Marlies with epic level meltdown in Laval tonight. Up by 2 goals with 9 minutes left...lose by 2 goals. This organization sucks.

It wasn't all on him. The entire team panicked under pressure from the last place team...the coaching on down is suspect, as per usual with MLSE.
The scary thing is that there isn’t a single prospect including Robertson who looks like they could make difference with the big club.
Robertson would 100% be playing better than Domi and Bert right and maybe even Knies for that matter .

Really? I came in here to say that we should be calling him up. I don't know how you look at that shot and say he can't help the big club, literally better than any Leafs outside of Matthews and Nylander.
Forward group has struggled all year. Whatever snotty plan they had isn't working. Call up Robertson, elevate Knies and let's see if the kids can bring some energy and a bigger share of scoring chances.
Knies-Matthews-Marner
Robertson-Tavares-Nylander
Bertuzzi-Domi/Jarnkrok-Domi/Jarnkrok
Gregor-Kampf-Reaves
(I would also have Nylander with Matthews and Holmberg over Reaves but trying to keep things realistic)

I thought this was real for a second lol
Was wondering who the heck had 26 pts in 6 AHL games for us and why the heck are they not playing with 34 and 16

He's got an NHL level shot but no size or speed you need as a smaller player. I want him to be good but he doesn't really stand out amongst his teammates to my eyes.
Knies has been playing just fine. Dude has played less than 15 career NHL games...expectations should be realistic.

I mean it’s not like he is 25 I don’t see the point in writing him off as a lost cause especially when depth scoring has been completely non existent this season.

The 3 top goal scorers in the NHL right now are 5'8" , 5'10" and 5'11".
Robertsons physical attributes won't hold him back to be a good player. He's a fast skater as well. So I'm not sure any of that holds up.
Staying healthy is the #1 thing Robertson needs to do to keep progressing and that has nothing to do with his size. Players big and small get injured.

Cowan ties up the game late in 3rd
Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cowan ties the game then sets up the game winner with 20 seconds left.

Yeah, he's always falling down as well. More than I've seen with any other player.

Hildeby 26 save shutout for the first of his AHL career. Marlies ended up winning 5-0.
Marlies are now 5-2-2. In 4 of 9 games, Marlies have given up less than 25 shots, and in 2 of 9 less than 20.
Marlies record could easily be better too. In the first game, they lost a 4-1 lead in the 3rd and lost in OT. They lost a 1-0 lead late in the 3rd a few games ago and lost in a shootout. Yesterday they lost a 3-1 lead in the 3rd and lost in regulation. They have had 3 really tough losses but have responded next game every time.
They penalty kill is getting better at almost 83% which is 15th. The PP is a huge problem at 11% which is near the bottom.
