Going to be a good final. Hard to know who has the upper hand in this series. Glad that the rat bastard Habs are done. Their insufferable fanbase can suck it for another year. Carolina did us a solid by dismantling Team Smurf. All this talk about Suzuki and Caulfield being invincible can now be put to bed. Their goaltender kept them in series that they had no business winning. Now we can sleep soundly, now that the Habs are done. Go Carolina!
On another note: The Marlies win again! Up 2 on WB-Scranton and the Dubas Babies. Dispatch these wannabee’s ASAP.
The Marlies have a lot of career minor leaguers (like A. Nylander, Mermis, Lettieri and Shaw) but a few prospects playing with them now are doing alright. Villeneuve, Tverberg, Cowan, Danford, Tinus Luc Koblar (at the WHC) and Akhtyamov are all playing well and could be given a chance if a proper rebuild is done. Hildeby has taken a back seat in the playoffs which is a bit concerning considering he has to pass through waivers next year so the hope of trading him or promoting him is slipping.
