Kyle Clifford scores on ridiculous end to end rush
Kyle Clifford always seems to find his way into the Leafs' lineup against teams like Boston or Winnipeg, but when he isn't needed for his physicality or his fists, apparently you can find him scoring highlight reel goals for the Toronto Marlies.
Last night, five minutes into the first period against Syracuse, Clifford picked up the puck just inside the Marlies' blueline and darted up the ice into Syracuse's zone where he was converged on by three Crunch players at the same time. Somehow, Clifford managed to stickhandle past all three of them before beating Syracuse's goalie, high stick side.
Who would've thought that a guy known for having cinderblocks for fists could have soft enough hands to go end-to-end, and one-on-three and actually score?
