1) A decent showing by both teams this game. Colorado came into the game with a fresh win at their back with the third game in a row against Anchorage.  The Armada had different plans from the prior game and it showed with a brilliant showing against a talented Raptors team. Chris de Siren has some work to do with passing, several of his passes being intercepted, though he did get an Assist on an awesome shot by Cyril Vyskoc. Colorado has some work to do in the offensive zone themselves but being only three games in after tonight's game, it is entirely too early to gauge where the team will land in the standings by the end of the regular season.

2) The Armada had a rather rough time in the faceoff circle as well tonight. Winning a total of 35 faceoffs in 78 oppurtunities with a 44% success rate. This was a blemish which was in stark contrast to the defensive aptitude displayed by them through the whole game. The Raptors struggled with discipline throughout the game with six total penalties with half coming in the second period alone, but that struggle didn't translate into much success for Anchorage as well as they only managed to capitalize on one of those attempts with a final showing of 16% on the Power Play conversion.

3) The goalies for both teams also deserve a bunch of credit for the great game that ensued tonight. Ian Venables managed to stop 19 of 21 shots with Colorado testing his mettle a mere 12 seconds into the game which did not dishearten Ian in any way. Although down 2 to 1 at the end of the first, Anchorage managed to support Ian allowing him to blank the Raptors for the remainder of the game.  Samat Beibitzhanov also had a fantastic game in net as well stopping 24 of 27 shots and blanking Anchorage in the third period after several flashy saves.
