Toronto Marlies clearly second best in shutout loss to Hershey

So went the damning post-game assessment by head coach Sheldon Keefe after he witnessed his team turn in one of their worst performances of the season in a 3-0 loss to Hershey on Thursday afternoon. The Marlies mustered a season-low 17 shots on goal as goaltender Ilya Samsonov and the Bears coasted to a shutout victory.

First Period

It took Hershey just 78 seconds to open the scoring and it was far too easy for them from the Marlies‘ perspective.

Jason Megna picked up speed unchallenged through the neutral zone, coasting past Michael Carcone before embarrassing Andreas Borgman with a curl and drag move.
