The Marlies have clinched a playoff spot, but their regular season still has two games left.
Last Saturday they played against the Hershey Bears, affiliates of the Washington Capitals. It didn’t turn out at all like Coach Sheldon Keefe wanted, noting “we had no real life, no real energy in any of our lines.”
The Marlies lost 2-1 when the Bears scored their second goal with eight seconds in the third period. Kasimir Kaskisuo was shown immediately after that goal on the big screen and he looked devastated. He didn’t deserve to feel that way.
