Marlies outlast Amerks in shootout, 4-3!

The Toronto Marlies came into Rochester Sunday afternoon and spoiled the Americans attempt to clinch a playoff berth.

The natives weren't happy with the result but royalty was thrilled.

Fellow road tripper and good friend Sean MacDonald, who now lives in Tokyo, Japan but he's originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada likes rooting for the Toronto teams.

He told us Go Marlies Go!

He has a great website and blog as well.

Well the game didn't start well for the Marlies.

They fell behind 2-0 after the first period.

They did get back in the game 5:44 into the second period when Ryan Hamilton found the net to make it 2-1 Americans.

Rochester went back up by 2 goals 11:23 into the period when Jeff Taffe put the biscuit in the basket.

With the 1:49 left in the period, the Marlies came back again to pull within one, 3-2 when Kyle Calder scored.

In the third period, the Marlies finally got the equalizer with 8:57 to go in regulation time when Andre Deveaux tied it up.
