The Roughnecks look to get back on the right track. After being taken to the wood shed. By the Rush 19-12 last night. Dane Dobbie 28 Pts (12G 16A) paces the Roughnecks offense.
Wild game in Toronto. As teams combined for 37 goals. Shayne Jackson 10 Pts (4g 6a) and Johnny Powless 7Pts (4g 3a) led the Swarm. Lyle Thompson had a ten point night. With two goals and eight assists.
With the loss the Rock drop to 0-5. Rob Hellyer 10 Pts (3g 7a) led the Rock. Time for heads to roll in Toronto? Start with the GM. With a couple weeks til the next game. Changes have to be coming in some fashion?
