[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take on the Madison/battlefield game.

BF: strong goalie play and aggressive defense. Good clears and opportunistic in transition. They were a complete team last night.

JMHS:  for the first three quarters madison stunk up the joint.    Terrible goalie play, unorganized defense, poor shooting and failed clears.  Madison had all the markings of a team that was unready.

Madison showed in the 4th Quarter that they were the better team.  I have no doubt if there was a fifth quarter Madison would have won.  However, terrible first half performance put them in a hole that only battlefield mistakes could have gotten them out of. And   Battlefield did not make mistakes last night. [/quote]That's definitely a take, anyway.  One team plays better for 3 quarters, the other for 1 and loses, and the latter showed they were the better team?

Madison has had a great run, and probably has more in store for the future.  [/quote]

Not a bad write up, BUT I would say that Battlefield let them back in the game. This would have been a 4 goal win, if not for a 2 min non releasable on the BF starting goalie. (No slight to the G, as he plays fantastic) 
If Madison does not have the man up and NR- they may not get two goals there and we are talking about a 4pt win. I would not say they showed they are a better team, as you are supposed to score with man up and score multiple with 2min NR. I would say they took advantage of a situation and capitalized on it.

Agree here.  Battlefield was the better team by far.   Madison was undersized and not good defensively. Their goalie was really bad in comparison to Battlefield's great goalie and defensive play.  They man handled the small Madison squad.  Refs even had some poor calls that allowed Madison to come back on some goals.  Overall the takeaway was that Battlefield was the better team, both from the player standpoint but also coaching.  [/quote]
