The Toronto Marlies faced a challenging Game 1 against Cleveland, displaying both solid defense and critical errors. Coach John Gruden noted that Cleveland capitalized on Marlies' turnovers, leading to scoring opportunities. Despite an energetic start and early goal from Alex Nylander, Toronto quickly let Cleveland equalize, an issue that has plagued their performances. With Game 2 approaching, the Marlies must rectify these mistakes to avoid elimination and maintain their playoff ambitions. Logan Shaw emphasized resilience and commitment to play hard until the end of their remaining games.
For the most part, I thought we defended extremely well, but when our breakdowns happen, it's usually from turnovers, and then guys are just scrambling.
My message to the guys is we don't quit. We play through until the end of Sunday's game, so that's what we're looking to do.
