Good morning. Here are some links.

The Marlies lost game three in Albany and now trail 2-1 in the series. They gave up the game tying goal with just 21 seconds left on a truly dreadful sequence and really did not look very good for long stretches.

Read a bit about the Connecticut Whale's newest free agent signing, Kaliya Johnson. Good stuff as always from The Colour of Hockey.

The California-born, Arizona-raised Johnson was one of the more compelling hockey stories of the 2014-15 hockey season. Prior to the season she learned that she suffered from a[**Chiari** ](http://www.webmd.com/brain/chiari-malformation-symptoms-types-treatment?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)malformation, a rare structural condition of the brain and spinal cord that contributes to a smaller than normal space for the brain, pressing it downward.

"Basically, my brain was sitting below the base of my skull. It was something I was born with," Johnson told me in February 2015\. "I had symptoms all my life – little things like pressure headaches, getting migraines. I thought it was normal for me."
