Eagles roughed up in game 1

[Greg_Di 1,042]

Maybe it was the nagging injury he just recovered from or just a bad day in the office but the first game of the season for Roger Eagles is one to forget.

Roger got lit up 5 times on only 25 shots as LA lost 5-1 to Calgary. It was a disappointing start to the season for Roger who trained significantly in the off-season to improve on his play.

 

"It just wasn't good. I think this is my worst start in the first regular season game ever. I felt ready but you know maybe that injury wasn't fully healed" Roger said after the game " Calgary is a good team but there is now way I should have let in five. Lesson learned and back to the drawing board we go. This was just unacceptable play from myself"

 

The second game against Calgary as well was much better as Roger settled in and only allowed 2 goals on 33 shots in a 2-0 loss.

 

"It was a much better game, I saw the puck better and this is how it should of been in the first game" Roger said after the second game " It can only get better from here and I believe if we continue to play like we did in this second game that we will see some wins in no time"
