Wild @ Leafs - Mar. 3rd, 7:30pm - 7:30pm - SNO, Fan 590

Anyone else growing to like Marincin's game quite a bit? Not in a "major part of the future" way but in a "sure as hell worth a 4th round pick" sort of way.

I was thinking earlier in the game that he's really impressed me on the PK. I can't remember if he was getting many minutes there when Phaneuf and Polak were on the team (guessing not), so it's nice that those moves gave him an opportunity to have a larger role there.

I sir.  Honest to God, I was just wondering what others thought about him and then you posted this.

Last 5 games he's played anywhere from 18:14 to 25:13 and I thought he's looked pretty reliable doing it.

I think in the first intermission they showed the defense pairings and then somebody said that maybe only 2 of them would be on the team in September.  I get their point but that seemed a bit extreme.

Yeah, that was Healy. So, you know.

I dig it. We can cheapo contract him for a couple of years before bumping him for a pick.

 

[Deebo]

3-0 oilers after 2.

Ah.  Nuff said.

Yeah, maybe. But if he's cheap he might be a good bottom pairing guy for sometime. Float like a 4 year/8 million dollar offer maybe.

And when he played with Rielly on the top pairing for a bit there I thought he more than held his own. It's not a role he would ideally be in but you could say the same about Hunwick.

 

[McGarnagle]

3-0 oilers after 2.

Hmm, that would put them 5 points up with 3 games in hand for the leafs. Starting to look "good".

 

[Kin]

I guess hand in hand with the no beard policy is assembling a team full of players who don't shave yet.

I 100% approve of the "if you can't grow a proper beard, you go clean shaven" policy.

Certainly doable. He doesn't have sexy production numbers, so cost will ever very attractive.

 

[Kin]

Oh come on. Since when can you not set picks at the top of the key?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Can't believe the Wild have no penalties this game.

 

[herman]

That was weak.

 

[Kin]

Yeah, well, if Sparks was 8 feet tall he'd have had that no problem. 

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Second straight game a weak penalty call in the 3rd in a tie game has led to the go ahead goal.

 

[L K]

2-1 Minny  I like Sparks but his limbs seem to be all over the place.
