Goalie, even, North left Eigner helpless too many times. I think all 4 non empty net goals were scored from between the circles or close to it. Enright had great rebound control and....
Defense, Tigers in a landslide, North struggled to generate good scoring chances,even on the power play. In 3 games totaling 153 minutes of hockey North had one 5 on 5 goal I think.
Forwards, Tigers, A lot has to with Farmington's defense but Poehling, Johnson, Enebak, and Taylor were largly ineffective and had more penalty minutes then points. I thought Smith was North's best forward in this game.... Siebenaler and Jensen were scoring and keeping North from scoring. Enebaks penalty turned the game, from a North power play at 0-0 to a Farmington goal at 4 on 4 that jump started Farmington to a 4-0 lead.
Coaching, even, it is a bad match up for North, has been all year.

Entertaining game in Rochester. Good crowd. Both bands. Hard fought and clean. Good reffing. Best 2 teams in the section.

Only complaint, the blatant and embarrassing amount of diving, embellishing, stick dropping, leg buckling, not even sure what else to call it by Lakeville North attempting to draw penalties. To have virtually the entire team doing this would suggest it is coached? Appears to be well practiced. But to have these big strong D-1 prospects flopping around dropping sticks was laughable. #9 dove so many times, when he actually did get tripped late in the 3rd, the ref didn't call it. So he chirped his way back down the ice resulting in a 10 minute misconduct. #21's dive and subsequent holding penalty set the stage for the 4 on 4 that started Farmington's scoring barrage. Lakeville needs PP time to score goals. So maybe it is a brilliant game plan? Just comical.

Referees are human. They don't like being shown up. If a team gains a reputation for diving it hurts them in the long run. Refs will let legitimate penalties go uncalled rather than risk falling for and acting job.
