Edinburgh - Manchester

#2
I watched on the webcast, got a bit farcical to be honest. With Chubak in net, Caps looked dangerous going forward but were terrible at defending. Chubak took a puck to the mask (it got stuck in his face grill) and got a cut to his eye. Forshall came in, he's played very few minutes in his career, and looked very poor. First shot went in and he lost all confidence, but at the same point Caps skaters lost heart and didn't improve their defending. Storm were 11-4 up so decided to go to their backup. He only started playing a few years ago, and was most recently 3rd string goalie for Blackburn Eagles (That's 3rd string in NIHL 2!). He had no confidence either, but Storm skaters had also switched off. He let in 5 goals from 9 shots and it was 11-9.

Storm then replace Wilcock with Kalemba and get another soft goal to go up 12-9 before an ENG to seal it. Forshall managed 12 saves from 20 shots.

Less than 500 there to watch it as well...
