An absolute lesson by Astana on being clinical. 3 soft goals at the start of periods where we were caught napping yet again this season.
I thought we were the better team for at least 80% of each period, but that soft belly keeps showing itself.
You don’t win championships with a poor...
They had 9 mins of PP in that period, and outside of the goal in the opening period, we had all the best chances and zone time. Probably the best period we’ve played all year all things considered!
Don’t want to sound like I’m fawning over ex-players but we haven’t replaced Register or Mikkelson for my money. Big game temperaments - you can’t coach that.
Big character win! Would’ve been easy after the first to let the game drift away - particularly with the missing players and recent schedule.
Need players back for the weekend though, let’s hope they rest up quickly!
I personally would prefer a 1b Goalie to replace Booth, but I think we may go down the GB backup route.
Based on Alderson coming in - who do we let go from the Roster with everyone fit?
I think we’ll be going for Preece or Hedley from NIHL - that will allow us to scratch 2 Brit skaters potentially and play Pietroniro, Alderson & Mosey. The timing on this announcement with Mosey back this weekend?
