Re: Einstein Finals: Curie (469, 1114, 2041) vs. Newton (67, 177, 294)
You underestimate what 294 and 254 could have done if left alone. Playing defense the way they did and running the cycle with 5 balls in it was probably the right move. 1114 only needed to throw one or two balls out of the 67 faux-cycle to gain essentially permanent ball advantage. I think they had the right strategy, just execution problems. Plus they had to play with an alliance that had 177 as their third best scorer. I mean, wow.
In my opinion, 67 won because they had 177, and 1114 didn't do as good of a job denying balls in the opponent's zone as they needed to do to make their cycle excel. The second match where they had a much better chance due to a high scoring auto was when 2041 got stuck in the goal.
