GDT: St. John's IceCaps at Toronto Marlies 11:00 am - Watch on TSN2

[montreal]

Huge game for the playoff drive vs the top team in the division (and who they could face in the 1st round although the standings are very tight 1 through 5) I'll be watching the game so will post what I can. Thought that it should get it's own thread since it's been 5 years since our AHL team was this close to the playoffs.

They could have really used Lindgren for that one. Hopefully Danis will be able to hold the fort.

[Pompeius Magnus]

Real physical opening period. Bodies are flying everywhere.

 

[montreal]

Friberg! on the breakaway. Unassisted. 1-0 lead late in the 1st. Hudon had a good chance earlier but not much else has happened.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Things are getting real gritty. I kinda dig it, not gonna lie .

 

[tresHabs]

Nice goal by Freebird...made me think of that trade so I went and looked up Tokarski's stats for this season. He's 16-7-1 with Anaheim's Gulls, not too shabby

not used to ahl schedule, is this a common thing 11am on weekday?

It must be a special School day game

 

[montreal]

Hudon! From Scherbak, Terry

 

[ottawa]

What a weird time for a game. Are 11am games normal?

 

[montreal]

It must be a special School day game

correct

 

[tresHabs]

Hudon! From Scherbak, Terry

 

[Bloumeister]

Nice goal by Gauthier

 

[montreal]

that hurts. too bad as both the IceCaps and Danis were playing really well since taking the 1-0 lead.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I assume the game is so early since it's one of the school days where everyone in attendance is from the surrounding schools?

Anyway, go Ice Caps.

 

[c3z4r]

Why is this game played at 11am on a Tuesday?

edit: nvm saw it was a school day game

 

[Runner77]

Do you really want the Caps to win this knowing it would help Lefebvre keep his job?

 

[montreal]

DLR goes for a swim on that play, tied up 2-2 late in the 2nd

 

[SquiddFX]

Freddie the GOAT only has 4 goals this season? Remember when Leaf fans said he was better than McCarron

 

[The Nightman]

Redmond is freaking awful

 

[SquiddFX]

That was awful to watch defensively...

 

[montreal]

well that stinks. not surprised though, I wonder if they even work on defensive zone play, cause they often are so terrible at it all season long.

Lefebvre is great.. rabble rabble rabble
