TORONTO - There was flow, there was structure — but the execution in scoring was not there for the Toronto Sceptres.

Toronto's home-opener Saturday was spoiled with a 3-1 loss to the Boston Fleet, who were largely outplayed offensively and were dominated on puck possession.

But as Sceptres head coach Troy Ryan put it, a lot of his players would like to have some plays back.

"We just we gotta be better offensively and we're not gonna solve this in five or six games," Ryan said. "It's probably gonna take a while, but a team that generally has a lot of physicality or aggression or plays an energy game, sometimes the composure to stay off to the weak side and watch things unfold and join offensively can benefit you. I don't think we did a great job on the weak side of the ice."
