(Video) Admirals lead Calder Cup Series against Marlies 3-0

Last night the Norfolk Admirals took a strangle hold lead in the series against the Toronto Marlies three games to none after this fluky goal in overtime.

The reaction by the Marlies players after the game is very telling after the goal was scored the Marlies players returned to the player’s bench and watched the replay of the goal in disbelief. I don’t know if you can fault the Marlies goalie Ben Scrivens on this goal or not.

Admirals forward Mike Kostka (University of Massachusetts Amherst)scored what we could only classify as a fluky goal that bounced off the glass at the 9:09 mark of the first overtime to give Norfolk Admirals a 1-0 win over the Toronto Marlies.

Matt Frattin assists on Joe Colborne's first NHL goal...

I had the opportunity to watch two of Toronto's games this past weekend and I have to admit it's fun seeing some of the former college players playing on the Toronto Maple Leafs. This assist by Frattin on the Colborne goal is a thing of beauty, Frattin had two assists on the night giving him four points for the year 1g-3a-4pts. I think the pass is harder than it looks. 

The Toronto Maple Leafs roster looks like an NCAA All-Star team; Phil Kessel (Minnesota), Matt Frattin (UND), Tyler Bozak (DU), Joey Crabb (C.C.), Joe Colborne (DU), Mike Brown (Mich), David Steckel (MSU), Ben Scrivens (Cornell), John-Michael Liles (MSU), Mike Komisarek (Mich), Jake Gardiner (WISC), Jay Rosehill (UMD). The Maple Leafs roster is a testimate of the kind of players that come out of NCAA Division I hockey.
