Amerks scored 3 goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. Whenever the Marlies scored, the Amerks answered. Then in the 3rd Period, Malcolm Subban was bombarded by the Marlies. But the Amerks scored another 3 goals in the 3rd Period, to sweep the Toronto Marlies. For the Marlies, they ran away with the North Divison in the regular season. But then they had to face Rochester in the North Divison Finals of the 2023 Calder Cup Playoffs. And Toronto was no match for Rochester. With the series win, Rochester advances to their 1st Eastern Conference Finals since 2004. They will take on the Hershey Bears. Dates and places to be determined. This is Paul Shishkoff, Junior.
