Correct, a ten goal lead after two or in the 3rd ends it.  The opposing team handled it well this time but I have seen some that trash-talked, including in the hand-shake line and strutted as if they'd just won the Stanley Cup.

Worse yet, the coaches of said teams did nothing to discipline those kids nor did they play their 3rd or 4th liners even with a huge lead and the issue no longer in doubt.  Those kids never saw the ice.

For our kids, the lesson was that if everyone gives a bit more effort, a FULL effort, the results can be very different and the gap between them and a more talented team is much less and they can be competitive.
