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

[LaPlante94]

A little different every game, but I'd like to see:

Knies - Minten - Cowan
Mastrosimone - Hirvonen - Tverberg
Ovchinnikov - Kressler - Ellis
Lisowsky - Frasca - Voit

Puts the high picks together for fun, as they'll all be apart all season anways.

Chance to preview some Marlies combos through that middle six - could go several different ways with it

Lisowsky is the lone internal ELC push (expires June 1st), so I'll give him Voit to see if he showcase his scoring ability well against some strong Rookie camp competition.

I kind of want to see Tverberg and Ovchinikov together tbh. Would be 2 fast wingers and just would like to see what they could do with someone like Hirvonen. If it doesn't work out I might do something like this:

Knies-Minten-Voit
Cowan-Hirvonen-Tverberg
Ovchinikov-Kressler-Lisowsky
Mastrosimone-Frasca-Ellis

kokkonen being listed at 6'2" is a surprise, i remember him being like 5'11"/6'0"

Pretty interesting to have Cowan as the center and Hirvonen on the wing. Both are not really natural centers but Hirvonen has a lot more experience there I think.

For the people not familiar with him, I'd keep an eye out on Max Ellis. He's really fast and fun to watch. One of my favs on the Marlies this past season.

It's on but still with the intro music/page.

They just added 6 minutes to the timer.

I'm really interested to see how our guys stack up against such a great prospect pool. Columbus looks stacked

One game tournaments with a lot of rust, I wouldn't really take a lot from a game like this one way or another. I do think you can take a bit from the lesser known prospects though. It's a good way to get a first glimpse.

Nonsense. These guys have 20 minutes to determine if they are a steal or a bust in my eyes. Get playing boys.

I forgot Cavallin is a right catching goaltender. Pretty rare these days.

Nice to see some hockey back!

Yeah I think it's mostly fun more than anything else, but certainly a good time for some guys to get seen

great shift from Tverberg, Hirvonen and Cowan. Hirvonen almost scored

 

[mccabe2424]

Nice view of the netting

 

[HockeyVirus]

Knies is still elite holy

 

[SprDaVE]

Knies with a great zone exit, made a great play and almost scored with a good pass from Minten

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[HockeyVirus]

Mini Ovi that was pretty brutal defending my guy

 

[SprDaVE]

1-0 CLB

Weird play around the net, bounced right back to Pearson

 

[HockeyVirus]

Dominate the start, get scored on first good chance against.

We're back folks

What is this goaltending

 

[SprDaVE]

that was ugly from Cavallin

2-0

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Knies is on a different level. Hirvonen has also stood out so far
