Jr Gulls and Jr Flyers play to a 3-3 tie.
Gulls dominated the 1st and were up 2-0 at the end. Could have been more, but kids kept missing the net with shots. Not sure if Valencia got a shot on net in the first or not, but definitely no quality scoring chances. 2nd period was Gulls controlling play again at first, but Flyers roar back with 3 goals in like 5 minutes or so and dominated the rest of the period. End 2nd with Flyers up 3-2. The 3rd period was hard fought with good plays on both sides. Gulls chip in one to tie it up and the game ends knotted 3-3.
I thought Gulls were the more physical team, and since there were only 2 linesmen for the game (where the hell was the 3rd ref?), a LOT of obvious penalties went uncalled, mostly committed by Gulls. In fact I think there was only 1 called all game, and it was a dubious tripping call against the Flyers.
Overall, I thought Flyers were more Run n Gun and created numerous odd-man rushes for themselves, but also gave a lot up. If the Gulls could put their shots on net, it could have been a big Gulls win. On the flip side, if the Flyers could have converted more of their rushes, it could have been a big win by the Flyers. Fun game to watch.
