Familiar look

Although the uniforms were a different color - Royal blue instead of regal purple -- the outcome was pretty much the same for the Royals tonight, dropping another game, this time to the Cyclones, 5-3.

Hard to believe six months ago I made an 8-hour car trip to see the Royals play what turned out to be their last game of the season against the Cyclones in the playoffs. At the time, the Cyclones and Royals were two of the best teams in the conference.

Things sure have changed. The Cyclones came into tonight's game with 1 point on the season, while the Royals had a total of 2.

Tonight, the Royals again got down early. On the season they've been outscored 9-3 in the first period. D-zone breakdowns and playing from behind are costing the Royals. The Royals need to get it turned around soon before they fall too far behind.
