Riga After 25 Games Played

Thoughts After 25 Games

 

OK, so the Riga Reign has played 25 games thus far.  We are sporting a very underwhelming record of W:12, L:12, OTL:1 for a total of 25 points.  Despite having won the last three games, the Reign are languishing in fifth spot in their conference, only one point ahead of sixth place Davos.  Granted the Reign is only 3 points out of third place,but the season has that feeling of seasons past.  We are going to struggle to make the postseason.  Then, at the very last moment, the STHS Gods will rear back and somehow cause the Reign to, once again, come up a day late and a dollar short.  Our Goals Against is very reasonable, but, as in past seasons, the Achilles Heel of the Riga Reign is the inability to score more often.   Management in past seasons have traded for elite goal scorers both in the forward positions as well as defencemen, but all to no avail,  Those elite players, generally, had very average season’s with the Reign.  Maybe it’s the Baltic Sea air, or maybe it is the exciting Riga nightlife.  Lets hope for a better outcome this season.
