Kristen Shilton:
What's going on with Brooks Laich, who has yet to play AHL game w/ Marlies? The latest:

[Highlander]

Looks like he is having problems Laitching on.

Seriously this guy has more money than we all will ever make together, he is good looking, his wife a beauty and nothing to do but retire or do community work to stay humble.
Nice problem to have.

Well stupid Connor McDavid had to ruin it but for a little bit there the Leafs organization had players ranked 1-2 in scoring in both the NHL and AHL. Leipsic (12 points in 6 games) and Kapanen (9 points in 6 games) have sole possession of those spots in the A.

Marlies advance to 6-1-0 with a 4-2 win over Albany. They play again today at 5pm EST if anyone wants to watch there should be streams doing the rounds before the Leafs game.

Leipsic has a 3pt lead atop the AHL scoring standing with 3 goals and 9 apples for 12 points.

Kasperi Kapanen with 4 goals and 5 assists is tied for second place in league scoring with 9pts.

Bibeau developing in stellar fashion now!

Nice to see.  He's going to have to do a fair bit to establish himself though.  That playoff run was killer from both Sparks and Bibeau.  The Marlies forward group was let down in a big way.

True, but they were also used to the offence outscoring their goaltending issues.

When the big gamers on offence lost their game, the fact that goaltending was a bigger issue than the regular season showed became evident.

Nice to see that Bibeau seems to have taken himself to task in that regard. At least so far.

      Valiev, Rinat   D   0 G   0 A   34 PIMS   0 shots   -1

34 PIMs??  What happened?

[Arn]

Looks like a minor penalty, 2 fights, plus a 2+10 for instigating then a game misconduct for having a second fight.

Boisterous evening.

[Highlander]

Perhaps he wants to be our Matt Martin on Defense.

Leipsic and Bibeau take home AHL Player/Goalie of the Month honours!

Time to get the Laddy up and put Smith down
