Froese how could you?! Dubas created you!

 

[Deebo]

The recently signed Carl Grundstrom is getting into the line up for the Marlies tonight.

Andreas Jonsson with his second goal in as many games, Marlies trail 3-1.

15 powerplays between the two teams include the full 5 minute penalty for that hit.  Playoff hockey or just bad AHL refereeing?

 

[Highlander]

Any idea how bad Freddie is? Where was he injured,head or lower body?

 

[Highlander]

Just read it is Freddie's left leg. Here ares some comments about Grudstroms first game: " Grundstrom made his North American professional debut, while veteran Rich Clune got his first playoff action. Grundstrom had a goal and an assist, doing all the hard work on O?Reilly?s goal.

?It was okay, I was a little rusty, I haven?t played in a couple of weeks,? said Grundstrom. ?But I felt better as the game went on. I can play better.?

Gauthier requires surgery for the leg injury sustained and will be out 6 months (i.e. missing Training Camp).

Dotchin, Breaker of Leafs, has been suspended 3 games for his late hit.

I like how the Marlies/Leafs responded to this situation.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Johnsson has his 4th and 5th to tie it at 2 after 2.

 

[Deebo]

Marlies score 3 goals in 33 seconds in the final 2 minutes of the game to win 5-3.

I seriously hope the Marlies/Leafs take some proactive steps towards Dotchin next time we face him.

3-2 Marlies, series tied at 2.

I actually wouldn't mind off the ice even.  Does anyone know where he spends his summers?

 

[Highlander]

They have been pretty impressive in the last two games.  Kudo's to Kapenan, Johnson, Kaskisuo and Grunstrom who looks like the eventual replacement for Komrade Komarov.

 

[Highlander]

I would even go a step further to project Kaskisuo as the back up to Freddie next year or at least the year after.

I think Kaskisuo has played himself into the Marlies starter role. Backup for Andersen doesn't play enough. Give that to a cheap UFA signing and try to trade one of Bibeau or Sparks.

Kasimir had an .899 SV% in the ECHL this year.  He had a .902 SV% in the AHL with the Marlies.  I'm not sure that his .902 SV% in the postseason is much of an indication of a future NHLer at this point.
