Toronto Marlies Week In Review: February 2
While they took five of the last six available points entering the break, the All Star Game probably came at the right time for the Toronto Marlies.
They’ve been playing some sloppy hockey of late, which is likely a combination of tiredness due to a hectic schedule and an over-reliance on — or perhaps a cockiness in — their offensive abilities, which have often dug them out of holes.
Special team were a real issue this week, as evidenced by surrendering two shorthanded goals. The ten shorthanded goals the Marlies have allowed this season is a league worst.
The penalty kill may have remained rock solid against he Griffins, but the powerplay failed to click.
