“We got a little loose, we weren’t stopping on pucks, our details go a little bit, and they took advantage of those opportunities. At the end of the day, if your five-on-five game is not there, you’re not going to win many games.”
– John Gruden
The Marlies didn’t really suffer the beating that the scoreline might otherwise suggest in this 7-3 loss to Milwaukee. The first period was even, and despite conceding four goals in the middle frame, the Marlies were more than competitive for 10 minutes of the second period.
