Blazers feel they deserved better during five-game losing streak
KAMLOOPS — The Blazers came out of the gates guns ablazing with two wins over a rebuilding Kelowna Rockets team and looked like early contenders for the B.C. Division.
Since then, Serge Lajoie’s squad has dropped five games in a row and sit second-to-last in the division.
“So have people stopped thinking we can win the division? Is that what you’re insinuating?” asked the first-year Blazers head coach Lajoie. “I don’t think much has changed. We knew it was going to be a process, we would have to put the building blocks in place for us to continue to be better from an individual standpoint, from a team standpoint.”
Lajoie says the five-game losing streak has opened the team’s eyes to the fact everyone needs to contribute. But he feels the team’s deserved better during this recent skid.
