Marlies GDT: Marlies Calder Cup Champions!!!!

[Canada4Gold]

You know you're a pretty great team when you face the 2nd and 4th best teams in the league standings back to back and sweep both series.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Yes he does. Just like how that one poster keeps shots at Babcock in a Marlies thread, when there is no reason for that nonsense
Johnsson is amazing. Babcock is a big reason why.

the biggest reasons for Johnsson being this good are Johnsson himself and the Marlies team + coaching staff. Babcock is really not responsible for his development at all

 

[stickty111]

HAHAHAHA the Babcult is really trying to give Babcock the credit for Johnsson, my loooord

More like Dubas is saying to Babcock "SEE! We should've had Johnsson in over Komarov since game 40 instead of waiting until Komarov got injured to give him a chance"

Hahahaha the Babhate group is bringing up Babcock in a Marlies thread. Wow.
More like Babcock is saying to the players blameless fans, see "Johnsson needed some time in the AHL, and now is a star at this level" Thank you Mike

You're literally the first person in this thread to bring up Babcock. Truly embarrassing. I'm not arguing with someone this lost.

Back to back sweeps, **** yeah

A dominant first line, depth for days underneath it and 3 fantastic D pairs with a quality starter will take you a bloody long way

Johnsson being a golden God does hurt either

And the biggest reason why Leafs fans are terrible analysts, is because they are so insecure against a person that they bring him in conversations that dont have anything to do with him.

well I didn't, so there's that. You should be secure enough that you don't leap to fantasies to defend Babcock

 

[PromisedLand]

Sorry for your pain, but based on Johnsson's great play, Babcock seems pretty smart.

I don't even have to say anything. @MR4 just lays out everything perfectly below

HAHAHAHA the Babcult is really trying to give Babcock the credit for Johnsson, my loooord

Wrong smart looker, Promiseland takes shots everytime Johnsson does well. Truly embarassing that you believe Marincin should be in the NHL(how do you like them apples?)

We all knew that it would take Johnsson playing 3x better than Komarov for Babcock to reluctantly decide to pencil him in to the Leafs lineup. That is the way Babcock rolls. The very fact that was put in over Komarov told anyone who knows hockey how good Johnson actually is and can be.

 

[Magic Man]

don't forget about Grundstrom and Marincin too both have been pretty good.

All the games that I've watched Marincin has been pretty good at supressing shots and even shot attempts

Marincin may not make the Leafs, but he deserves credit for being a big part of this calder run.

 

[GKJ]

Congrats to the Marlies. They will win the Calder Cup. They don't make mistakes. Extremely polished team. I sense that Lou is going to be coming after Sparks in the off-season.

 

[stickty111]

Didnt say it was you. Actually that one poster should be secure enough that he don't leap to fantasies to criticise Babcock.

 

[PromisedLand]

More like Dubas is saying to Babcock "SEE! We should've had Johnsson in over Komarov since game 40 instead of waiting until Komarov got injured to give him a chance"

But is Johnsson a "Man"?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Congrats to the Marlies. They will win the Calder Cup. They don't make mistakes. Extremely polished team. I sense that Lou is going to be coming after Sparks in the off-season.

Thanks. Sparks is great and the Islanders need goaltending, but hopefully Dubas will be able to use his experience as Marlies GM to keep Sparks here

 

[stickty111]

I don't even have to say anything. @MR4 just lays out everything perfectly below

I dont even have to say anything that has to bring Babcock into everything.
Sorry your favorite goalie failed in game 7. Oh right Babcock's fault

 

[Boutette]

You know you're a pretty great team when you face the 2nd and 4th best teams in the league standings back to back and sweep both series.

The Marlies at this point are better than a handful of NHL teams.

 

[PromisedLand]

Marincin may not make the Leafs, but he deserves credit for being a big part of this calder run.

I still have hope for Marincin; he could be a late bloomer. The "tank" season he was terrific with Rielly as a top pair. I think he just lacks self-confidence; he needs to get his head in the game and believe in his abilities; he will be fine IMO

no u are right; Freddie told babcock to ice Marleau-Marner and sit Plek/Kadri on the bench for the defensive zone face-off in a 4 on 4 situation

That is HIGHLY unlikely.

This is fair. Its just annoying that one poster has to bring Babcock into this thread. Some posters agendas against him are cringe worthy.
But yeah im the "insecure one"

 

[Boutette]

Thanks. Sparks is great and the Islanders need goaltending, but hopefully Dubas will be able to use his experience as Marlies GM to keep Sparks here

We can always offer Lou Pickard. He's good enough to start for the Islanders.

 

[Magic Man]

To be fair to Babs, Leo was a pretty big piece of the puzzle before this season and Johnsson wasn't looked at like he is now to start the year. He eventually figured it out.

 

[stickty111]

no u are right; Freddie told babcock to ice Marleau-Marner and sit Plek/Kadri on the bench for the defensive zone face-off in a 4 on 4 situation

No you are right. Babcock told Freddy to be terrible half the series, and told him to callapse in game 7.

Spark's is still unproven and things can get a little hectic in the crease at times so I've got doubts about him going to the Islanders

I think he may be the Leafs backup though
