So what do we figure the factors are behind Scrivens continuing to start? Eakins hoping he works it out? Pressure from above to get the guy work?

The Marlies are currently 9 - 6 - 0 - 1 Scrivens record is 5 - 5...Rynnas is 3 - 0 - 0 - 1 and Owuya is 1 - 1.

My first question is, why are the Marlies carrying 3 goalies? 2nd, why isn't Rynnas getting more starts if his record is clearly better? His save percentage is .938....Scrivens is sitting at .898.

I'm not asking these questions to say I want Scrivens head, I haven't been able to follow as closely as I'd like. For all I know, Rynnas starts have all been against the weak teams in the league. I'm just looking for some insight from those that have a closer eye on the Marlies.

Well, Rynnas was or still is injured, but what concerns me is the lack of workload for Mark Owuya. I am surprised that the Leafs are not trying to find him a job somewhere, just to play him. Sure, right now he is backing up Ben, but once Jussi comes back he cann?t endlessly just sit on the bench or practice. He needs to play.

I was unaware of Rynnas injury and I completely agree that Owuya needs to play somewhere.

Marlies are in Wilkes-Barre tonight to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins AHL affiliate. Ben Scrivens gets his 5th straight start of the season. Here's a bit of a preview from Marlies.ca: http://blog.marlies.ca/preview-marlies-penguins/.

The usual sites I go to for streams (atdhenet.tv and firstrowsports.eu) don't have a link for the game yet. I imagine they'll pop up closer to game time, so just check in there if you want to watch.

Appreciate all the links CTB. Are you posting one for the games this aft? I'd like to see Owuya get the start today.

Puck drop was at 5 but I can't find any links for it so far. That's unfortunate as it's one I would have liked to have watched as well. No radio coverage either as TSN is covering the Grey Cup.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Marlies need Rynnas back. The recent goaltending is killing them.
