Timothy Liljegren Highlights

[herman]

LeafsTV won't do the Saturday of course. But NHL.com doing all three for free seems like a sweet deal.

I wonder if HNIC is taking the Saturday. Either way, there's a good shot reddit will have us covered in some capacity.

Edit:

Thanks for the update Herman. I'll be watching!

Unfortunately I'm going to miss the first one tonight, and maybe even the Sunday one, but I look forward to reading up on it in the game thread (?) with y'all hugging with joy because Dermott - Liljegren is tearing up the NZ (they'll probably be separated with stay-at-homers).

[Bullfrog]

Nice sword-sheath at the end there.

So Timoth didn't have a great game but it's not all that surprising given the lineup.

He won’t be able to wear that number with the big club due to its retirement.

The Marlies just wanted their defence on single digits.

Ah doh, I forgot about those being retired.

Was at the game on Saturday. Liljegren and Dermott both looked really good.

Marincin with the primary assist!

According to Pronman, as an 18yo AHL defenseman, Liljegren is in pretty exclusive company, and he's looking about as good (so far) as others on that short list.

Gardiner's contract is up after next season.

Wonder what Liljegren will be as a 20yo...

Who is the company?

Who is the company?

This is U19 defencemen in the AHL: link

Since the AHL has rules against teenagers playing, it's not exactly a lot of comparables. Vyacheslav Voynov, Oliver Kylington, and Hampus Lindholm are really the only other 18-year old defencemen to play full seasons in the AHL. Rielly's name is also there as he joined the Marlies after his WHL season was over in his D+1 year and only recorded 3 points in 14 games.
