I thought the effort was good. There wasn't much room out there. It was good to get three out of four points this weekend.
After watching the replay several times, it appeared the Belleville player parked between Steeves and the incoming shot had his stick up high while the Marlies forward barely raised his stick. Regardless of my views on the matter, it was a boneheaded decision by the officials to overrule the initial call without conclusive evidence.
Toronto did not dwell on their misfortune during the intermission and began to turn the tide in the middle frame.
The Marlies defended well and limited the Senators to one high-quality scoring chance; Dennis Hildeby produced a huge save on Angus Crookshank inside five minutes.
