Late Vancouver Canucks reporter Jason Botchford liked to say that. It could certainly apply to the Vancouver Giants on Wednesday, as they went from looking like they had no business in the WHL final with the Prince Albert Raiders in an 8-2 loss on Tuesday to giving Prince Albert everything they could handle in a 1-0 Raiders win at the Langley Events Centre.
Vancouver had a glorious chance with 7:36 remaining, when Ian Scott sprawled across the crease to stone Alex Kannok Leipert with his glove. Giants fans had to feel good when Tendeck got his shoulder on a Dante Hannoun chance at 0:24, and Vancouver was awarded the first power play at 10:38, when Justin Nachbaur slashed Bowen Byram. Byram, to his credit, turned and skated away.
Roman had to go back to Slovakia to write exams to ensure his high school graduation and missed three of the final four regular season encounters doing that. He hadn’t been as noticeable in the early portion of the playoffs. The elder Byram, a left winger, was a fourth-round pick of the Islanders in 1986. He got into five NHL games before finishing his pro career in Europe.
No firepower ... Giants better get their act together. RAIDERS are good!
