Two Maple Leafs minor league teams clinch: one by losing, one by winning
He’s the winningest goalie on the Marlies, but he lost twice over tonight.The Orlando Solar Bears were in fourth place in their division heading into their last home game of the season, and all they needed to do to clinch was win the game. Simple.
Ryan Massa was in net for the Solar Bears, and he would need to be on his game playing against the Florida Everblades, the top team in their division.
The Everblades scored early, but Joe Perry evened it up quickly for the Solar Bears. This is the ECHL, you never sweat an early deficit but you don’t count on your own leads either.
