Not much interest in the Ram/Warrior game. Just doesn't have the same meaning to it since the teams are in two different classes. Should be a good game, but the "electricity" just isn't there anymore.

Rams 4-2

You're right about there not being much interest in the game but I disagree with your reasoning. A couple of years ago when they played there was still plenty of electricity in the both arenas for the games.

The difference between this years game is that the teams aren't as good as they normally are. Neither of them are the front runner for their sections or something like that. There was always electricity when these two teams played because you could count on good hockey being played by good teams. I'm not sure that will be the case this year.

It wasn't necessarily the rivalry that brought the excitement to the fans. It was the fact that people knew they were going to see two teams with a lot of talent go out there and put on a good show. Hopefully that factor will return in a few years.

And a great showing by the young Rams...Strand with a hat trick.
