Marlies had another rough game on the offensive side. Hoisted lotsa shots but didn’t park one til the 60th minute, 6-on-4.
They have a rough time with CLE. 119 minutes in a row without a goal.
Actually had the looks of a potential storybook ending. Down 2-0, the M’s pulled the goalie wirh 2+ minutes left. Applied some o-zone pressure, but lost possession. Monster gains control, clears the zone and rips a wrister into the empty cage. But! The whistle blew….Monster penalty behind the play lead to the PP which lead to the Marlies lone goal with ~30 seconds left.
Marlies had a couple great chances 6-5 in the last 30 seconds but just couldn’t bury one.
Almost epic.
Imagine the feeling on the dude that took the penalty as it unfolded.
Anyways, came up short. Monsters scored an empty netter at 19:59.5.
AA was real solid, stopping 25 of 27 with one goal a crazy fluke deflection off feet.
No one really stood out.
Goal was ALexStyles from Topi and NickyZZTop.
