Marlies Week In Review: The Boys Are Back
To say that the expectation for the Toronto Marlies is a little bit different would be an understatement. Last year's team was young and raw, but really had few stand-out players and a significant lack of supporting depth behind them. It was the mark of a team with a sense of direction, but a lack of available assets. As the season progressed, however, the players grew, the roster was bolstered, and the team defied everybody's beliefs and made the Calder Cup Playoffs. A first round loss, while a little disappointing, was seen as more than good enough.
