^Line-up was very thin with both Dickson and Berg still out. But then you also didn't have Jesse King who was a very late scratch. So you basically had Dobbie on the left doing all he could, and Duch on the right. The rest was largely guys like Loewen who you don't usually rely on for offense or rookies/sophmores like Pace (who was very good), Dickson and Boushy.
Dobbie was dominant in the first half but they really keyed on him in the second half and Bold turned back into the Bold from a few years back.
But the real difference was Del Bianco who just didn't have a good night and never got on track.
No excuses for blowing a lead like that, but they didn't get saves. It was a game they should have had.
Puts pressure in the team to sign one of Dickson or Berg now. The line-up just doesn't have enough weapons. Getting King back will help.
