Marlies Talk

Wow, the AHL referees are really bad.  How do you miss that icing?

What a strange game.  The Heat are down by a goal with less than 2 minutes, have the puck in the Marlies zone, and don't pull the goalie?

Wow they were doing a "section toss" to the crowd and were pretty much handing out whatever they were giving to each person individually.  There is absolutely noone at this game.

was just coming here to say it ...wanted to run to the computer after the short-handed goal ..can't believe he picked up the hattrick  so ...GREAT SCOTT......and that would probably be the headline if not how well Scriven's played ...

can't believe the marlies won this one sure puts a lot of pressure on the heat tomorrow night

That Orr cross check/fight was in retaliation for an elbow on Deschamps?

Yup, pretty vicious elbow in the second, Deschamps did not return for the remainder of the second while he was assessed by the doctor traveling with the Marlies.  Played at least some of the third.

I thought he looked ok in the third so hope that means he's alright.

Scrivens with the first star, good call.
 
The Leafs need to bring in a 1A/veteran guy who can play 40-50 games if necessary at minimum for next year but you have to wonder if Scrivens is playing himself into a position where he can at least be in the running to unseat Reimer right now.  If James can't have a good camp, I think you have to consider Scriven's performance this year including the postseason.
 
Yup, but I think the worst thing Burke could do is go with Reimer and Scrivens next season. That just screams disaster. Go with one or the other and a veteran guy. My preference would be to keep Scrivens.
 
Was pleasantly surprised to see this morning that the Marlies pulled out a win.  I only caught the first period, too late to stay up.

Hoping my family gets me some tickets for this Saturday's game as a Mother's Day gift!  Love to go watch them close out the series if possible!

Go Marlies!

Although if they close out the series tonight - it's good news for the team - but your family just has to think of another gift.  :)

That's what I was implying.  20 games of solid goaltending from Reimer was great and everything, but he wasn't good in the preseason.  He wasn't all that good in the first 3 games of the year before Gomez took his head off either.  And then he was awful the rest of the year aside from a week long stretch of games.

I think you need to bring someone in to be the #1 guy next year and then let Reimer and Scrivens fight it out for the backup/1B role.  If they both suck, you pick the least awful one, try and send the other guy to the minors and if you lose you, so be it, else, consider a trade.
