Toronto Marlies concede seven goals to struggling Lehigh in abject road performance

"In the middle frame, Toronto capitulated in a manner not seen before this season. The downhill descent began 43 seconds into the period."

"The action in the opening 10 minutes didn't foreshadow the coming events. The Marlies dictated the pace of play, were relentless on the forecheck, and attacked with speed."

"A disjointed effort with the extra attacker inspired the Phantoms, who outshot Toronto 5-0 in the second half of the opening period."

"Toronto killed off a penalty shortly afterward, but at the five-minute mark, Lehigh capitalized on their second power play. A pathetic penalty-killing effort allowed Alexis Gendron the time and space to score from the bumper spot."
