The first loss is definitely not as bad as the last loss, but it’s still pretty bad. Hopefully this season there won’t be a last loss.
Moving on.

Maple Leafs game 3 recap: Le boo
This is just my personal take, but as someone who makes millions of dollars for their job, Kapanen should probably know the rules.
Kapanen came out and owned his mistake. Says he didn’t realize throwing that broken stick would result in a penalty shot. “You learn something every day.”

Earlier in the day yesterday, Marlies GM Laurence Gilman spoke to the media. Gilman spoke about roster construction, the three-tier prospect system, and an update on Ian Scott’s injury. He’s going to be a pro this season in the ECHL as the starter.
