The Toronto Marlies play the Laval Rockets today. Last night, the Rockets had to deal with some adversity, potentially effecting their performance in the game.
The fire alarm in the hotel where the Rockets were staying last night mysteriously went off at midnight, sparking speculation as to why. Many believe this was an intentional prank made by Marlies fans as today's game is extremely important for the AHL playoffs.
The Marlies have just a one-point lead over the Rockets in the standings, making today's game essentially a playoff game in terms of importance. However, the team does have two games in hand, giving them a small cushion should they lose. That being said, the team is currently up 2-0 less than ten minutes into the game. Perhaps the prank worked.
