This suggests there's an equivalency, which there is not. Capital has way (way, way) more depth than what Coppermine is currently working with. I watched this game, and Capital just looked flat. Struggled in the clear and low energy on offense. It was a bad game. It happens.
No need to over-interpret the last game out of 6 for the first tournament weekend. Coppermine came out firing, won draws, and went up 4-0. Capital did look flat and had some unfortunate turnovers. Coppermine's goalies played very well, stopping at least 10 shots. Capital ground their way back into the game, held Coppermine scoreless for about 25 minutes, and tied it up, but gave two goals in the waning minutes. Not a great game.
Lots of positives to take away from Saturday--tying #1 Hero's with grit and determination after starting 0-2, and playing a strong team game in every phase against Philly Blast for a multi-goal win, for example--along with some bright spots against Crush and Jesters on Sunday.
Not surprised that the Capital haters want to pick out the one lowlight and harp on it, but this was a positive weekend for Cap. Worth noting that every single game, save Coppermine, was positive for their ranking. Sorry to disappoint you.
