"It's not always going to be pretty. You're going to make mistakes, but the fact that we can recover from those and still focus on the task at hand... Our guys did a great job responding to whatever was thrown at us this weekend. Good start to the season." - John Gruden
"I think our players got energy from his ability to make big saves." - John Gruden on Artur Akhtyamov's debut performance.
The Toronto Marlies were not at their best over the weekend, but they prevailed by winning the critical moments. In this 4-1 win on Sunday, key saves from their rookie netminder and timely scoring in the third period made the difference.
Artur Akhtyamov made a stunning double save to rob Ryan Carpenter from point-blank range as San Diego almost made hay on their first power play opportunity. The debutant turned aside 10 shots in total to mark a solid first 20 minutes in the AHL.
