“You’ve got to learn from your mistakes… I really liked our response [to yesterday’s loss] with our young defensemen, the leadership we got from the guys, and the stops from Hildeby. It was a well-rounded effort and I really liked a lot about our game.”
– John Gruden
This was indeed a much better 60-minute effort from the Marlies, and the 5-0 result speaks for itself.
First Period
Similar to the previous evening, Laval began the game with high intensity and put Toronto under sustained pressure in the opening few minutes.
