The Dogs are coming off the 2-1 short-end-of-the-stick loss last night in Nanaimo - just imagine for one second that the Dogs miss the playoffs by one point. Having games where you aren't even given a fair chance to compete is a much bigger deal when it might end your season early, wouldn't you agree?
On the other side of it the Capitals are coming off a 6-3 loss at home last night against Victoria that snapped a two game winning streak.
The Dogs have owned the season series this year, taking 5 of 6 games played between the teams and the last two straight - both in Duncan, by scores of 1-0 and 5-3. However, the lone Caps win came the last time these teams met at the Dog Pound by a score of 3-1 in early November

How can u say the dogs didn't have a fair chance?? There and only there fault. Dogs couldn't keep up with the clips last night, and had to resort to hooks and cheap hits.
Like I said last night, in case you missed it:
"The Dogs needed better discipline tonight ...I can disect every bad call, good call, and bad non-call or good non-call, Cyr's board on Dorais vs Varleys CFB on Kramer...but the effort it would take writing it all would take way more time than the topic deserves."
And to further follow that comment up - In the end it is a matter that should be discussed with and sorted out by - the league, the referee in chief, and ultimately BCAHA and the CHA. Not me.
In games where an official hangs 11 pps on one team (where that team isn't being a total gong show, which the Dogs weren't) and only 5 on the other team the problem isn't so much the application of the rules that saw 11 go one way - its the bias and different standard that exists that only saw 5 go the other way.
On almost EVERY power play for one team, if you look hard enough, you can call ANOTHER minor against the defending team. Most officials just don't do it all the time, repeatedly to the same team.
Like I said, this is more discussion time than this topic deserves. You might be better suited to the league message board.
It seems we seen 2 different refs last night. I just think the voice of the dogs gave no credit where credit is do. But to make excuses (or blame ref). Disrespectful to the clips who just plain out worked out and out hustled the opposition.
p.s.
S mitchell has got to be one of the hardest working players I have seen.
Good things to come for this kid.
