All our babies are up how exciting

Oh Leivo was sent down as well? Then yeah I've no idea. I'd sit Marincin personally. We've had enough looks at him this season.

My first thought was maybe Martin Marincin is a healthy scratch.

Don't really understand the hate for him. He's being playing increasingly bigger minutes ever since Polak was traded and looks to be a permanent member given that he is really good.

I think Percy gets scratched.

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

Bringing up a bunch of kids this season will help the experience level of the team next year instead of jamming the team with first time NHLers.

 

[yubbers]

Clune slotted in?

Player To Watch: William Nylander!

Expected Leafs Lineup!

No Clue. Come back at 4pm

Did you mean: "No Clune"..., Cor..?"

Thanks as always, for the GDT..

​

HOLY CRAP...!

We get to see a whack of top Marlies in one game.. and I can't watch it.. (no cable)

Hope they score ten goals..., like the last Marlies game... !

Crazy, I might need to pick up a program.

 

[Kurisu]

Glad Soshnikov is getting a chance. Worked hard for the Marlies and didn't bolt back to the KHL.

This might be the first time Ive seen someone say Marincin is "really good". I would agree that he's been playing better than he has been, but overall I would say I have been completely unimpressed with his season, and thats coming from someone who thought he had some upside when the leafs acquired him.

 

[SEER]

Froese heals quickly I see.

I heard he has a broken hand ...and is expected to be out for the remainder of the season...

 

[SEER]

can this lineup be amended? Right now it includes Parenteau, Grabner and Boyes

Guess who's getting traded..?

 

[SEER]

Free Willy!

He has 56CF% in 40 games. To me he our Hjarlmasson.

 

[The Examiner]

I didn't think Carrick would be in tonight but he appears to be. Cap friendly still has him in the minors but I guess they aren't perfect.

I honestly thought that it was a slip by Babcock and he was just listing off the new players. He did say he couldn't keep up with it all.

 

[SEER]

Since the tweet says .."Carrick... expected to make Leafs debut".. I think this is Sam's brother.., Connor..?

Really liked watching him, in the AHL...

 

[Liferleafer]

I'll pick up on it if I can hear you. What section?

Come home Stamkos clap clap clapclapclap

120...row 12

It's not his brother. I'm pretty sure they don't have any relation despite sharing a last name.

Sam's brothers are Jake, Josh and Trevor.

Trevor Carrick plays for Carolina's farm team. Josh is still in the OHL. Jake is not playing pro hockey.

 

[FlareKnight]

This is going to be a game to see . Lightning vs Marlies.

At the very least will be fun seeing some of the future pieces playing an NHL game. Will be a tough game, but the energy should be great

Near the benches. I'm about a kilometer away in 323.
I'm sure I'll hear you.

He is "on loan" to the Marlies.

LOL...i'll be the drunk guy in my Signed Wilf Paiment #99 Leafs jersey.

I'll be the guy yelling "Paiment, sit down"
