So went the accurate post-game synopsis by head coach Sheldon Keefe following a Toronto Marlies victory in Game 2 of their second-round series versus Cleveland despite getting vastly outplayed for the majority of regulation by the Monsters.
First Period
Held to just 16 shots in Game 1, a shoot-on-sight policy was put into action by the Monsters in the opening period, where they tested Kasimir Kaskisuo 13 times.
Toronto mustered just three shots on net in the first period yet found themselves ahead by a pair of goals before the midway point. The power play immediately came up trumps as the dynamic duo of Jeremy Bracco and Chris Mueller combined, with the latter finishing off a perfect backdoor feed from Toronto’s leading playoff scorer.
