DEADLINE IS SUNDAY NIGHT SEVEN MINUTE POWERPLAY HURTS TEAM Penalties costly as Jr. A Raiders watch win slip away BY TERRY ROUSE The Georgetown Gemini The Georgetown Junior A Raiders hockey team contin- ues to battle tough even though they just can't get any breaks. They fell short again this week dropping back to back games on the weekend. In Burlington on Friday night the Raiders were lead- ing 3-2 with just over five minutes to play in the game. A mistake in their own end turned the game around, as Burlington capitalized on their scoring opportunities. The Burlington squad then used the momentum from scoring the tying goal to even- tually take the lead late and hang on for a 4-3 win. Athome Saturday the team dropped another heart- breaker, 5-4 to the Streetsville Derbys. Again the Raiders were leading up 3-1 late in the sec- ond, when the team took a costly seven minute penalty. The young Raiders team is making inexperienced mis- takes, which continues to cost them. Streetsville exploded for four power play goals during that seven minute span at the end of the second and begin- ning of the third period. The Derby's then held on for a 5- 4 victory. "You can see this team is just about to start winning," said head coach and GM Rick Bince.
