“I thought there were a lot of good moments in our game leading up to the third period. For the most part, we started well. We were predictable and moved pucks quickly. In the third period, we really locked it in even more when we had to. We scored some nice goals as well.”
– John Gruden
This wasn’t a perfect performance from the Toronto Marlies, but they were good value for the victory overall. When they had their foot on the gas pedal, the Marlies outclassed San Diego. The foot slipped off the pedal a few times, though, allowing San Diego to stay close on the scoreboard until late on.
