Did Hirvonen play?

No

That's a butt end to the throat

No it wasn't. The butt end of his stick struck the numbers on Holmberg's arm. That was some gamesmanship by Holmberg that worked in getting a penalty call. We could use a little of that against our 2nd round opponent.

With the Leafs series over and looking like there may be a couple of days off before the next starts.... What are the chances they give Woll a start for the Marlies, just to get some work in? 5%, 10%?

Probably 0.

100% — he’s putting his helmet right into the opposing player’s face. I’ve seen Holmberg do this at the NHL level as well and I remember Keefe talking about it as well. He likes to make opposing players uncomfortable and I think it’s a great quality.

Woll has to be 100% healthy in case of injury to Sammy.

I don’t think he’s going to play another game in the minors again.

It’s be 0 regardless but the Marlies Game 3 isn’t until Wednesday anyway, while will either be the day or day before the Leafs round 2 starts

0% imagine if he got injured……

 

[LeafChief]

Would really like to see Hirvonen get into some games here.

 

[Magic Man]

Would really like to see Hirvonen get into some games here.

He's not as playoff ready as Cruikshank, Chyzowski or Slaggert. He'll get there.

There is no way the Holmberg line is a 2nd line so I assume it's a matchup line of sorts.

Truly baffling that they've decided Pietroniro is a better lineup option than Kral/Hoefenmayer/Villeneuve.

Unless there's some subtle injury stuff going on, this almost implies that Kral won't get a QO and Hoefenmayer won't get an ELC (that was already the trend).

Kral played NHL games this year. This is so odd

Yep... seem to be writing them off.

That lineup is putrid. Injuries and callups have destroyed that team. There donzo

They are tied at two in the third ( chyzowski and Clifford) and the series is tied at a game a piece. So, they are not that badly off.

 

[Leaf Fans]

4-2 now -Marlies Chyzowski with another and Holmberg have scored.

5-2 Holmberg with the empty net shorty.

5-2 final. Marlies up 2-1

won 5-2...maybe not ?

It’s significantly worse than it was. Glad they won though

Not surprised about Hoefenmayer if he is not providing offense.

Moore has had a special place in his heart for Pietroniro (a guy he used back in Chicago) even though he has sucked the entire year. Kral and Villeneuve are miles ahead of him. Now Kral may not be 100% (same could apply to Tverberg) and it wasn't like he was stellar when he was in the lineup himself... But he was better than Benn, Dahlstrom, and Pietroniro.

I get the impression that Moore wanted the most physical guys he could find outside of having two guys to run the PP (Hollowell and Niemela). Villeneuve is not soft, but he is also not super physical. Hoefenmayer has physicality but he is a bit of a liability in his own end and probably provides less special teams value.

Personally, I do not like that he is putting an ECHL caliber defenseman who should not be brought back into the fold next year over any kind of healthy Villeneuve, Kral, or even Kokkonen.

Any chance Murray could be loaned to the Marlies on a conditioning stint?
He could lead them to the Calder Cup LOL.

So essentially:

Pietroniro + Moore = Holl + Keefe?

I kid, I kid, and I will show myself out, but thanks for the insights....

Marlies win 4-1 and the series 3-1. They advance to the 3rd round.
