Final(s) Thoughts

Canada Brings the Intensity
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Furious George play with so much fire and emotion before. Maybe it was the stage, maybe it was the hometown crowd, maybe it was their opponent. But Furious brought it and took it. Their effort was monumental and that will never be taken away from them.

USA First Half Offense
The Sockeye Offense was so out of whack the first half, you wouldn’t recognize them from the second half squad that looked unbeatable. Their first half play saw them misfire on a handful of throws—all of which Furious took advantage of. That is important to note: Furious took advantage of all Sockeye mistakes. Also of note, the second half score was 9-8 in favor of Team USA.

The Rain Started To Pour
Early on in the game, there was little downpour. Perhaps only a sprinkle. But around 6-4 it was really coming down. Furious may have lucked out and struck at the right time, getting all of their breaks early. With the slippery field, it was difficult for either team to set and effective mark or stay close to their man downfield. There were no breaks for huge stretches of the game.

Again, congratulations to Team Canada.
