Marlies & Prospect Talk / Re: Marlies assistant Rob Davison suffers medical emergency

« on: June 14, 2020, 11:28:30 AM »

The focus is on Davison's health but the Marlies forfeited the game and take a loss.  Good for the organization to support the team in that move.  Hopefully Davison is ok.  Usually we get one of those "still in hospital but stable" kind of updates after things like this.

Marlies did not take a forfeit here. The game got rescheduled to March 2nd, just before the AHL suspended play. Marlies won 3-2.

Has anyone been to the park where her tree is located lately? Would be nice to see an update.

Not as bad as Oakland which stopped paying minor league players as of May 31st. Seems like both tems have reversed course on those decisions.

They have been shafted big time by the Super League. Started with 23 players because of salary cap issues. That's 2 short of a normal roster. No piece of the TV deal, and no access to government relief.

You aren't the only one. I was having a difficult time of it until the UFC and NASCAR started back up a couple weeks ago. Also been checking out some German soccer since they started back up, as Sportsnet moved it off Sportsnet World. Like seeing NHL and NBA on the road back, but have little hope that MLB and their player's union will get their stuff in order in time to save a 2020 season.

UFC 250 tonight at the UFC's APEX facility in Vegas. Canadian Felicia Spencer fights Amanda Nunes for the 145 pound title in the main event. 1st Canadian to get a titles shot since GSP won the 185 pound title when he defeated Michael Bisping.

Little bit late catching up, but have to say I'm a little jealous. Madrid is on my travel bucket list.

So on Saturday night just past I went to see Real Madrid v Valencia in the Santiago Bernabeu. What an incredible sporting arena and experience. Incredible atmosphere.

Also did the tour of the stadium and their trophy room is something else

Well,  it's been awhile since that heartbreaking loss in the CONCACAF Champions League Cup Final that TFC has been discussed or written about

As it stands, Toronto FC are in second spot in the East but fifteen points back of first place Columbus Crew. TFC played this same Crew team to a 3-3 tie yesterday at BMO Field here in Toronto.  Even though Toronto took a 3-0 lead at one point, they couldn't hang on to victory as Columbus scored three back to tie the game up (the tying goal on a penalty kick).

2nd in the East??? What have you been smoking. TFC is 10th in the East and Atlanta, not Columbus, are in first. TFC is 18 points behind Atlanta but just 8 out of the playoffs.

With Dubas moving up to be Leafs GM, who takes his role now as Marlies GM?

Typically the assistant GM of the NHL parent holds the title of GM on the farm. Given the current front office that would be Brandon Pridham or Lawrence Gilman. My thought would probably be Pridham as Gilman would like be the salary cap guy.

Couple changes that have been tested in the AZ Fall league include giving an intentional walk by flashing a signal rather than the 4 pitches and a limit of 3 coaching visits per game (including pitcher-catcher conferences), not including pitching changes.

Penny Oleksiak will carry the flag at tonight's Closing Ceremony. Canada finishes with 22 medals, good for 10th when ranked by total medals won (20th when ranked by Gold which is how the IOC ranks countries).
