Toronto Marlies Notebook: Soshnikov Cocktail

The Toronto Maple Leafs are far from the only Toronto-based hockey team currently on a roll.

In fact, the Toronto Marlies are rolling at a historic pace. In the midst of a 16 game stretch without a regulation loss, the team is sitting at a record of 37-11-0-1. Historic is not an understatement.

It’s an inevitability.

The AHL record for points percentage over the course of a regular season belongs to the Binghamton Rangers, who finished their 1992-93 campaign with a record of 57-13-10.

Alternatively, the most regular season wins in AHL history is 60(!), achieved by the 2009-10 Hershey Bears.

If the Marlies continue to play out the season’s remaining 29 games at their current pace, they’re guaranteed to eclipse not one, but both of those records.

In the most literal sense, we are watching history.
