Recalled/Assigned: Marshall Rifai called up.

[Hellcat]

Throughout this season, Rifai has spent time playing all throughout the Marlies defense, whether it's top pair, second pair, or on the bottom pairing. He's a strong player who uses his skating to gain advantage on his opponent. Rifai also cares for his teammates immensely, doing whatever's needed to protect them.

"His skating is world-class, he's a competitive guy, he has incredible passion for hockey, incredible passion for getting better at hockey," Hardy added. "He spends a lot of time focused on his nutrition, a ton of time focused on what he's doing in the gym with his body."

"He's got some NHL attributes to him," Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said on Sunday. "He skates extremely well, moves around the ice, closes space very well. He's physical, a competitor, so there's attributes there that you really like.

Why the Maple Leafs Called Up Marshall Rifai and Why He’s Likely to Make His NHL Debut Against Blues

Marshall Rifai entered the organization on a one-year AHL deal with the Toronto Marlies in 2022, but on Sunday, he moved one step closer to the ultimate goal.

McCabe (game-time)
Lagesson (day-to-day, game-time)
Giordano (leave)
Timmins (mono)
Reilly (suspended)

Makes sense given his age.

On tsn overdrive they talked about a story where a fan in the prime seat got hit with a hat that probably came from the upper deck and instead of relaying it onto the ice kept it.

What's more offside.

 

[keonsbitterness]

That's a big no-no.

Pretty f***ing ignorant, some hats that style are $300, $400, $500 ... first thing I do is go up one level then punch that jackass in the head.

I am triggered by that lol. Another guy not as nice might have decked him. But you know, he was filming so. Basically bullet proof.

Also intrigued by this guy upon reading never heard of him until now (Rifai)

Could have also been a gift from his Dad before he passed on, or commemorative in some way. What a DBag that chubs was. I am sure he talked to someone and got it back at the end of the night, or will at some point.

Let's hope he got to claim it from the thrown hat collection.

I can't recall hearing a story of someone stealing a random stranger's hat to toss on the ice. Pretty dumb. Probably doing tons of vodka and cocaine.

Word to the wise: conceal your hat during the hat trick celebration.

This is a big HF moment. Where is everyone? We have a blooming prospect getting a shot on the Leafs.

I don't know, filming yourself beating up someone that threw your hat on the ice? Instant legend.
In court, I'd ask my defense lawyer to keep playing the video over and over just to humiliate the "victim" even more.

if phone, grab phone, delete video, smash phone

 

[al secord]

About time.

 

[Buds17]

Incoming hat trick for Marshall Rifai?

If not, this should still be a good and well-deserved opportunity for him.

 

[stickty111]

Well earned for him

 

[Havoc]

Dubas loves this guy and that love carried over to Tre as well. Potential sleeper on our hands here when multiple GMs like a player.

 

[aingefan]

Harvard kid, AHL deal to SPC, steady progression. Another good development story.

 

[Nineteen67]

Has to be staged.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Has to be staged.

I don't think so. You'd be surprised how many morons are out there.

Im not surprised, but I wish they kept recording as they were filling him in.
