Prince George beats Victoria 6-5
There was nothing cartoonish about the Victoria Royals’ performance for much of Saturday night, even if they were sporting SpongeBob SquarePants jerseys.
“There were some critical errors after the lead and it’s infuriating and they will be corrected overnight [the Royals face the Everett Silvertips in a 3 p.m. matinee today at the Memorial Centre],” said Royals GM and head coach Dan Price.The overtime loss left Victoria eight points behind Kelowna, with the Rockets holding three games in hand, in the Royals’ rapidly-diminishing hopes of capturing the eighth and final playoff berth in the Western Conference with only 10 games remaining.
“Justin Kipkie is going to be an NHL draft pick this year,” predicted Price, despite that that six-foot-three native of Calgary was not cited by Central Scouting in its mid-season rankings for the 2023 NHL draft. It’s pick your poison in the Cougars’ crease with Tyler Brennan a fourth-round NHL draft pick of the New Jersey Devils and Ty Young a fifth-round draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks. Prince went with Young on Saturday evening and he made 29 saves. Braden Holt stopped 39 shots for Victoria.
