DarnCherry Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Gregor gets the ball again and sends a man in free. I wonder if hr read Schaads "article". Something certainly has set him on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarnCherry Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Byron Alvarez comes on for the guy Lemire injured and scores right away in the 72nd minute. 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Dan Antoniuk scores for Portland, after coming right of the bench in the 78th minute. 5-1. Edmonton should just phone in the win instead of showing up in Portland. So far in just under 2 games they've allowed 11 goals. At least they don't have that Rick Titus upsetting the apple cart.

DarnCherry Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Byron Alvarez in the 89th minute. 6-1. Oh well, after they ran up the score against Edmonton the last time they went on a big losing skid.

DarnCherry Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Match report with post game comments from Edmonton (Strobes site)are kind of amusing (nothing personal Strobe!): http://www.aviatorshangar.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1089350735&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2& Some quotes of note: quote:After traveling all night and arriving in Portland at 3am Thursday morning, the Edmonton Aviators took the field against the Western Conference powerhouse Timbers. Not to be too picky but since when does it take all night to travel from Seattle to Portland? Now to some quotes from coach Ongaro: quote:"When you can't run anymore, you can't play anymore," said Aviators Head Coach Ross Ongaro. "The guys put everything they had into it but they were just too tired in the second half." quote:This was just a case of us missing some players due to injury and suspension and the players that we had not being rested. We used all of our substitutions but couldn't keep up to Portland," said Ongaro. "The guys worked hard right up to the last second. They showed a lot of character; it's unfortunate they were too tired to play in the second half." Interesting quotes. All teams play back to back games and most are tired during the second game. But thats hardly an excuse for giving up SIX GOALS. Ongaro might be interested to know that other teams sometimes actually find a way to win the second game in two nights. IS there any scenario where Ongaro may be unhappy with his teams performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seether Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Krammerhead IS there any scenario where Ongaro may be unhappy with his teams performance? Publicly? I doubt it.

zico Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I don't know of any other league in the world that plays back-to-back games; it's ridiculous. I think the fans lose out. I guess it's a money-saving arrangement and I know some teams manage to win the second game. But it doesn't make sense to have a fully rested team play against a team that has played the night before. If the back-to-back games invole the same two teams then it's a fairer arrangement, but really the quality of the second game is likely less. I think there should be a minimum of one day between games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this reason the league will have to add more teams in the Western Conference in order to avoid these constant back-to-back series which are putting major strain on the players and clubs. The league will have to encourage clubs such as Tacoma, Utah, Winnipeg, Victoria, San Diego, etc... from joining the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
