Facing a full “Raider Nation” of 14 plus skaters, CU ‘s 8 skaters
fought gallantly , but could not hang on , succumbing to a 6-5
defeat. Mike “Smitty “ Smith was stellar
between the pipes, handling more rubber
than a guidance counsellor at an all-girls prep school.
The brothers Gray, reunited upfront for the first time this
season, were an offense threat all evening.
Elder sibling Warren “Wheels “ Gray , lead all scorers with a “Hattie”,
two of which were gifts from younger
brother Jeremy .
Garrret “ The Grain Buyer” Watson, playing in his
second consecutive game for the rouge blanc and grise , although held scoreless, played a strong
defensive game.
Nursing the effects of a “long day at the curling club”,
stalwart d-man Blaine “El Presidente” Campbell, still managed to log 60 minutes.
Frustrated with the forwards floating around center ice, Campbell was heard
commenting between gasps, “Stay on the fucking boards Mini, on the fucking
boards!”
Making his season debut, “Dancing” Danton Ashcroft was also
searching the bench for oxygen. Playing alongside Campbell for the entire game,
the young defensemen potted his first goal of the season despite coughing a
lung.
This loss to the Raiders evens the season series at a game
apiece.
