Unpredictability is what makes hockey one of the greatest sports on earth.
Just four days after a crazy 9-8 overtime victory in St. John’s Newfoundland, Toronto went into Rochester facing a team they had already beaten 8-2 this season and in the midst of a three game losing streak.
A goalless sixty minutes of regulation was the last thing expected, so of course that’s what occurred.
Toronto earned themselves a power play with 25 seconds remaining of regulation time, resulting in a 4 on 3 advantage during the first part of overtime.
With seven seconds left with the extra man, the Marlies finally found a way past the impressive Andrey Makarov.
