History repeated itself Sunday afternoon in what was a very disjointed performance from the Marlies at Ricoh Coliseum, with mental breakdowns and individual errors the reason they failed to secure a point.
The opening period saw the negative side of Toronto’s performance outweigh the positive.
A fast start saw chances for Brett Findlay and Matt Frattin inside the opening three minutes.
A lazy holding penalty called on Leivo turned the tide for a while, with Ray Emery only called into action for the final 20 seconds of the kill, but he made two sharp saves from booming shots with traffic in front.
