That’s a mystifying quote from Toronto’s head coach following a season-ending defeat in Belleville that ended the Marlies‘ hopes of playoff qualification.
The standings don’t lie.
Toronto took just 11 points from their last 13 games, giving up four or more goals in nine of those outings.
In the most important game of the season, Greg Moore opted to healthy scratch Joseph Duszak, citing that the matchups weren’t right.
“With Duszak, we just felt that the lineup, given the matchup and the lineup of the Belleville, was the best one for us to compete,” said Moore.
