Rasmus Sandin scores in his Marlies debut

There really was nothing Sandin in the way Rasmus made the Ras-most of his AHL debut against the Syracuse Crunch. [kid! - Acha] I don’t apologize. The 18-year-old first-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs is finally healthy, and already making waves at Coca-Cola Coliseum.

Sandin scored his first AHL goal on his first AHL shot in his first AHL game in a 4-1 Toronto Marlies victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning’s affiliate Syracuse Crunch on Friday night.

The Marlies were in control of the game all night, playing what veteren defenceman Vincent LoVerde described as a “persistent” and “consistent” effort over the 60 minutes of play.
