[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spend most of my time on the 6A thread but the Indy hype train made me watch last night.  The recap is pretty straight forward.  The sun was a factor for goalies in the first half with 1 for Indy scoring on a broken play and 7 and 88 scoring on shots the goalie couldn't see, Riverside answered after each goal and went a head by 1 after a man up goal for 25.  Riverside returned the favor in the second quarter with what turned into a 16 or 17 to 1 run. Indy scored 2 garbage time goals while Riversides depth kept their foot on the gas.

A couple takeaways.

Indy plays hard and has a few very good young players but at the end of the day they are just too young to compete with the big dogs.  88 is a very good player who would contribute on any team in the area.  I was most impressed with 43 the LSM taking faceoffs for Indy (Freshman/Sophmore?).  He dominated Riverside's D1 FOGO for most of the 1st half.  This does seem to be a trend though anytime he plays against a non-fogo. 11 and 22 are both solid players that would likely find playing time on most top end teams.  They rest of this team would be great JV players or average depth guys on top end teams.

On a watch of the 1st half (did I need to watch the 2nd?) I would agree with you on some points and think you are off on others. 
I was not there but on the stream the field was not that bright and the shadows were not that deep. I don't know how much of a factor the sun was for the goalies.
I believe it was 4-3 Riverside at the end of 1st and fairly even you are right the 2nd was all Riverside. 
88 was good and 11 as well. They seemed to be the go to players for Indy's O to create anything.
22 is an LSM. while he seems to have the skill you say it looks like he over commits and gets beat or slides too early. Ended up giving up goals because of it. Would be more of a force if he spent time in the film room. 
While I am surprised that 43 won any faceoffs and he did much better then I thought he would I would not say he dominated Riverside D1. If you are looking at the draw itself he would lose many or at best turn it into a GB. Rarely winning any to himself or directing to a wing.  The Indy FO unit did put a ton of pressure on the GB and the FOGO to create turnovers after the draw itself. Why have a pole as your main FOGO though?
One other that did stand out to me was #6 at Indy. Looks to me short stick D and clearing machine. Not much on stick skills but tough D and lots of speed.

Overall into the 2nd Q Indy lost their heart and the game snowballed as a PP said.
