In a challenging match, the Toronto Marlies demonstrated remarkable resilience by overcoming a 2-0 deficit against San Jose to secure a victory. Despite their win, captain Logan Shaw candidly critiqued the team's performance, acknowledging they were outplayed in many aspects, particularly in the first period. They struggled to produce offensive chances, and defensive missteps led to conceding two early goals. The game highlighted areas for improvement, notably in finishing quality and team connection, vital lessons as the Marlies continue their season.
I don't think that was a great game in any aspect. But we won, and sometimes, you just have to win the games you're not supposed to. Going down 2-0 and coming back, it's resilient.
Toronto showed some glimpses of life thereafter, but the lack of finishing quality undermined them.
The Marlies were second-best in every facet of the opening frame. They were fortunate that, for the most part, it was a low-event period.
Toronto killed off a penalty carrying over from the first period but conceded a second goal inside two minutes. It was an ugly goal all around.
