POST GAME: Its a tie : RBNY 1 - TFC 1

By: Dave Martinez | May 1st, 2008

So my prediction was only half right.

The Bulls take one away from the surging Maple Leafs, with a well earned point on the road. They really did well in keeping possession and putting on pressure - but the finishing was completely ghost.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Seth Stammler impressed me tonite. He was the Dema Kovalenko we all thought was lost. Stammlers presence neutralized the attack, in particular, Amado Guevara. Excellent play tonite.

TURNING POINT OF THE MATCH

Do ties have turning points? To be honest, I can’t name one. I guess its Van Den Berghs excellent set piece tying goal. The game turned from a loss to a tie. Makes sense . . .

WHAT THE?! MOMENT OF THE MATCH

The Starting Line Up takes it tonite. Hunter Freeman starting! Mike Magee at central! Jozy Altidore on the left wing?! For those that thought the 3-5-2 would be snuck in a bit more were mistaken. 4-5-1 ruled, and goal scorer Dave Van Den Bergh even fell back for some LB work. What made things nuttier was seeing Dane Richards getting minutes as well. Who saw any of that coming?

SPECIAL ED PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Greg Sutton played well, but what was he thinking on that Dave Van Den Bergh strike?! I credit DVB for the goal 100%, but Sutton did not do his part in covering the net, period. He gambled more than he should have.

    Agreed with the Sutton point … I was screaming at him from the stands last night, horrible positioning.

    Hey Bruno,

    Yea, his positioning was shocking. Again, not taking anything away from DVB, but Sutton didnt help situations.

    And yes. Any point from that hell pit is a well earned, needed and gainful point.
