### The Marlies

"It was 4-1." No Leafs fan forgets that horrible day in May 2013.

Last night, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers had their own "it was 4-1" moment, and it was the Marlies who were the comeback champs. The Marlies swept them from the first round of the Calder Cup playoffs in a dramatic 6-4 win.

The penalties, the goalie change, the hat trick! It was crazy! Our own ChristopherHat was there!

The Toronto Marlies eliminated the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in a extremely interesting and close Game 3 at Ricoh Coliseum.

Lots of other PPPers were there too! Please share your stories of the game and pictures!
