Prague Lions 13 - 47 Nordic Storm


I love the idea of a grade system for games so we can keep track of the best (and worst) of all time. I don’t want to limit this to a per-league basis; it’s all fun and subjective. We are using a star system with 7 categories, then calculating the average for our total score. There is room to change categories in the future if needed. Finally, there will be a few bullet points, if needed, to explain why we have given a certain grade.



Offensive Performance - 2*


  • Nordic was one-half of the grade and looked very solid.

  • Jadrian Clark, Glen Toonga and Brendan Beaulieu are the big three.

  • Prague never got going. We need to see them run more early; it looked like they had a spark when they did.

  • Prague OL was very weak too.



Defensive Performance - 1*


  • No wild defensive moments.

  • Prague could not stop the run game and looked passive in pass defence.

  • Nordic played well defensively, but never had to deal with much.



Ref Performance - 3*


  • Kept the game at a fast pace.

  • Missed a call or two, but nothing detrimental.



Commentary (English) - 3*


  • Again, inoffensive, hard to communicate a blowout.



Big Moments/Game Drama - 1.5*


  • Just when it looked like Prague had something, they would shoot themselves in the foot with a turnover or sack.

  • Nordic were up early and never looked scared.

  • One or two nice catches by Nordic.

  • Toonga, coming back from injury, added a full point to this grade.



Individual Performances - 1.5*


  • Brendan Beaulieu was excellent and dominated from start to finish.

  • Jadrian Clark is looking like an early MVP favourite.



Ending - 0.5*


  • Backups in for Nordic.

  • Consolation score for Prague.



Overall Score - 1.78*


Blow out from one of the top teams in the league. Prague fall in power rankings.



Games MVP - Brendan Beaulieu


  • 3 TDs

  • Over 100 Yards (Stats not out yet)


Hatrick Hero
