2018-2019 Toronto Marlies Thread: Hail to the Champions...and Onwards!

Rosen looked pretty good, best defenseman out there for the Marlies. He had some nice breakouts and an end to end rush that almost resulted in a goal. Borgman was just there, didn't really stand out and was paired with Subban who wasn't impressive to me.

Of the forwards, I noticed Gagner the most and he's not even Leafs property.  Marlies piled up a ton of shots but allot were one and done, not really a net drive or tons of rebound chances.

I didn't even notice Brooks or Bracco get anything at all, was disappointed by those two.

Kaskisuo was good in net for what it's worth although I thought he could have had the 2nd Devil's goal

(3rd time trying to post this, wasn't going through with Tapatalk and had to open a browser on my phone, hope this works

Just a bit of added context with Brooks: he was out for the first month or so with an undisclosed injury. Played 2 games early in the month and was out again with some sort of heart rate issue. So this was only his 3rd game of the season, and first since November 9th.

Great pics Zee! Did the arena fill up any more than that after warm-ups?

Not full by any means but I would say 2/3rds full. There was an entire row beside us that was empty, and the Marlies have blocked off 2 sections behind one of the nets. Sort of sad considering they're the reigning champs and tickets are pretty affordable
 
Thats about it, not sure he is going to make the bigs, Sandin however seems like a lock in the near future
Can't understand why Borgman is not taking the step forward, he likes to hit, has some offensive flair. I was hoping that he would pan out.
 
Liljegren is 19 and Sandin is only 18 years old; both playing in a high-level professional league. I think it's a bit premature to say either looks like a lock or not.

I know, I was just being funny with my bust comment and also I'm cautiously optimistic with my Sandin love.  So much can change for players from season to season, you never know who will make it or who won't.  I'm still high on both Swedes on the blueline, hopefully they can be a top 4 pairing on the Leafs for a long time.
 
No worries, I was actually responding to Highlander's post.

You see, I'm steadfast in my commitment to not quote the post immediately preceding mine. STEADFAST.
 
In:
Steve Oleksy
Future Considerations

Out:
Jeff Glass
Adam Cracknell

Separate deals, but essentially the same transaction.
 
The Marlies are tied for 4th in goals for.  They are also 28th in goals against (and will probably drop to 31st when factoring in games played).  None of their goaltenders have a SV% >.900

When two of your goaltenders have SV% around .860 its hard to imagine that is all on the play in front of them. 
 
Kazi was injured and I think is better than represented. Eamon is looking like a fighter, perhaps the save percentage tightens up or Marincin comes back to anchor the D...

The Marlies have lost all 4 Swedish defensemen for this next stretch (Sandin at WJC)
