OK, so Chayka/Mats are geniuses for dealing Woll. 70 between the pipes opening nite.

Final notes
I've always liked Shaw. He didn't disappoint. He competes.
Groulx went up and down his wing but nothing much stood out that I recall beyond winning a couple of puck battles.
The Pare-Haymes-Nylander line generated a few chances. Nylander plays defense like his brother which dampens my enthusiasm. If he would just play defense, he could be in the NHL.
The 4th line of Sim-Johnstone-Pezzetta generated their own scoring chances. Johnstone got in alone on Primeau twice but couldn't put it past him. They were good pests.

EDIT: I did see Valis and Chadwick dressed and skating during the warmup but they did not play.

Thanks for the breakdown CW. We’re off to see them tonight…hopefully to win it all !

Good for you! We had a great time.
I saw no suspensions from the dust up after the game so that's great.
I was very tempted to go again but I've been fighting an infection for a couple of weeks (that resulted in more posts ...).
The body wants rest.
It is always the hardest one to win.
No matter what, it will be a good game between two good teams.
If someone asked me "what is the best Marlies team you ever saw?" - ignoring the seasons standings, based on how they have been playing, I'm not positive but I would certainly consider this team. They played almost perfectly after the first on Tuesday.
I think they do a great job presenting the game in that rink.
Enjoy!
