nope. not at all. that's your skew.DMac wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:16 pmIsn't that like saying draws/face offs don't really mean all that much, it's what your team can do with the ball once they get it that matters? The better team will, more often than not, win. Not so much the team who just has the best FOGO/draw specialist.wgdsr wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 7:49 pmhop was much better at everything else (cumulative) and all those faceoffs gave gt the only chance they had to win.DMac wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 7:00 pmAgain, yes...and respectfully.
Just find this one irresistable, Hop girls just beat GT 15-14.
Hop was 4-26 on draws.
Check the winning goal and assist out...wow!

Not so sure about that "likely take an L" part either....maybe, but not likely.
on that day, however good they are relative to hop, on that day they had absolutely no chance unless they were awesome on faceoffs. and they were. so they had a chance and came up one goal short. so faceoffs were supremely important that game.
same for loyola and syracuse. had they not dominated faceoffs, they would have lost. got them the win. good for them.
