That's a very young Swarm team and once they started to lose the momentum, they didn't know how to get it back. I think the other thing is that Brodie Macdonald simply isn't a great goaltender. He had a lot of balls just hitting him throughout the game. He is a big guy so that's part of his approach - but when you have Dickson just ripping one off his big toe and he doesn't react - that's telling.
The game should have been closer at half time based on that alone, but once the Riggers started to put balls behind him - I think they knew they could score enough to come back.
Fun game and a big win. 3-3 now instead of 0-6 this time last year.
The Rush are in an entire class right now in the league. The rest of the league (except the Rock) are just a big mess of teams that can beat each other on any given night.
