“The one good quality our team has is that they don’t quit. We just started being simpler, more direct and getting pucks to the net. We got a little momentum, and I really liked our third period.”
– John Gruden
Not for the first time this season, the Toronto Marlies dug themselves a multi-goal hole to clamber out of. Toronto has been outscored 11-4 in the first periods this season and continues to suffer from a slow-start habit, which must concern the coaching staff. Conversely, they own a remarkable 2-0-2 record when trailing after two periods after pulling off another comeback to earn a point.
