I did not see the game between M&D and Coppermine. However, I disagree with PP assertion that a team playing with a player down for more than 10 min “happens in every game”. That actually seems unique and significant, so I didn’t read it as an excuse either. I don’t believe anyone stated they did not agree with the calls or anything like that.
Good point. Playing man down for a majority of a half is not something that occurs in every game, especially in an indoor format. If the game is tied prior to playing man down, it's obvious it had a significant impact on the outcome. M&D looked much stronger than Crush.
