Anticipa-a-tion, the Marlies are making us wait

The NBA schedule was released a few days ago, so that means both the ECHL and the AHL can get theirs finalized. While we wait for the full story of when the Marlies play and where, we have some tidbits.

The IceCaps provided one taste with the announcement of the Colemans Cup in Newfoundland in October, a series of pre-season games between the Marlies and the IceCaps.

The IceCaps will take on the @TorontoMarlies in the Second Annual Colemans Cup.

That's not even two months to the home opener. We can do that, right?

Who will score the first Marlies goal?
