The Toronto Marlies concluded their season with a familiar disappointing defeat, losing in overtime to their rivals despite a commendable effort in comeback situations. Key players expressed their disappointment and sense of brotherhood, recognizing that this season may mark the end for several teammates. With 19 players becoming free agents, management faces a pivotal moment to reshape the roster, while the emotional toll of a season that didn’t end as hoped lingers in the air, alongside moments of resilience that the team showed throughout the year.
I thought it was a carbon copy of the first game. 10 minutes they dominated, 10 minutes we dominated, and at the end of the day, they got it done in overtime. I'm proud of the guys for the way they battled back in the third period twice to tie both games up. I loved their effort, I loved how they came back, and I feel for them.
I'm proud of our guys. All season, we didn't quit. We fought until the end every night. There are a lot of guys in there that may never play for the Marlies ever again, but a lot of them I'll call my best friends forever.
