Gonna be some interesting stuff that comes out of this over the next few days/weeks. Caught a bit of the IHUK TV on Facebook Live and a reference to one of the players (Dowd?) saying he’s going to go and learn to skate faster. It’s been a real trial by fire, next year won’t be any easier, and practically the first comment from the players is about what they can do to improve.
There must be hundreds of people that have had a hand in this, one way and another, over ten, twenty, thirty years, and the biggest testament to all of them has to be that, 3 goals down, after the beatings they’ve taken during the last 6 games, nobody caved. As close as this was, one lucky/unlucky bounce could have made been the difference, but nobody quit. A lot of people have done a lot right for this to happen.
