16uAA preseason scores

[Wes]

SCIR (group 1) vs. Preds (group 1), SCIR 2-1

SCIR (group 1) vs. AHA (group 1), tied 2-2

Wrapup: SCIR dominated the first period, but AHA had the advantage for periods 2 & 3.  SCIR outshot AHA by about 15 shots but this did not reflect the actual gameplay as the game had two parts, the SCIR dominate first period, then AHA winning periods 2 & 3.  Random thoughts:  SCIR goalie looked shaky.  The AHA goalie that started was pummeled with shots early and withstood the first period and played well.  The AHA goalie that started was injured and left the ice with 3 min left and the other AHA goalie came on cold and faced 6 shots in 3 minutes as SCIR tried to score on the cold/not warmed up goalie, but he played well and stopped all the shots.  It looked like AHA's speed wore down SCIR in the 2nd and 3rd periods.  Once AHA got their legs going it was a completely different game. 

AHA (group 1) vs. Indiana (group 2), AHA 7-2

Wrap:  AHA dominated this matchup.  Indiana's only goals were a fluke power-play goal flipped by the goalie from the side of the net up and over the goalie's head/shoulder and found the net (let's just say 99/100 times that shot misses the net), and the other goal was deflected by an AHA player past their own goalie.  Otherwise could well have been a shutout.  Shots were relatively even (low 20's) but AHA moved the puck really well and converted their scoring opportunities.
