Wow….same type and calibre of hockey they were playing back in October/November. Nothing has changed except we got older and the excuses are different. Five of the last six seasons have been mediocre and some terrible. Something must be done. Lethbridge gave us all those top picks in the big deal last year. We’re still awful and they’re soaring. Time to “CLEAN HOUSE” from Top to Bottom.
Regina Pat’s Hockey Club, lethargic while becoming pathetic. Current ownership should call it a day, sell the team to some ex professional NHL player who knows the game.
