I understand the need for head coach Greg Moore to remain positive about his team outside of the locker room. However, these comments seem inappropriate and off the mark given the ineffective performance of Toronto in a pivotal game of the team’s series and season. It’s hard to imagine any fan who paid money to watch Game 2 agreeing with Moore’s viewpoint.
First Period
The Marlies flattered to deceive in the opening frame, but at least they were somewhat competitive.
A spell of play around the five-minute mark was arguably the best shift of the game for Toronto.
