Prospect Info: Marlies/Prospects Thread

[Mara]

I am happy to report that Topi Niemelä played a game with zero serious defensive mishaps, and had an overall strong showing today (no points though) when his team won 3-0. Just felt like sharing after writing some strong words about his season performance up to now.

Curtis Douglas just dwarfs everyone.

 

[LeafChief]

They can't be serious with this AHLTV camera angle.

 

[JSn0w93]

Yikes the camera angle is awful for the Marlies game.

I was just about to ask..is this normal?

 

[Borschevsky]

Yikes. Gabriel

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Yikes. Gabriel

He has 0 puck skill.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Watching Gabriel skate reminds me of that famous Sasquatch vid from the 60s

Finally figured out how to switch to the main camera angle.

The Marlies are getting outshot badly in the 1st, just like the big club. I'm liking Gogolev so far and Ho Sang is such a nice skater to watch

? No, they're not. It's 10-4 shots for the Marlies. I'm at the game.

My bad I was picking up my doordash and turned it on and misread lol

 

[Borschevsky]

Looked like Semyonovs goal

Guess not. Seney

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Where is Brennan Mennel?

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

I'm not one to condone running goalies but this Berdin is asking for it

 

[SeaOfBlue]

The Marlies were in control for the entire 20 minutes. Manitoba had the odd cycle but none of their shots or possession was dangerous.

Fairly sure Manitoba's best playmaker right now is Gabriel.

 

[LeafChief]

Ho-Sang is a step ahead of everyone else.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Liking Ho-Sang, Semyonov and Robertson so far. Ho-Sang is not going to spend a long time in the AHL if he can keep up his play and show the professionalism he did in camp.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

LOL Robertson got a penalty for taking a sucker punch from Berdin.

Problem with Ho-Sang will be finding a role in the NHL he can take. He is not a bottom 6 kind of guy, and I am not sure his offense is NHL top 6 quality. You can tell he is a really good AHL playmaker, but translating that when he is not a good defensive player and doesn't really have anything else to offer may be difficult for him.

I see him as another chance at a Petan/Bracco, with better natural skating ability. Nothing really more until he shows he can do more.

 

[Knies iT]

Run Berdin, what an idiot.

Interfered with a forechecker like three times and now a sucker punch.

Then just gave a slash to one of our guys skating by. Gabriel needs to have a conversation with him.

I think he could fit in nicely if we decided down the road to have a third line that's more for depth scoring and then run a shutdown fourth. I think Spezza has it in him to center the third line seeing what he's been playing like last season and starting this one off. I could see him fitting in a forward line-up looking something like this:

Ritchie-Matthews-Marner
Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander
Bunting-Spezza-Ho-Sang
Mikheyev-Kampf-Kase

 

[supermann_98]

Ho Sang and Robertson have some nice chemistry, should be interesting to see who gets called up first

 

[LeafChief]

Ho-Sang and Robertson just connected for an absolutely SICK goal.

 

[supermann_98]

Beaty pass from Robertson and a nice finish by Ho Sang
