Roughnecks on verge of folding

[Resolute 14]

Refused to cheer? Hell, I was booing!

And yeah, Poulin's save was ridiculous. Especially in an 8-6 game.

Announced 10,000 for the game, with what looked like a typical crowd, despite the fact that they were going up against the UFC and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I guess Bannister's idiotic blustering about having to host the west final on the road never came to pass.

RNecks lose, but at least they won't have that frustrating, sinking feeling like they should have won.

Tons of mental errors, and a dumb 5 min penalty in the 3rd did them in. They were outplayed for most the game. It would be like trying to win a basketball game while being boxed out of the paint for the whole game.

So the Flames bought the Roughnecks (finally).

How does Mike Board, the former Flames website director, qualify to be the new Roughnecks GM?

[Julio]

-He played the game up to Junior A in Ontario
-Coached some minor lacrosse, including helping with bantam Team Alberta
-He's already working for the Flames organization.

Im glad Brad Bannister will be there to coach him for the first lil while but really all Board has to do is keep this team together. There's so much young talent on this team and 2 more first round draft picks in the next draft coming through.

Go Roughneck Go

That's good for sure. I agree, hated him as an owner, but can't complain that he was a good GM. I hope any lessons Board needs to learn he learns before Brad leaves. Can't wait till next season. Disappointing playoff, but promising team still.

BUMP.

Anyone received their season ticket renewal packs yet??
