But Dan MacRae’s return Saturday night to the Saddledome came with hopes of squashing any kind of party planned by the host Calgary Roughnecks. “Some early struggles obviously, but not too bad overall,” said MacRae, whose Riptide didn’t exactly roll into Calgary for this NLL tilt. “After the expansion draft, you kind of start seeing the pieces kind of fall into place,” MacRae said. “It was definitely hard leaving the Roughnecks … it’s all I’ve known,” continued the 31-year-old MacRae, the Riggers first-round choice (sixth overall) in the 2010 NLL Entry Draft. Roughnecks scratches for the game against the Riptide were D Liam LeClair and D Anthony Kalinich … Scratches for the Riptide were D Myles Jones and F Travis Longboat.
