The big story-line of this match was already mentioned by many, the rematch of last year's Four-Star Cup finalists sure brought many to this game, but the serious and underlying story-line is a concerning low amount of shots from Anaheim. Through three entire periods the entire Outlaws lineup only managed to make 19 shots total. Only two players had three shots in the game, Gordon Bombay and Gunnar Petrov, but the rest of the lineup had anywhere from zero to two shots total. This game was only #22 in a season that would stretch far beyond it, and one game does not a season make, but it would be foolish to ignore the criminally (hah!) low shots from Anaheim as a potential risk for the future.
