Railers can’t bury their chances, lose 3-2 to Thunder in shootout

Sometimes, no matter how good or bad your team is, an opposing goaltender just seems to have your number.

Railers are who they are, and it’s not good

It's a shame the Worcester Railers can't play against Adirondack every game. That's because going into Friday night's matchup against the Norfolk Admirals the Railers were 3-1-1-1 against the Thunder and a woeful 3-6-1-0 against the rest of the ECHL.
