Halifax Raiders 02/12/2019 ISSUE 51.3 THE BOARD (SPECIAL) REPORT Preview: Tempers to boil over as Halifax Raiders face Anchorage Armada These Raiders-Armada matchups capture the essence of old school hockey (with less display of skill) every single time. Game Time: 7 p.m. Pacific Time TV: Fox Sports Ocho, Semi- Prime Ticket, ESPN(-) Radio: iKindaHeart Radio The Opposition: Anchorage Armada What to Watch: It’s no secret that when the Halifax Raiders and Anchorage Armada play against each other, it is must watch television for SMJHL hockey fans. It doesn’t seem matter what part of the season it is or where both teams are in the standings. The buildup to these games and what occurs during them clearly illustrates the animosity they have towards each to each other. I mean, Raiders fans started calling Anchorage’s barn “Forum Center West” for crying out loud. You can take a look at the all these games but by looking solely at S50 meetings alone, the pair that is more iconic than peanut butter and jelly have combined for 35.5 hits per game. Halifax has lost three of the last four games against them. Fighting is dying a slow death, but there is no shortage of brouhahas in this crosstown rivalry that have provided such memorable moments. From Jay Reeve’s superman punch to a line brawl or when Daniel Bischoff of all people got involved. Part of me wishes Edmond Balls was between the benches to provide commentary. Here now in S50, Halifax and Anchorage are in very different positions in the standings but the road to how it got there is more puzzling PAGE 1 THE BOARD (SPECIAL) REPORT than a Jackson Pollock painting. The Raiders dominated in early October but are finding themselves in situations with less chances to win, being involved in multiple play from behind games, the most recent occurrence a 6-4 route from the Armada squad.
