The crowd was a major bummer. Small and had no energy. I think the screw-ups with the STH's might have been a factor.

Numerous factors can be blamed. The Riggers phone number and website was down part of the week. Ill-timed to say the least. Some STHs were also pretty peeved about the free ticket giveaway from earlier. Some were also pissed off about the price of playoff tickets overall.
Anyhoo the story of the game was the play of Dallas Eliuk - the 'necks would have had a better chance in this one if Matt Disher had stayed in. Eliuk for a 43 year old is still pretty spry.
Anyhoo Silcott says he doesn't anticipate many changes with this team in the off-season. They'll lose the Arizona players they got in the dispersal draft and I'm sure what the status of Paddy Campbell is but apart from that the core will likely remain in tact.
