“All the momentum swings are going to [Laval]. They are scoring those timely goals and power-play goals, and they’re getting timely saves. We had a really good opportunity to either take the lead or get a tie, but we’re falling short.”
– John Gruden
A fourth defeat in five games has imperiled the Toronto Marlies‘ playoff hopes.
“Hopefully, we end up finishing in the third spot so we don’t see them [Laval] for a couple [of playoff rounds],” said Gruden after this 4-1 loss to the Rocket.
Cleveland is now on the same points total as Toronto, with one more game played.
