Marlins firing on all cylinders

[Jayrad28 369]

The San Diego Marlins are currently 4th in the league. They went on a win streak and the whole team has been very impressive in aspects. The team seems to be firing on all cylinders and is really coming into its own after a couple 6-2 wins over the Houston bulls.  With new additions of Nick Kirkpatrick and Ryszard Franciszek playing very good hockey the depth of this team has been very solid the last little bit. Edgar Tannahill has been lights out with 18 goals in 22. games playing with Phil Marleau who has also been solid. In net Greg Eagles has been absolutely stellar so far this season. Overall the team looks poised to take a playoff spot and compete.

 

With 22 games done in the season I thought I’d do some Grading for the players of the Marlins!

 

Forwards

Edgar Tannahill A+

Tannahill has been lights out so far this year. 18 goals in 22 games for a total of 31 points he’s right near the top of the league. He’s led this team offensively all year and it looks like he’s gonna continue.

 

Phil Marleau A-

After a bit of a slow start, Marleau has been a dominant power forward and captain for this team so far this year. He’s currently 3rd in the team with 27 points.

 

Andrei Mikhailov B-

 

His offensive output has been a bit disappointing so far, but hopefully he figures it out and starts putting up dynamic numbers because he’s playing with Tannahill and Marleau and only has 11 points. His plus 11 is very positive though.

 

David Clarkson A

 

Hes given you exactly what you want in a top 6 Role. His scoring abilities managing to maintain and evolve through the year. He’s been a leader on this young team already and has made a significant impact. He’s riding a 13 Game point Streak and dosnt seem to be cooling off.

 

Dalton Wilcox B

 

The winger opposite of Clarkson, Wilcox has also been solid with 18 points in 22 games for the Marlins. 

 

Alex Pearson B+

 

For a rookie Center getting Second line minutes, Alex has been pretty solid despite growing pains, His offensive game took a dive at some points but he’s sitting at 14 points in 22 games which is nothing to write home about but his overall game has been solid, especially in the faceoff  circle where he sports a 55%. hopefully he puts his tools together and starts producing better.

 

Scotty BigShotty C-

He's struggled this year in the 3rd line position behind Alex Pearson, only 2 points in 22 games and only 15 Shots, Scotty’s offensive game drove off a cliff and died 20 games ago.

 

Lexington Lewis C

His Defensive game has been solid, playing with new winger Nick Kirkpatrick has also helped his offensive game slowly improve, which coy help the Marlins tremendously.

 

Nick Kirkpatrick B+

5 Points in 10 games, This was a very good depth addition for InstantRockstar.

 

Defenceman 

 

Samuel Sparrow A

 

As the team’s number one defenceman, Sparrow has dominated at both ends, he’s recorded 19 Points in 22 Games an logged significant minutes for this team.

 

Dean Clarke B+

 

His dominant 2way Game lets Sparrow be more of an offensive catalyst when he can be. He dosnt have a goal so far this season and lord knows he wants one.

 

Lincoln Tate A+

 

Where did this Kid come from? He’s played extremely good so far, Dominating the blue line offensively. His hands, speed and skill are all insane and he’s playing with a lot of confidence right now. His PPG leads defenceman with 29 points in 15 games. 15 GAMES. He was a brilliant signing by IR and will be a huge peice to this team going forward.

 

Taylor Budwaisor D

 

He’s struggled most of the season to come into his own. Sloppy defensive play and nonexistent offense has been the story for Taylor so far.

 

Goalie 

 

Greg Eagles A

 

Eagles has been the goalie the Marlins needed this year. His vision and rebound control have been solid, He said he will look to lead this team to the playoffs in its inaugural season and it looks like he’s gonna do just that.

 

 

Groups

 

A+

Tannahill

Tate

 

A

Marleau

Sparrow

Clarkson

Eagles

 

B

Kirkpatrick

Clarke

Wilcox

Pearson

Mikhalov

 

C

Bigshotty

Lewis

 

D

Budwaisor

 

As the team improves as the games go on they continue to show why they belong in contention. They’ve dominated the last few games, and if they can get more depth scoring from guys like BigShotty, Lewis and a few others there’s no reason they can’t be a top team in the league.

Most likely being moved down to 2nd line for personal production.
