A very interesting first match up for both teams in the season. The tilted both ways throughout the entire game. Both sides racking up goals. When breaking it down, the Raiders came hard in everything execpt the third. They had outshot or matched the Rap's in every period. Not a good look for the defense of the Raptors, but ultimately, Yuri Ushakov came in clutch, and battled the entire game, even if his defense was letting him down. Overall the teams played a fast game with little stoppages and it showed in the final score, with energy coming all the way until the shootout, where ultimately Ushakov bailed out the Raptors. Look forward to the Raiders righting the ship quickly. It was an unlucky win at that and did not seem that this was the Raiders being outplayed.
