Victoria faces Vancouver on Friday and Saturday
It wasn’t so much that the Victoria Royals lost again Sunday but the way they lost their fourth consecutive Western Hockey League game. Those sorts of defeats are not only spirit crushing but, in this case, maybe near season crushing as well.
“I saw no space on either of their last two goals. Two world junior champion players made big time plays,” said Royals GM and head coach Dan Price. But moral victories are hollow at this point with the P word, as in playoffs, being mentioned with more urgency. Kamloops clinched a playoff berth with the victory. Yes, it has reached that juncture. With 17 games remaining, the math is closing in on the ninth-place Royals , who are four points behind Kelowna for the eighth and final playoff slot in the Western Conference with the Rockets holding a massive trump card with five games in hand.
