Slow starts continue to plague Toronto Marlies in first regulation home defeat of the season

“I’m not exactly sure what it is (driving the slow starts). It’s something for us to figure out internally. You have to give our group credit for not quitting, but we always start behind the eight ball.”

“The refs are a part of the game. Whether it is good calls or bad calls, we just have to stay in the fight. Sometimes, it is hard to stay composed mentally.”
