Blackier and Clark upset over Kingfishers' tactics

Lepreau, NB - Matt Clark and Chris Blackier are hopping mad and said they have sought legal advice on the matter. The two Lepreau Pirates executives are questioning how the Fundy Kingfishers can hire the quality of coaching they have appeared to do. Blackier noted, "I looked on the bench and they had Taylor back there coaching them. Yeah, the same Taylor that has 873 career goals. I didn't like it at first and when they poured it on in the third period Tuesday night and won, I was fuming. We don't have the resources to hire consultants or coaching and they do? I feel they got an unfair advantage and I'd like somebody to do something about it."

Kingfishers GM Matty Walsh was sympathetic but not to the point where he was willing to hand back the two points. "Any time you can get help like that, you take it. We were down 5-3 after two periods. Taylor shuffled the deck and we came out flying. You really can polish a turd, man," added Walsh.
