“We played extremely well. Those mistakes we make at crucial times allowed them [Cleveland] access to get the result. We shot ourselves in the foot.”
– John Gruden
The Toronto Marlies head coach hit the nail on the head after a 4-3 overtime loss in Cleveland. The Marlies produced one of their best performances on the road this season and it should have resulted in two points. Instead, they found a way to drop a point against a Monsters team that has been their Kryptonite this season.
First Period
Toronto got off to a poor start to the game, taking a penalty inside the opening minute.
