“Blech.” That’s the only word Joey Anderson could come up with to describe the third period for the Toronto Marlies last night against the Laval Rocket where they turned a 5-1 lead in the second period into a 6-5 shootout loss on Wednesday night. “It’s not acceptable,” he added, “we let [Mike Hutchinson] down.”
The embarrassing result comes on the heels of two successful weekends on the road, the first through Upstate New York, and then a visit to the AHL Western Conference to play the Chicago Wolves, through all of which the Marlies won three of four games.
