Okay maybe “snorefest” was too harsh of a word, the Toronto Marlies actually played really well against the Laval Rocket, but as someone who had been waiting for a Marlies home game so he could watch some *goals*, I left the game wanting more.
Personal quips aside, it was a solid and very telling win for the Marlies. They out-shot the Rocket 37-15 in a 1-0 overtime victory on the coattails of Chris Mueller’s power play goal. Oh, and let’s not forget that Michael Hutchinson earned his first shutout of the season. He didn’t need to work too hard for it, but they don’t ask how.
