Rocket fans weren't expecting their 1st place team to get eliminated in the North Division Semifinals, but that's exactly what happened, as the Toronto Marlies won the series 3 games to 2.
It was a big upset, as the 1st place Rocket lost their 1st round playoff series (technically, it was the 2nd round of the playoffs, as the Rocket had a bye while Toronto played Rochester) to the 4th place Marlies. The visitors won the game, 3-2, and won the series 3 games to 2. Toronto now goes on to face the Cleveland Monsters in the North Division Finals.
Lettieri's goal at 10:22 of the 3rd period gave Toronto a 3-2 lead in the deciding game of the North Division Semifinals.
In the 3rd period, with the score tied at 2, Rocket goalie Kaapo Kähkönen made a risky play and got caught out of position. Farrell was there to bail him out, swatting away Quillan's shot with his stick, and the deciding game of the North Division Semifinals remained tied.
Johnson's goal at 4:57 of the 3rd period tied the game at 2.
Beck's power play goal, his 2nd goal of the game, at 16:21 of the 2nd period gave the Rocket a 2-1 lead.
Smith's goal at 13:50 of the 2nd period tied the game at 1.
