best show in town
As expected, it was a great game as usual between these 2 teams.
I wouldn't agree that X physically dominated the game but they were definitely in control. First 4-5 points were back and forth with X holding a 1-2 goal edge. Biggest difference throughout the first half was X was dominating face offs (Moe had maybe 1 or 2 at half?) and running through Moe's defense. In particular, Moe had a lot of trouble stopping Gerry Riley who was just blowing past them to score.
Moe stayed close for a while moving ball well and getting some good shots. By half and early 3rd quarter the face-off dominance and ground balls for X just gave them so many more scoring opportunities they built a good lead.
Mid 3rd and 4th quarter, Moe shifted to zone defense and took away the easy runs to the goal and finally started winning a few face-offs and ground balls. A few quick scores got the momentum going their way and then they dominated the 4th on ground balls and possession time to run off the 6 goal streak to take lead with less than a minute.
A great game with some strong performances by a number of players. Congrats Moe on a big win.:clap:
