Is Ryan that good this year? What is the outlook for them?

MN 7 LM 1

I saw most of the second period and all of the 3rd period and my observation is that Ryan is not "that" good. They are solid however. RC's downfall was that could not mentally handle poor officiating. The refs were awful both ways but Ryan seemed to handle that mentally better than the important players on RC. Every time one of them went down they seemed more interested in looking or commenting towards the refs than getting back in the play. But Ryan played good enough to win. That makes 4 straight league wins for Ryan over RC. I believe they were all by 1 goal as well.

I think that both of these teams will finish in the top 6 at AAA but I don't see how either team cracks the top 4 despite RC's good start. One thing I will be curious to see is how they handle playing with only 14 guys. Their upper management crow barred a Varsity II team in the Inter county league I assume they figured they could swing those players up to the AAA team (as was the case earlier in the season) but they are not allowed to do that now so it should make things interesting as the games get more difficult.

Suprisingly good game
Sun Valley 4
Great Valley 4

SV was winning up untill about the last 5 min as long as they stay out of the box Sun Valley has sleeper potential this year

Sallies-2 Kennett-2, great game, very even all around

Lasalle AAA over Holy Ghost 4-0.

Lasalle looked better then us, even without Berkle, Zoldy and Laessig.

Holy Ghost 5 O'Hara 4

Good game. Went back and forth. O'Hara tied it up at 4-4 with under 90 seconds to play. Corcoran then netted the game winner on a semi-breakaway (started at the blueline)with about 30 seconds left in the third.

I thought Robbie Hoffman (#97) played a fantastic game for Ghost

Corcoran played great. Coll also had some nice plays. Hoffman would have played a good game if he would of kept his mouth shut and stayed out of the box. Corcoran looked like he hit the post a few times too. Good solid game all around.

Pat Corcoran, Robby Hoffman, and Tommy Seravalli created alot of offense for Holy Ghost last night. I am biased, and if we would have lost that game it would have been awful. I think the only reason O'Hara was in that game till the end were the hometown refs. Several questionable calls, and O'Hara must have had at least 5 more power play opportunities. All in all, O'Hara played well, and made a nice comeback, and played hard, a win is a win.
