Back on Nov. 19, the Prince Albert Raiders returned home after a 15-hour bus trip from Spokane, Washington following three straight losses against Everett, Tri City, and Spokane. Players and staff alike were ready for a break.
If you asked any of them at that point what they would think of picking up points in six of their next seven games, I’m sure every single person on that bus would consider that a success. Seven games later, that’s what the team has done with two wins, one regulation loss, two overtime losses, and two shootout losses in that span.
Make no mistake, these are positive results for a Raider team that needs to scratch and claw for positioning in the brutally tough East Division. However, looking at each of these games on a case-by-case basis, it’s hard not to get greedy and wish for a couple more points.
