Double Header In Grand Rapids

March 20, 2009

For the first time since the Marlies first season, Toronto will play back to back games in Grand Rapids against the Griffins. It's a big weekend with Toronto holding a five point lead for the playoff spot. Not only are they big games, but they are road games. The Marlies need to be better on the road if they want to keep the playoff spot and do some post-season damage. Syracuse has a very home heavy schedule down the stretch, and they will be hot on the Marlies trail.

It's going to be two sold-out crowds this weekend at Van Andel arena, so it should be a wild atmosphere, especially tonight for dollar beer night. They're fired up in this town with the playoffs coming.

Let's see how Toronto responds.
