Marlies vs. Moose GDT - The Redux

Today's AHL matchup is being aired live on CBC nationally. Hopefully Glenn Healy isn't sitting in on this one. The Marlies look to continue their recent dominance of the Moose, as they have won 3 in a row over their North Division opposition.
The Moose have now only won 2 in their last 9 games, and are in a pretty serious tail spin. Their offense has dried up, and they don't seem to have the parts to fix it with the likes of Hodgson unavailable. Sergei Shirokov and Bill Sweatt lead the way up front for Manitoba, and Shirokov only has 1 goal in the last month. He has 9 assists in that stretch though so he's still contributing. Sweatt only has 1 goal and 2 assists in his last 10 games, so his dry spell may have more to do with the team's struggles. Pay attention as he may look to break out of his slump in a strong way.
Jonas Gustavsson gets yet another start between the pipes for the Marlies as Dallas Eakins looks to get his game going:
"I’m happy with the games I get here and hopefully I can bring it if I’m going to play up in the NHL. But right now, it just feels good to get a couple starts, play with the Marlies for a short while and help the team improve in the standings."
-Jonas Gustavsson after yesterday's 3-1 victory
The Monster is now 3-0-1 with a 1.17 GAA and .950 SV%. That's the highest SV% registered by any goalie in the AHL this season (admittedly in only 4 games). He's probably a bit beyond the AHL at this point, but it's good to see him get his confidence back.
We'll also see if Nazem Kadri and Joe Colborne can continue their strong play up front. After his goal and assist yesterday, Kadri now has 6 goals and 5 assists for 11 points in 11 games in the month of February. Colborne has cooled off on the scoring front, but he registed an assist on Hanson's empty netter yesterday. He now has 3 goals and 4 points since coming over from Providence in the Kaberle trade. The assist was his first assist in February, and his only one in the past 12 games. For a passing, skilled C, that's a little worrying, but if he can hook up with Kadri on the PP that should help his numbers out a bunch. Providence wasn't particularly intimidating from an offensive standpoint, but the Marlies lead the North Division in goals for.
Let's keep the push for the Calder Cup playoffs alive, and hope for another W against division rivals Manitoba!

He’s got no play-by-play experience.

I really like the PP unit of Kadri-Colborne-Voros.
They scored a nice PP goal. Colborne likes to set up down low, Kadri at the half-board and Voros in front. They just run give-and-go’s with Colborne/Kadri and work it back to the point too.

I was at the game yesterday. Interestingly enough, hardcore Marlie fans do exist. I was in the row with some guy with a Marlies hat, a Marlies flag, and a cardboard sign that said, “Go Malies! Go Malies!” He was really into the game, very engaged. At some point, someone pointed out to him that he had spelled “Marlies” wrong on his sign. I admit, I found it very comical to watch him look at his hat, then his sign, then his hat, then his sign. He put his sign away. I saw Reimer and Mueller jerseys. Had the double pork poutine. They even put me on the Marlietron. I had a Johnny Bower jersey and I flexed. All in all, I had a fantastic time.
And I agree with those yesterday who argued that the Ricoh Center is a little out of the way. It’s just far enough from a subway to almost make it worth driving!
I sat in front of a dude
that had a Marlies jersey with EVERY single Marlies player’s autograph on it last winter… he also knew all the Marlie’s girls that were wandering around the arena… they exist and they’re an odd bunch.

I feel like
the people that complain about it’s distance from the Subway don’t actually commute on the TTC particularly often.
I take two subways and a bus every day to get to work, and I spend over an hour a day on the TTC… I don’t find the Ricoh particularly onerous to get to. If you’re used to walking, driving, or riding your bike then maybe it’s an issue, but it really isn’t that bad.

street cars
on designated right of way really aren’t fast… and given how often the subway in toronto has issues, it really isn’t that fast. It has delays like 2-3 days a week now.
That’s part of why the subways are closed down this weekend, they’re building a crossover at College so more trains can go around the ones that break down.

MLG is two blocks from College… not even close to the 25 minute streetcar from Bathurst. (Bloor-Union is closed this weekend.) The Harbourfront streetcar is better (took that one after the game.)
I have extensive TTC experience, went to high school downtown and UofT downtown from northeast Scarborough. 10+ years of 2.5 hours/day on the TTC. I live on a subway, though I don’t need it to commute to work (work in the 905).

Also, people can easily fire their current consultant while here and hire another to continue with their process. The biggest issue IMO is that most people who would still be going through the immigration process have only been here for two years or less and therefore probably don’t watch AHL hockey.

I’m not 100% sure about that. There is a huge thing going on right now between the government and CSIC (certified immigration consultants union basically) because so many of the certified ones are corrupt. The government seems to want to take away a lot of the abilities of immigration consultants and make people hire actual lawyers.
haha they do that on Indian channels that air here too. It’s for people that have family that want to come here

It seems like hockey players have a lot of trouble gaining good weight with their workout routines. A guy I know in the OHL eats a meal every two hours to stay 6’0", 200lbs.
He’s probably not eating the right foods- not enough protein, carbs etc.

He is, it’s all high protein stuff; he is in really good shape, just all the cardio he does means most of the calories get burned.
then he needs to eat even more
and extra calories are probably fine even if they’re complex carbs… if he’s burning a shitload of calories it’s not like it’ll stay on his body anyway.

Do you really think
Reimer’s confidence is shot at this point? He knows he’s still developing… and he’s also aware of the numbers issues with the number of goalies the team has.
It’s not like he’s working in a complete vacuum with no idea how many other goalies are in the system… he’s going to be playing with the marlies if they’re in the playoffs for sure.

you're basically saying
the Leafs HAVE to keep him in net despite the issue around having Gustavsson and Giguere and the fact that he’s starting to play a bit less strongly (or a lot less depending on how you look at it).. all for fear of messing him up as a prospect?
This is a guy that got demoted to the ECHL to play for a team in another organization’s system because we didn’t have minutes for him in the AHL… then he’s been injured like 3 times in the AHL and come back to be a starter multiple times… I really don’t think he’s going to lose his confidence totally over a demotion back to the AHL.

Well Giguere wouldn’t walk until the end of the year so it doesn’t really make a difference. That being said I think Gustavsson would get claimed if he went through waivers.
