and you’re entitled not to buy it.
But for me he’s way off the pace and I believe there are reasons for that. When you get the puck and you’re blowing you make a poor decision, when you go in for a hit and you’re blowing it isn’t as effective. He was blowing so hard he got dumped on his ass by Ferguson doing a reverse hit stood still!

3 point weekend is a great return when looking at the opposition and the NIC factor. Something I'm concerned about though is shipping 5 goals at home or scoring 5 and not winning, whichever way you want to look at it. We looked defensively weak at times. So frustrating to get caught out by Tait doing the usual Guildford move of gathering speed in their own zone being passed the puck and then he just has too much gas for Ritchie but you could see that unfolding easily and we didn't respond. Tait and Guildford have caught us out with that before. It's their go to play, along with letting Tait build up speed then they basically ice the puck but he get's their first. Simple, simple plays that we don't seem to be prepared for. Then there's Alvaro's goal. Three attempts to get that in and he was untouched right in front of Bouncy. Batch gifted them one too which was a slight blemish on what was a great performance by him - and a very decent season too.
I fully appreciate that we'll all have different views but Rhymshas performance last night after being out goes against what you are saying. Also anyone can get dumped on their ass by a reverse hit, and like him or loathe Ferguson is solid guy.
Agree with you about Batch though, he has grown into the season after a slower start and is playing very well. I've read it said about putting him up front but he is settled and playing well, let's not change that.

Absolutely, I heard River did well last night. Just feel for Chad. I like what he brings and his attitude but he’s been off the pace when he’s been called upon. He’s got to be taking that chance or it’s game over at the Devils, if it isn’t already.
You’re right, Ferguson is solid. Also takes the body and difficult to get him down. My kind of player. Top shithouser too.

Surprised (and not surprised!) that McAdam escaped DOPs punishment for the trip/whatever you want to call it on Barrow after it all kicked off. Could have resulted in a dangerous fall for an unsuspecting opponent after the play...
He didn't ice tonight against Panthers but thought he would get a mention if not a ban...
