Andy with the dandy Danish dish.

You are high tonight, right? 

Nah man this is me sober. I ate some Doritos though.

 

[herman]

Smart of Melker Karlsson to take out our shutdown centre for the last chunk of the game.

 

[herman]

Tonight?s Marner and Andersen hug is going to be quite a bit better than usual.

Oh Kadri you beautiful maniac

Ya he was lucky not to get an extra 2 there but whistle should have been blown long before that and how did Kane not get anything there?

Karlsson and Kadri both got double minors for... one punch each.

 

[herman]

This was very satisfying.

I would so like to see this team with Willy on it.

 

[ZBBM]

That was quite a win.  Buhbye losing streak at The Tank.

 

[azzurri63]

Great win wish Kappy would have potted another one. Had a couple chances to clear his zone but tried going off the boards instead of going for the net with a 2 goal lead. Playing it safe rather than icing it. Good for him great game. Andersen with another solid effort also.

[TML fan]

That was a pretty good game.

 

[ZBBM]

Good job fellow diehards.  G'night and see you later on today at the Dux.

I've probably said some version of this before but I think physicality, both being able to dish and take hits, is undeniably a good quality in a hockey player but where I think you run into trouble is in valuing it to the point where a player who otherwise wouldn't be in the lineup wins his place there as a result. Typically when we think of "physical" players as a real plus we think of the power forwards who are good enough to play regardless. The value of the 4th line bruiser is something else entirely.

That?s how I?d describe Marchment, he?s probably the premier power forward in the AHL. I don?t think he will be a star, but he strikes me as the type of bottom of the lineup player Babcock loved in Detroit and would be an interesting net front presence on PP2.

The development curve he?s been on is pretty spectacular and is a testament to the Leafs development staff, he didn?t look like a pro when they signed him.

Apparently some of you actually watch these west coast games and want a GDT for them? Weird, but I'll oblige I guess. Will add some game notes for San Jose in a bit.

Wimps.  Arn* will be here watching, the least you can do is stay up too.

* and WN29

Had resigned myself to not watching this one but my 4 month old decided he wanted to watch his first game too!

Good one for his first game!

The kind of player you really crave is someone Iginla or Wendel (when he still had a functional back) or Shanahan...loves to throw the body and muck it up, no hesitation to drop the gloves at the right moment, some decent speed and a wicked shot. Unfortunately those are so rare...

Sending good vibes from Michigan

Wayne Simmonds?

Marner's shot was unreal. He's done that a few times now. He is going to get PAID.
