Although a furious onslaught came close to tying the game late in Friday night’s contest, the RoadRunners 11 game win streak was snapped in a 3-2 loss to the Springfield Jr. Blues at Landon Arena.
Being outshot 11-2 in the first frame, RoadRunner’s coach Scott Langer was quick to point to a rough first period in being a main problem in the defeat.
“That’s what caught up to us there was our lack of interest in the first period,” Langer said after Friday’s game. “It was probably the worst first period I’ve seen since the team’s been here. You can’t always think you’re going to play a couple periods and win a hockey game.”
