Sad! No one likes to see a team of young men being humiliated.
Raiders have 3 16 yr olds amd 6 17 yr olds on the team…relish this while you can it won't always be this way!
Lost respect for Raiders tonight after they were continually "head hunting" after getting down on the scoreboard. The potential to end a players career with cheap head shots like Johnson on Harris has no place in hockey. Hopefully the League takes the appropriate steps against him and the Raiders.
continually head hunting? A guy goes to make a check misses and contacts his head unintentionally…whiners
I guess they should have called the game midway through the second period. PA will get better, all teams have up and down years.
It's a fine line. It's also humiliating to have a team play keep away and take no shots on net. Looks like every shot was going in. Goalies should have stopped more.
… poster #2….it's always going to be that way in PA….it is every year.
… the Pats have 2−16 year olds and 6-17 year olds…don't hold your breath…
… it all starts at the top
Amazing what one third of one season in the last thirty years does to people. After this season maybe that Pats can play the winners of the Stanley Cup! Dopes
Prince Albert's goaltending I thought was very poor. The Pat's easily could have scored 15 with all the chances they had.
MY FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR… KIND OF A BLOWOUT. THE PATS REALLY OUT WORKED THEM ALONG THE BOARDS, AND SEEMED TO COME UP WAY MORE PUCKS THAN YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY DESERVED. AT LEAST THERE WAS A COUPLE FIGHTS TO KEEP THINGS INTERESTING.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH… AFTER 10+ MAYBE A QUICK TOOT OF THE GOAL HORN IS ENOUGH… IS REPEATED BLASTING TO CELEBRATE THE DOZEN REALLY NECESSARY?
