The Toronto Marlies have a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Semi-finals and look to deliver a “kill shot” to a team that had their number at the end of the regular season tonight in Abbotsford. The Marlies started the series well in game 1, but had a tough time beating Abbotsford’s goaltender, Danny Taylor. Once the Marlies were able to crack Taylor, The Marlies have had a relatively easy time with the Heat in this series, easily picking apart a team that plays a very heavy trap system. Ben Scrivens has been the talk of this series and has played exceptionally well.

Line up notes

Jesse Blacker is back in the lineup, replacing Matt Lashoff. On forward, David Broll is out, Kelsey Wilson is replacing him. Joe Colborne is still out with a bad finger injury to his middle finger.

Abbotsford Heat’s top regular season and playoff producers, Kris Kolanos, is back in after being a health scratch over ‘internal issues’. That could be an interesting story to follow.

Jon Abbott and Bob McGill recap game four, and look ahead to tonight’s game on LeafsTV. The game will also be broadcast on am640.

    Me too . Maybe a change of scenery would be good for him. Looks like he could be the odd man out now that Schenn,Couterier.Read and Simmons are making such a big impact.

    Philly is probably going to find that they have much less cap space than they imagine moving forward. I cannot imagine that Bettman is going to let Pronger’s contract sit on LTIR for 7 years, knowing full well his career is over. By rights, that 5 million should stay on their cap until the conclusion of his contract.
    -
    Also, Philly has only one right sided defender, so not sure adding Suter is really their fit. Makes more sense that they’d trade JVR+ for Weber.

    If you were Poille and could only sign one who would it be . Weber or Suter? I kinda doubt Weber leaves Nashville unless he wants out

    Another step forward for all of the @torontomarlies development. Huge effort in overtime is rewarded with a series win. #Marlies#truegrit

    Weber makes way more sense for them but he will cost a TON more to acquire Suter might even be free as a UFA

    RD are more scarce and Weber is the captain so I pick Weber. Its entirely possible that neither will want to stay in Nashville though

    Goalies are the story of the playoffs yet Quick was drafted 73rd, Holtby 93rd, Smith 161st and Lundqvist 205th. Exception: Brodeur 20th

    They had no problem doing it for Pronger. My guess is, assuming they want Weber, they resign Carle, then do:
    -
    JVR, Carle, 1st, 2nd for Weber.
    -
    That kind of ruthlessness with Carle is exactly Homer’s style:
    -
    hartnell – giroux – jagr
    schenn – briere – simmonds
    talbot – couturier – voracek
    wellwood – rinaldo – read
    (shelley)
    -
    timonen – weber
    meszaros – coburn
    grossman – lilja
    -
    bryzgalov – bobrovsky
    -
    Fits under the cap, too…

    Good morning ladies and gents. Nice to see the Marlies showing killer instinct, led by the kids.

    Unless of course, like I said, Bettman eventually takes action on Pronger’s deal sitting on the books.

    Wasn’t it Strachan saying just yesterday that it’s common knowledge within the industry that he will leave next summer. That would be supported by the fact that NSH felt they had to force Weber into that contract last summer.

    Oh, but we have to get Bernier because he was drafted earlier than Reimer.

    Nothing official, but Marlies might not play again until next Thursday when Oklahoma City and San Antonio sort out.

    He was undrafted though, so his stats and achievements don’t matter.

    James Mirtle ? @mirtle
    Average age of Marlies team that’s now in Round 3 is just 22.9 years old. That’s good news. No point winning in AHL with an older team. >>> hmm didn’t some one post how old the Marlies were recently? All career AHLers if I remember correctly
