Post-Game Talk: Traverse City tournament. Leafs finish with 2-1 record.

[SprDaVE]

Ovichnnikov looks much more involved today. Almost just scored on a great feed from Hirvonen.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Oof

 

[ULF_55]

Considering their situation Wings should be absolutely loaded with top end prospects.

 

[SprDaVE]

Minten has been the best Leaf player today. He's been really good.

Cowen invisibile compared to yesterday. He skating hasn't been as noticeable.

 

[SprDaVE]

Ovi is snake bitten. Can't buy a goal

 

[SprDaVE]

Bednar for the Red Wings made 4-5 huge saves. Leafs can't buy a goal right no.w

He was playing center last game .
More responsibility maybe.

Yeah I think him and Minten don't mesh well. Minten reminds me more of a Tavares. Seems good around the net and down low but he obviously slower than Cowen. It seems they are coaching the centers to carry it and have the wingers standing still to break in and that is not Cowen's strength.

Like asking Nylander to not carry with speed but wait for Tavares to give him the puck with pressure at a standstill

 

[HockeyVirus]

Cowen with the penalty. Not having a great game

Damn that shot was nasty can't blame Hildbeast on that

 

[SprDaVE]

Bednar standing on his head for the Red Wings. He's been amazing for them. Just made another couple big saves.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Cowen again haha. He is still really raw but there is potential there for sure.

Oh man that guy got absolutely rekt

He played center the first to games.
And you won't always have your a game.

Kaser for detroit seems very steady but not a top 10 pick

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs have been all over the Red Wings. Just couldn't score despite great chances. Bednar was stellar but now with their goaltending change, maybe they can cash in on a cold goaltender.

Still 2-0 Red Wings.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Villeneuve is going to play NHL games for sure. Kid has the skillset

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs FINALLY score after pure domination.

That was all Minten's work, but Mastrisome puts it in.

 

[thinkblue]

Nice shift..Leafs on the board

Minten is elite around the net. Reminds me so much of JT down low

 

[SprDaVE]

2-2 lol

Frasca from a great play from Tverberg

 

[thinkblue]

Tie game!

 

[SprDaVE]

Sova and Frasca have been very solid.

Frasca in particular seems like he could be a good depth Marlies player.

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs have 20 shots alone in the 2nd period. They've been great.

 

[Gilmour1996]

why isn't Knies playing?

 

[HockeyVirus]

booo

why isn't Knies playing?

Too dominant they are trying to make the game more fair

 

[SprDaVE]

Wings get a break and a goal. Bad defensive coverage on the rebound there. 3-2
