If you’d have told me this morning that this season’s Toronto Furies were going to score early and often enough to chase the goalie who was named 2016 Clarkson Cup MVP after only 25 minutes of play, I would have asked what you were drinking. And yet, here we are.
Amanda Makela is on some kind of roll, taking the Furies to their first three-game winning streak of the season. She’s made 91 saves over that time, letting in just two goals per game.
Of course Makela couldn’t do everything by herself. This was the first time all season that the Furies scored more than three goals in regulation (for those counting, they have five games left).
