Toronto Marlies Post Game: Brendan Leipsic the OT hero as Marlies edge Amerks

Unpredictability is what makes hockey one of the greatest sports on earth.

Just four days after a crazy 9-8 overtime victory in St. John’s Newfoundland, Toronto went into Rochester facing a team they had already beaten 8-2 this season and in the midst of a three game losing streak.

A goalless sixty minutes of regulation was the last thing expected, so of course that’s what occurred.

Toronto earned themselves a power play with 25 seconds remaining of regulation time, resulting in a 4 on 3 advantage during the first part of overtime.

With seven seconds left with the extra man, the Marlies finally found a way past the impressive Andrey Makarov.
