I'm watching a replay of the Iroquois Canada game. There is a moment at 3:29 of the 2nd that sums up the Iroquois upside and downside perfectly. Lyle Thompson receives the ball all alone on the right side of the cage. A Canadian defender gets to him just in time to hold him from spinning to the front of the cage. Lyle is not strong enough to bull past him, nor the Canadian's defense slipshod enough that Lyle could pivot past or around him. So, almost in slow motion, Lyle attempt to setup his overthe shoulder no-look shot. All the while two Iroquois, 88 and 81, are all alone on the right side of the cage, big time.

As Lyle sets up his shot, 88 points to 81 and I assume, screams 'he's open'. A 4th Iroquois player right in front of Lyle does the same. So, in one frame you have two Iroquois pointing to a 3rd whom is standing on the doorstep. Meanwhile 2 other Canadian defenders finally come into frame. Lyle looks like he's in quicksand as he takes his shot. The goalie scoops it up and it goes the other way. Canada ultimately goes on a 10-2 run over the remaining two quarters. Tough pass to make, but had he been looking to pass it would have been an easy score.

After his amazing season, I wonder if he was simply shocked there were humans in the world whom could actually defend him?
