The Marlies vs. IceCaps game was crazy. With a final score in OT of 9-8, the game winning goal was a Stamkos-esque wrister by William Nylander from the very Stamkos left circle. Do you guys really need an aging cap-crushing superstar with Bill Nye hiding in the AHL? The other eight goals were by TJ Brennan, Mark Arcobello (who is playing like he wants to quickly return to the NHL), Nikita Soshnikov, Zach Hyman, Mark "Please send me up!" Arcobello again, two in a row by Josh Leivo, and finally Sam Carrick in OT. [Here is the box score](http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game%5Fid=1014884&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for those interested in marveling at the plethora of points. The only Marlies who didn't find the score sheet were Rich Clune, Brendan Leipsic, and Justin Holl (who?). The big story is that Nylander had a four point night. The other big story, nicely outlined in [this piece by Jeffler](http://theleafsnation.com/2015/11/14/william-nylander-briefly-takes-ahl-scoring-lead-as-marlies-and-icecaps-combine-for-seventeen-goals?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), discusses the fact that the goaltending sucked. Antoine Bibeau was left in the crease for all of the eight goals against, and was not looking good in his return to the AHL.
