The Toronto Marlies obliterated the Texas Stars yesterday. They won 8-4, even accomplishing the rare feet of having an opponent goalie pulled from the net, and then his backup pulled from the net, and then the original goalie pulled for a second time with the backup going back in again. He was not happy about that and there were loud crashing sounds down the tunnel when he left.
The Stars have lost 13 of 16 games this season, including 9 of their last 10 in regulation. They are a team in crisis, and I’m sure when they wake up this morning they sure will be grumpy about the fact they have to play the Marlies again today.
