That Devils team was not a fun team to watch, glad Marlies pulled it out. Tough series, good for a young team to get through.
That was quick, here's the schedule for the next round:

I can't say I've ever seen a 2-3-1-1 series schedule before.

232!? For real?
The Bears finished 1st in the Atlantic division, although they were a good 16 points behind the Marlies. They're led by AHL veteran Chris Bourque, who scored 80 points in 72 games this season. Just 7 points in 12 playoff games so far though.
They also have Justin Peters in net, who looked like he was going to carve out a decent career as a capable NHL back-up but seems destined for the AHL now. Split starts with former NHLer Dan Ellis during the regular season and had pretty mediocre numbers (3.04 GAA, 0.896 Sv%) but still had a winning record (17-8-7). He's come alive in the playoffs though with a 1.78 GAA and .935 Sv%. So another tough goalie to get through.
Hersey is Washington's farm team, so of course Connor Carrick has played with them for a couple of seasons. He could provide some inside information. The Bears have former Leaf great Zack Sill on their side as well.

So is this going to be another rough and/or dirty series for the Marlies? Or did they just have an insane couple of games with misconducts?
