15 other kids? How many kids did you bring?

Good job in beating the Hawks. Winning that many face-off and only winning by 2 would have me a little worried.

That could possibly be the densest thing i have ever heard 🤦‍♂️

If you don't quote what you're talking about, no one's going to know what your mean

Ha, yes. You could have been referring to 75% of the posts on here

☝🏻

Playing with older kids and blowing a big lead would have me very worried.

That is like saying, “Having a goalie that was as good as the Hawks goalie would have me a little worried.” Just plain.

Wasnt there, but I kind of agree. If a FO dominates and wins every FO and you win by 2, or a goalie makes 18 saves (not saying that happened, wasnt there) and you win by 2 that seems like something that will average out over time.

I don't think it is a dense observation at all. If a team dominates face offs and wins only by two, it means that they were carried by one player and out-played in other facets of the game.
I didn't see the game and I don't know (or care) if it is true, but to people who know the game, that is certainly reasonable/intelligent post-game commentary.

Hawks were up 4-0 and then proceeded to be outscored 7- 1; LI Express started slow and then simply dominated the entire second half once they 'woke up' in all aspects of the game.

It was a great game all around. Both teams should be proud of how they played. Hawks came out strong and took a 4-0 lead. Once Express scored their first goal, the momentum completely shifted and they out scored the Hawks 7-1 in the remainder of the game. Express kids kept their composure and came back. As I said, it was a great game against good competition and isn’t that what it is all about?

Neither of these teams will win the world series

Who you got then? Please don't say Tigers and their one man show!!!

Another other Elite Md teams in action this past weekend? Crabs, BLC, FCA, Looney's, Madlax etc?

they are clearly 2 out of a handful of favorites, who is winning the WS in July?

I would bet that the prior poster's dark horse team is Black Ops. They have a lot of talent and good coaching, so their parents are pretty excited. But they are a combined team with little practice, so doing most of their boasting anonymously. Anyhow that is my theory.

Blacks Ops vs Express this Saturday. Black Ops will be be exposed soon enough.

You are just trolling....

This team does have a lot of talent and if given enough time to practice and play together could make some noise. However I agree with limited time together it will be impossible to beat teams like the Express, Hawks, Tigers etc. Express by at least 4 on Saturday.

My son plays on a 25 team so I watched the game as his team was between games. Very competitive. A key play in the game occurred with maybe 5 mins to play and score tied 5 5. Hawks middie was attempting to clear and was pretty obviously tripped from behind and flew in the air thereby losing the ball. The ref was way out of position and did not throw the flag. Express scooped the ball and immediately scored on a fast break as the Hawks middie remained on the ground and was out of the play. Would have been interesting to see outcome had ref made the call sending Hawks on 1 minute EMO. Had they scored chances are Express would have won the face off and been under pressure to score with short time from a set.

What was cool to see was the camaraderie between Express parents and Hawks parents who agreed it was an obvious trip with each side showing support for the Hawks middle and recognizing the quick play of Express attack. Not what you see on this board but a positive reflection of parents from both clubs.

Again, a really well played game from 2 strong and well coached teams.

Not a real parent obviously, Hawks Player was tripped on purpose while ref ( obviously bias against Hawks entire game ) was turning a blind eye to it in favor of Express. The Express player immediately scored on this brazen no call while all Hawks parents went into outer space with Express telling them it wasnt a trip, not only wasnt a trip, but Hawks had much more non calls during game. Hawks parents went into protest mode and berated ref for rest of game. While Express parents screamed at ref to call some their way...,All in All, a typical youth game .

Just keep on trolling.

Sounds like a love fest.

So who is the expected front runner in the North? LI Express, NJ Express, or Sweetlax? Doesn’t seem like anyone is dominating...

Where is that game?

I also watched in between my son's games. Another key play was when a Hawks player (middie I think) broke his stick on a check while on D and had to run off. Express took advantage of the 6 on 5 as a good team would and scored. I didn't see it all, but the teams seemed pretty even and they have to be top favorites for a rematch in July.

Not NJ Express, they would be on the East

Great stealth try there Hawks everyone is fooled with your trickery. Wait until you lose to Madlax, Crabs and maybe Looneys. That is when the panic sets in!

You've seen the East list right? Crabs and Looneys are no where on it.

Really only 5 Elite level teams, but it makes them feel good to be in the top division.

HOCO is all that counts!

A lot of talent with a team made up of VLC/BLC? LOL c'mon now; hilarious.

What are predictions for this weekend? Does Express go defeated?

The top players on those teams can play with anybody, even your revered Hawks. Plus I think they added kids from Looneys. But if it makes you feel good to laugh at seventh graders, keep up the LOL.

What tournament?
