Outworked and outclassed, Toronto Marlies suffer shutout loss to Laval

That was one of the more curious post-game quotes from the Marlies head coach Greg Moore.

The average age of the Marlies‘ line-up was 24.8, and arguably the younger players on the roster have been their best performers. At 22 years of age, Filip Kral has been outstanding on the blue line, so harping on about a young team needing experience feels a little contrived.

For further context, as per Elite Prospects, Laval’s current roster has an almost identical average age to Toronto’s.

It is becoming difficult not to repeat myself writing game recaps during Greg Moore’s tenure as head coach of the Toronto Marlies.
