Sometimes box scores don't really tell the full story of a game. Saturday night's contest between the Boston Blades and the Brampton Thunder is not one of those times.
In the first period, the Thunder out-shot the Blades 22-4, scoring three goals. After that, the game evened out, with each team scoring two goals apiece and Brampton winning the shooting contest, 28-21.
"I thought we were sloppy in the first," Blades coach Brian McCloskey said after the game. "We're not a team who can spot another team three goals."
Despite the rough start, the Blades came back in the second, out-shooting the Thunder 13-11 and netted a goal, Assistant Captain Kristina Brown's second regulation goal this season.
