We're back for Game #2

Hello again. I'm back in front of my computer for Trinity Western v. Laval, which probably won't be quite as skillful a game as York v. Montreal, but perhaps somewhat more passionately played--a bit like MLS in that regard: great drive, but a bit lower in the technique department.

See, Trinity are Canada West runners-up and according to "Gordon" the colour guy, didn't play overly well in their 1-0 win over Laurier. Laval, on the other hand, come in with a bit more excitement about them--they scored four unanswered goals to knock off host and favourite Carleton 4-1. That said, play-by-play guy Mark Masters writes in his blog on the subject that "the Canada West runners-up are not regarded as a favourite in the tournament and their 1-0 quarterfinal victory against the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks was far from convincing."

So brace yourself for a chippy game here. Not that there won't be skill. It takes a certain level of skill to get to CIS nationals.

TWU don't exactly score buckets of goals, either. Daniel Lowen has 7 in 14 games, and a couple of other strikers have 4.

So, in other words, this is the perfect game to be following while eating supper.
