Empty net & we dump in dump in and change with NO puck pressure. There's some great coaching. Leave CC in Kootenay when you load the bus. This experiment is over.

Sam Reinhart first ever fight and gets the decision over Morissey. I realize Morissey is not a fighter either but him getting the instigator hurt. Kootenay was inspired by their captain and came on too strong from that point on. However their effort was good and I have no doubt they will beat Swift Current at home.
I said at the start of the year this was the worst thing they could do was bring in CC as head coach. every kid that has ever played for him hates him, and that is okay as long as they respect him, but they don't!!! Josh and Leon both despise the guy and without them this franchise has nothing!!
Wapitikev, please put your positive spin on this or can you?
I predicted that the team would get 80 points this year.
I stopped having positive things to say on January 19th.
These days my positivity is limited to individual efforts, when warranted, since that is all that the team is showing me.
PS - didn't watch the game last night...how the he77 did we give up a goal after the empty net one?

If this team misses the playoffs, ticket prices better drop next season because in the larger scheme of things, it's going to be a hard sell and it will soon come down to attendance #'s on a Prince George scale. You can't continually increase prices and punish those who invest because if you only increase, are we soon to see $25-30 ticket prices for ****ing junior hockey? At that juncture, the building will be empty and we won't have a team much longer.
If I renew my season tickets for 2014-2015, I want a reduced rate and an apology letter. At least we'll get to see playoff hockey in the form of the Bears and Mintos.
If he stays til end of season I will not renew my 4 sets of season tickets
Seven points out of playoff spot. 21 games left. Yikes, and thank you Bruno, and the board of directors. Consider me an ex-raider fan.
You guys have so much talent in PA that being that far out of a playoff spot just doesn't seem right.... I really believe you have more elite talent then the Pats do, I think it does come down to coaching and getting the most out of your players who are not among your top 6 players, I think the Pats have done a great job getting the best out of players who are not in the top 6 and that is the difference between the 2 teams. A guy like Stephenson is just learning how to take over a game which can be related to his last 2 seasons of having missed a lot of time due to injuries, guys like Draisaitl & Morrissey have learned to be dominate from not having missed development due to long term injuries.Quote:

Lots of pressure is right! You gotta win to stay viable in a small market! Which leads me to wonder what happened to the Raiders this year? At the start of the year, they were picked by many to finish 3rd in the conference, behind Calgary and Edmonton. But now your scraping desperately to get into the playoffs? A huge slide in the standings? Even after big trades made by your team at the deadline. Just wondering why this may have happened? The Broncos were projected to be battling the Raiders for top spot in the division, not the Pats or WheatKings. This has got to hurt!!
Same thing happened to the Raiders last season as well but they stayed in the playoff race prob mainly to due with the warriors, wheat kings & pats being so bad last year. I know I said a few times last year after games in Regina that the Raiders didn't impress me much, that they were overrated & took a lot of heat for that but yet I was right in the end.
I never want to see the Raiders Broncos or Warriors leave this league, I hope something caan be done to keep them above water. I think there is a reason why the Raiders have changed there jersey look what twice in the last 10yrs (not sure on the actual time frame) it all comes down to money & jersey sales are the easiest way to make some profit.
