There are a couple things that need to be fixed for the Colorado Raptors to improve their current skid in the standings and become the team that on paper, should be a legitimate SMJHL contender. The first thing is change of luck. The Raptors team has very strong possession numbers with Juni Panda and Rocko Strong being top 5 in the entire league. Normally when a team controls the puck and puts pucks on net, they tend to go in more than they should right now. If luck changes even just a little bit, then the Raptors should see a huge improvement.

The second thing that needs to be fixed is the Raptors falling behind early and often even while retaining strong possession numbers. This starts with the starting netminder Yanno Rosejac who currently sports the 4th worst Goals Against Average and the third worst save percentage of all starters in the league. Rosejac is still young so he will have time to improve and hopefully come playoff time he finds his footing and will help lead the Raptors to the promise land.
