Also, is Laich down with the Marlies? I don't think he got into either game at the weekend?

As of right now it sounds like he's essentially a Marlie on paper only. Nobody really knows what's going on there.

Whispers on twitter the Marlies explored loaning him to a SoCal AHL team so that he could be closer to his other half.

This is a great post.

You should consider writing for one of many Leafs blogs, your breakdowns of the specific techniques involved are very informative and better than most of the analysis on TV.

Thanks! That's a suggestion I'll take under advisement. I haven't played any hockey beyond floor/road and wish I had the chance to get into it more, so reading about the skills development and systems and analytics-based strategies is of great interest to me.
 
I watched a couple of Marlies games last season via the AHL Live website, and I'd like to watch more, but the prices are pretty scandalous. Pretty much the feed off the arena video, with a radio play by play over the top, and it costs $8 per game.

$199 to watch every Marlies game. $349 to watch every AHL game.

EVERY SINGLE NHL game costs $119 on their streaming service which has actual proper TV quality coverage and studios and all
 
If you were wondering about Johnsson's status: http://theleafsnation.com/2016/10/18/andreas-johnsson-answers-health-concerns-with-huge-weekend

Good write up by TLN. I've said this before, but Johnsson is a leopard on the ice. Not the biggest, not the strongest, not the fastest, but the one you'll never see coming. Slink and snipe.

What's going on with Brooks Laich, who has yet to play AHL game w/ Marlies? The latest:

Looks like he is having problems Laitching on.

Seriously this guy has more money than we all will ever make together, he is good looking, his wife a beauty and nothing to do but retire or do community work to stay humble.
Nice problem to have.
 
Well stupid Connor McDavid had to ruin it but for a little bit there the Leafs organization had players ranked 1-2 in scoring in both the NHL and AHL. Leipsic (12 points in 6 games) and Kapanen (9 points in 6 games) have sole possession of those spots in the A.
 
Marlies advance to 6-1-0 with a 4-2 win over Albany. They play again today at 5pm EST if anyone wants to watch there should be streams doing the rounds before the Leafs game.

Leipsic has a 3pt lead atop the AHL scoring standing with 3 goals and 9 apples for 12 points.

Kasperi Kapanen with 4 goals and 5 assists is tied for second place in league scoring with 9pts.
 
Bibeau developing in stellar fashion now!

Antoine Bibeau makes 37 saves for second shutout of season, Marlies beat Albany 3-0. Bibeau 5-0-0 1.40 GAA .951 save percentage this year
 
Nice to see.  He's going to have to do a fair bit to establish himself though.  That playoff run was killer from both Sparks and Bibeau.  The Marlies forward group was let down in a big way.

True, but they were also used to the offence outscoring their goaltending issues.

When the big gamers on offence lost their game, the fact that goaltending was a bigger issue than the regular season showed became evident.

Nice to see that Bibeau seems to have taken himself to task in that regard. At least so far.
 
Looks like a minor penalty, 2 fights, plus a 2+10 for instigating then a game misconduct for having a second fight.

Boisterous evening.
