Hate to admit I really enjoyed watching them play. We had no answer to their forechecking all over the ice. Dominance was shown by being outshot in all six games by a combined 230-150 shots or 53% more shots. Shows the role Madore played in keeping the series even close.
Seems like we gave up a hell of a lot of goals throughout the playoffs in the last five minutes of the the third period but now is not the time
See you all at USBA in 137 days
