do with his abilities, because he, like Gibson and Bibeau, are all guys who can start and play well in the AHL. All of them could be good backups in the NHL some day too, if not more.

McKegg from an awesome feed from Brown for a SHG ona 2 on 1. Beautiful! Loov second assist.

GS:
Gibson: 5
Bibeau: 4

Gibson the backup from the ice or something?

Dineen may have a found a combo who he can rely on

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Johnson is 3rd in the SHL in goals. 10 goals in 18 games

Thx.


Brown looks good. It's nice to see Johnson and Brown continue their great play in the new season (or even new league).

Gibson: 5
Bibeau: 4

Well if you take things literally. On a depth chart, Bibeau is the starter.

 

[SprDaVE]

Nice game from Brown.

 

[ScJeff]

Well if you take things literally. On a depth chart, Bibeau is the starter.

Then why has Gibson played more.....

Generally I concider the starter the one who has started more games. Which would be Gibson. Its a 1A,1B giving 50/50 of the starts neither Gibson or Bibeau are the starter and neither is the backup. But if you had to argue one way Gibson would get the edge, due to the extra game starte.

 

[Highlander23]

1+1 for valiev mid second

 

[Sonny21]

2 goals for Dakota Joshua tonight.

 

[Prominence]

Nylander 11 pts in 8 games. 3rd on team for scoring. Pretty good stats.

 

[Shwaguy*]

Nylander 11 pts in 8 games. 3rd on team for scoring. Pretty good stats.

Leads league in PPG no?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Gauthier did not play last night, returned today. No points.

Thus far, 3GP, 1 point.
