The Toronto Marlies were on their heels after losing the first two games of their series in Syracuse vs. the Crunch. Veteran Rich Clune commented that the team was not in a good place. “The first two games in Syracuse didn’t go very well. I don’t think we felt too good about ourselves as a team.” However, after two wins in a row at home, the ship looks to have been righted.
The Marlies looked on Wednesday like the only team on the ice that wanted to win the game. They were playing better defensively, and getting more scoring chances from all of their lines than the Crunch could muster.
