Sorry, puck just dropped now. That means 10 minutes of viewing for me.

Gardiner with a PP goal! Kadri enters the zone and drops it for Gardiner who snipes it.

[Dr. Bobby Leafer]

Missing this but the twitterverse indicates we're dominating! Good to hear.

Cringing every time I see Greg Scott #8 out there...

Nothing to do with his play, just Komi hangover

Burke being interviewed.

He's asked who he thinks will come up once NHL resumes play, mentions Gardiner, Holzer, Komarov, possibly Colborne, possibly Aucoin...not a word about Kadri.

The Captain has the Marlies 2-1 ahead after two.

I wouldn't read too much into that.

Kadri has been defensively reckless during this game, the second especially, they highlighted a play where he tried to stick handle through four players in the neutral zone and was easily dispossessed creating a good scoring chance the other way.

Until plays like this become much less of a common occurrence, he really has no place on the big club.

All of that being said, his omission of Kadri on that list was probably a mistake.

I see the NFL replacement officials have a new gig.
