Recalled/Assigned: Marshall Rifai called up.

[Hellcat]

Whats ignorant is wearing a hat like this at an even where people behind you need to see

Have you ever been to a sports rink? you are sitting a foot above the person that sits in front of you. The double seater behind that guy was over 6 foot , there is no excuse for ignorance.

 

[horner]

Just watched a period I like Rifai

[Budz]

Played simple, strong and within his game. Great effort.

 

[al secord]

Didn't really notice him. Which is a positive debut.

If I paid hundreds of dollars to come to a game and had to sit behind someone wearing a hat like that, blocking my view, I would be pissed.

If I asked them politely to remove it and they refused, um, yeah…..

Good on Rifai. He played a really poised game.

The story has a happyish ending for the fellow.

 

[GoonieFace]

How did the Tubbs McGoo story end up in the Marshall thread?

 

[Enniskillen]

Is this thread about Rifai or the dude stealing hats?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Lajoie

 

[Buds17]

Kept things simple and wasn't a liability out there for his 11:33. Welcome to the bigs!

 

[Hellcat]

He had one shift that he F-ed up, that noticed, the good thing is he didn't get scrambly or lose his head, I noticed he was almost aways just outside the blue paint, noticed a couple of times he took the stick away from the attacker. All in all a pretty decent debut for a 5/6 guy. When he gets more comfortable I hope he shows the physical side a little more. I think he knew going for the big hit can sometimes open up lanes for the attackers, I think he smartly played it safe.

When is the last time the Leafs D has had 3 guys from Quebec on it. When's the last time the Leafs have had 3 players from Quebec period????

 

[namttebih]

To answer my own question, in 91/92 they had 4 players. Marois, Potvin, Louiselle and Larose.

 

[ACC1224]

With a name like Marshall Rifai, how is this guy not a running back?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I'm sorry to hear about McCabe, but this is Rifai's time.

[horner]

Throughout this season, Rifai has spent time playing all throughout the Marlies defense, whether it's top pair, second pair, or on the bottom pairing. He's a strong player who uses his skating to gain advantage on his opponent. Rifai also cares for his teammates immensely, doing whatever's needed to protect them.

"His skating is world-class, he's a competitive guy, he has incredible passion for hockey, incredible passion for getting better at hockey," Hardy added. "He spends a lot of time focused on his nutrition, a ton of time focused on what he's doing in the gym with his body."

"He's got some NHL attributes to him," Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said on Sunday. "He skates extremely well, moves around the ice, closes space very well. He's physical, a competitor, so there's attributes there that you really like.

Why the Maple Leafs Called Up Marshall Rifai and Why He’s Likely to Make His NHL Debut Against Blues

Marshall Rifai entered the organization on a one-year AHL deal with the Toronto Marlies in 2022, but on Sunday, he moved one step closer to the ultimate goal.

Leafs management really likes this guy. Apparently his work ethic is impressing them a lot

I am happy for Myers. I hope he and Rifai help the Leafs. I suppose I'm most excited about our depth being injected when injuries occur. Relying on Liljegren to find his game was hard to watch. Plus I always felt like so many unbalanced leaf haters tried to dunk on our prospect depth. A very shallow/naive analysis of hockey organizations is what many do...they are not...elite.
