Toronto Marlies

“Will he or won’t he” season has come early this year in just another sign of climate change.

The verdict on Duszak as an NHL talent is currently a question mark, but he’s done everything he can to impress heading into the AHL.

It’s a July news bonanza as the Leafs add all sorts of players.

From Freddy Andersen to Maksim Zhukov.

If, when, and where each of these guys fits into the Leafs plans.

Looking at all the options the Toronto Marlies have at forward at this point of the summer.

The Pittsburgh and Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguin is a traditional fourth-line tweener.

They might be destined for St. John’s, given the Marlies crowded blueline.

The homestands, the road trips, and the new faces.

The Marlies retain the better Gudbranson.

The Marlies add a vet to a young dressing room.

The Growlers have their best forward back, along with a new defenseman and goalie

Rubins, M. Bradley, Ferguson, O’Brien, and Pooley all get contracts.

Let’s hear from the prospects.

The squeeze is on, and yet the NHL roster isn’t full yet. Meanwhile, the AHL roster is thinner than ever.

The Marlies sign a small centre with lots of connections to the Leafs organization.

One of the more obvious moves of the summer happens early.

The Marlies drop the Eastern Conference Finals 4-2 in a game typical of the series.

The Marlies are down 3-2 in their Conference Final series after a big loss on Friday.

Four primary points, including a hat trick, in a 4-3 overtime win? Yeah, that’s a pretty big game.

The goaltending and power play that were once hot, are now not.

Game 1 was great. Game 2, not so much.

There’s hockey all over the place and lots of Leafs prospects and players are on the ice.

Cue the spidermen pointing at each other meme.

Keefe’s Marlies focus on process and get rewarded yet again.
