Any updates from todays games??
Seems like some great games-
Coppermine 8 Crush 6
Heros 8 Pride 6
M&D 6 SW 5
Anyone with any insights? Weather a factor?
Hero's and Pride both played hard, and the game was close until late. It certainly looked like the first game of the season for both teams. Turnovers on bad passes, dropped balls, shots a little off.
Was 5-5 with under 10 mins left and Hero's went on a 3 goal run. Hero's held the ball effectively for a couple of minutes at the end. Game could have swung either direction. If Hero's had finished better on their good dodges, they could have pulled away earlier. If Pride had scored on even a few of their 10 Free Positions from the 8m, they could have won the game, but didn't convert any. Some good goaltending by Hero's.
Interestingly, Pride won the draw control battle pretty handily, while Hero's was more consistent on their clears and ride. Both offenses created chances, and both defenses caused turnovers. Two yellows and lots of fouls on Hero's. Aggressive with the sticks. No yellow's for Pride. Good game, as Hero's vs Pride games have generally been for the last 4 or 5 meetings.
