My son played after this game and I was able to catch most of it. Exciting game as it went to OT and was won by FCA 6 to 5. I thought both teams looked rusty and still in the process of shaking off the lack of team play over the winter months. BLC is big and physical defensively and FCA had trouble getting inside but was able to win the majority of their faceoffs and get possession for most of the game. This constant pressure eventually wore the BLC defense down late in the game and they rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the second half. FCA offensively had too many unforced turnovers to count; again I chalk that up to lack of team chemistry, but looked to be the more talented and better coached team. Most of BLC's goals came from a better GB game and second chances. I think if they played again FCA would win by 4-5 goals; a lot of missed opportunities due to turnovers.
