Morning Mashup: Marlies Preview!

Not really. I severely mismanaged my Wednesday night schedule, so your preview consists of: the Marlies play tonight. Against the Abbotsford Heat. At 10:00pm. Toronto’s 3-2-0-1 in 6 games, and Keith Aucoin leads the team with 6 points!

So, uh…here are some links:

-The Winter Classic will likely be cancelled on Friday. Because…you know “the stuff dreams are made of?” It’s actually that black slime Mulder and Scully spent 9 years chasing, and it lives behind Gary Bettman’s eyes.

-Shoalts, via the Globe, thinks the league cancelling the WC would be the NHL shooting itself in the foot. Kind of small potatoes. Since, y’know, this entire lockout is sort of the NHL shooting itself in the face.

-A little more than two years ago, I founded a website called The Toronto Truculent. And according to Cam Charron’s TLN analysis of the Leafs‘ fourth line, I shouldn’t have.

-Tyler Bozak is still taking heat for that whole Halloween thing.

-Mark Ritter of the Hockey Writers says a Luongo trade makes sense for Toronto, then shifts gears for like 10 paragraphs to talk about the CBA in great detail, then says “But I digress,” and brings it home about Luongo again. He basically suggests Luongo’s contract won’t be that bad under a new CBA, and concludes: “In my mind all that remains is for Burke to pick up the phone and find out which combination of players and/or prospects Gillis wants and this deal should be as good as done.” Yeah, not quite….

    Marlies “stacked” roster? Seriously?

    Hey all!  I know I didnt post here very often and, but read it almost everyday, and been an nhl and leafs fan for 20 of my 30 years alive.  I’m really sad and pissed and at wits end to say the NHL has hit  the last straw for me and I’m done.  I know no one will miss me, but theyve gone and cancelled the biggest leafs event in the past 10 years on top of all their other sh!t their doing to us. I havent given a cent to the NHL since the last lockout, and now this is the logical conclusion. I may still jump the band wagon if the leafs ever make the playoffs again, and will definitely root for the young guys down with the Marlies, but other than that, peace out homies, mlhs, I’m done. You’ve been great.
    (I hope I’m wrong, but it doesnt feel like it.  Feels like my lifelong love cheated on me for the third time and could care less. Good riddance.)

     The Marlies stacked lineup can not score worth shit.

     I know how you feel. Personally I know if they start in a month I will most likely be watching the games. But if the whole season is cancelled or longer it will definitely take me longer to come back. Cannot say I will not be back since it is probably not true.

    TH: I agree. The lines do not look that co-ordinated. The vets have been disappointing to say the least. How many times have you heard a Marlie could not pull the handle. For me, the only player who looks like a stud is Jake. Naz had a few moments but I have been unimpressed and am hoping Fratts can really spur him on. Are the forwards trying to get too fancy and find a good chance rather than seize a chance and make the best of it. Last night I got really pissed off with the PP and the short handed goal. Sheez if they had scored once on the PP then there would likely have been more concern on D by the PKers.  Dineen’s post game interview was really weak. Just own up to the stink and do something coaches.

    It’s not that bad when there is a season going on but during a lockout I can see why you wouldn’t want it lol

    I agree to an extent atleast that the diehards will come back. However I also think everyone will come back and all will be forgoetten. As for being angry , I consider myself a diehard and I’m not angry and more just in disbelief I just miss watching the Leafs on the ice and the AHL just isn’t doing it for me not to mention it is a mission to try and follow. Personally I’m more sad/confused then angry

     My dad cancelled his as well. I don’t have leafs TV but it seems they are not even  trying to do anything to keep customers over the lockout.

    I wish I could cancel mine…but the fact is I want to watch even the shittiest Leafs games….so sad.

    They should be getting the rights to any junior game or Marlies game they can.  Such a simple fuckin concept. Actully makes me mad when I think about it.

    What would you expect them to do? they don’t have the AHL contract so they can’t play those games, without the leafs they’re shit. If anything they should cancel themselves until the season starts
