Re: Einstein Finals: Curie (469, 1114, 2041) vs. Newton (67, 177, 294)

2041 being stuck in goal was the biggest reason they lost in the second match. In the first match 1114 going into their home zone seemed to be the decision that prevented them from winning. Once 1114 was back there the zone was too crowded for 469's loop to work (one ball hit 1114). Then once 1114 tried to stay out of the way they ended up waiting for seconds at a time for balls to roll off before trying to score the other balls at home.

Although I thought that was a major flaw in the Curie strategy, 294's ability to stop the loop while being defended against was amazing. I watched 2041 almost the whole time on Einstein and while 294 was unable to break away for enough time to shoot balls they were able to maneuver around enough to stop a significant number of balls being scored by 469.
