Crowds Gather ahead of Monumental "Match of the Year" |
GYM ABOVE FIRE STATION – “There were too many to stop.”
That was Matt Maxham's succinct summary of the Flying Dutchmen's 8-7 loss to the Juice on Wednesday night.
“It was a question of not being alert in the defensive zone and allowing too many odd-man rushes,” Maxham said after the Dutchmen surrendered a season-high eight goals. “This certainly wasn’t the game I expected.
“I thought we showed a lot of character and battled to the end. We scored a lot of goals, but we couldn’t find a way to keep them out of the net,” Joey G. said.
Battle was a good way to describe the game between the Bottom Division rivals. Two hours after the game, the off-floor officials were still trying to produce the final statistics for the game. The unofficial totals showed 6 penalty minutes with zero fighting majors and zero game misconducts.
