The Worcester Railers once again had their playoff destiny in their own hands Sunday afternoon at Colisée Vidéotron, and in their usual lack of testicular fortitude that this franchise has become known for, managed just 16 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Trois-Rivières Lions.
That coupled with Maine’s overtime win over Adirondack ends another Worcester hockey season early.
No need to say anything else.
