"I don't think we can rely on (overcoming slow starts) all the time. We had some really big saves from [Artur Akhtyamov] in the first period to keep it at only one goal. But I give the guys a lot of credit for never wavering, sticking to what needed to get done, and then we started to take over." - John Gruden
"The Marlies drew consecutive penalties, but their power play was completely inept. Toronto recorded one shot through four minutes and gave up a short-handed goal on the second man-advantage."
"Akhtyamov was the difference between the teams, preventing Rochester from running up a sizeable lead before the Marlies found their feet in the middle frame. From there, Toronto scored four unanswered (including a bizarre goal) to draw them level."
"It was a disastrous breakout play in which all five Toronto skaters ended up in a line just outside the Amerks' zone. Nick Abruzzese's lateral pass intended for Alex Steeves was easily cut out, resulting in a breakaway for Wahlberg."
