Marlies GDT: Marlies Calder Cup Champions!!!!

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

i'm very impressed by the Marlies being so good at churning out NHL talent while also remaining absolutely dominant. What a team

 

[Kiwi]

AAAA player.

I'm bitter he can't translate this to the next level, it would solve a lot of problems

Still haven't lost a game since Johnsson + Dermott came back for game 5 of the first round. I can't even imagine if Kapanen had come back too.

 

[Liminality]

I'm just hoping they get out of this game with no shenanigans now.

Flyers fans were whining about the Toronto reffing bias the first 2 games, well now what.. ?

 

[SprDaVE]

And the Marlies still got a penalty. What a farce.

I was not at the computer to comment but yeah, I couldn't believe it.

I thought the 5 minute major to Lyon was a little generous but Lehigh Valley really just haven't played well at all in a must-win game.

Engvall's reach must be super obnoxious to face against. He broke up a couple of plays with his stick in a shift.

He's been really good. I think we might see him up with the Leafs late next season, like Johnsson this year.

 

[Liminality]

16 shots against?

 

[stickty111]

Johnsson is just a great player. Babcock must be smiling "see I told you he is really good". As more games go on, the more Babcock's developmental plan is looking right.

This better be our 4th line next year:

Grundstrom Aaltonen Johnsson

 

[Boutette]

This better be our 4th line next year:

Grundstrom Aaltonen Johnsson

That's probably our third line. Or one of our 3A/3B lines.

I'm not sure I've seen a goalie pulls anything that nasty since Tom Barasso broke Yannic Perreault's arm.

This better be our 4th line next year:

Grundstrom Aaltonen Johnsson

I would expect Johnsson to be the one to get the job out of camp next year.

Aaltonen is going to be in a battle for a spot, but could be given the nod.

Grundstrom is likely to spend some time with the Marlies before getting the call-up.

All 3 have been unreal during the playoffs though. It could make some decisions hard during the off-season.

 

[A1LeafNation]

That's probably our third line. Or one of our 3A/3B lines.

Hyman Matthews Nylander
Marleau Kadri Marner
Kapanen Tavares Brown

Which one is 3a because all I see are 1a 1b and 1c.

I don't know, according to a number of people on this site, even if Johnsson leads the team to the Calder Cup and wins the playoff MVP, he will still have proven absolutely nothing.

Alternatively, it could make for some very easy decisions during the off-season.

That's true as well.

A lot of variables at the moment, but Aaltonen is making a very good case for a spot with the team.

When are you going to stop crying?

You don't give a player like Johnsson a multi-million dollar contract after less than 20 games in the NHL.

I'm sorry your feelings are hurt but you are dead wrong.

Fair read. I expect Johnsson is penciled in as a for sure roster spot next year, Aaltonen could fight for fourth line center and Grundstrom will be given a long look, but would be a surprise right out of camp. And Dermott is top four next year, what a beast.

Boy you have a stick up your butt. My suggestion is to pull it out. You might feel better.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Johnsson was the best player on the ice again. He's been it the majority of times since he went down.

[Boutette]

Boy you have a stick up your butt. My suggestion is to pull it out. You might feel better. The kid has proven a lot. To dismiss it all with a wave of a hand is pretty silly. Especially since the Leafs have handed players a lot more for accomplishing a lot less in the past.
