One of the most distinct sounds in hockey is crisp slap of the puck against a stick as it is passed from one player to the next. It was a sound that was all too familiar in Marlborough last night and, unfortunately for the Boston Blades, it came almost exclusively from the Calgary Inferno.
The Inferno passed all over the Blades in their 4-0 road win. Particularly in the first period, Calgary made cross ice passes seemingly on a whim, helping speed up their already quick transition game.
"They just have too much team speed, too much puck control," said Blades coach Brian McCloskey after the game.
