Sheffield in OT

And flames

 

[GAVIN]

Just noticed something but might not be anything... coughler shaking hands with the players and nearly last to leave?

 

[Earnie]

Did Jardine come back on?

I really hope that doesn't mean he's feeling ill effects after the weekend and doesn't think he's going to play again. Given what the guy's been through in the past, that'd be awful.

He was smiling but just thought it was a bit odd... like I said maybe nothing..

I hope you're right. Maybe my natural pessimism coming through.

No, afraid not

 

[kettdevil1]

So all 3 guys who have could do better next there name all score.
Isn't sport brilliant

Indeed. Have to mention Josh Batch, until Bownsy scored I wondered if he would get MOM. Very solid tonight and jumped into the attack at exactly the right moments. Made one bad mistake but immediately chased and rectified it. A good game for him.

You beat me to it. I was about to write “cue the first person to say…. I bet you all feel embarrassed now”

Not really, 1 goal doesn't make up for a dire season.

There were periods during that game where we totally dominated possession, which was good to see, but we are still struggling, since Stefan's departure, with bodies in front of the nettie. Opposition net minders have too much sight of the puck. So always seem to play well against us. Next season we need another Fournier or two. Then all the hard work may pay off.

While I know it may not come naturally to some but I don’t get how after having success by putting Fournier in front of net we’ve not coached sticking someone else there. Missed opportunity.

Exactly the point

We have. Brittain is standing in front of the net but he doesn't seem to have perfected the art as much as Fournier.

And it’s the wrong goal, it’s ours.

 

[Slartibartfast]

A fairly easy win and we did dominate at times but in the first Dundee could have easily scored 2 due to our usual defensive frailties but the bounces didn't go their way.
Im slightly encouraged that the new second line of Crandall Waller and Coughler did seem to create some decent chances. We have been relying on the first line for too long.
Putting Penny, Brittain and Reid on the third line seems about right as they have just not produced much so far. Reid to be fair has scored 15 goals but he is on the powerplay. Penny has only scored 8 and Brittain 6. They actually looked OK together so lets hope they finally get some chemistry.

Batch played fourniers role quite a few times in the past and it worked then..

Hardly an art. Stand in front of the netminder us off the blue paint and make a menace of yourself - it’s not a long briefing form the coach.

 

[Wannabe2]

Ian Cooper was the man to stand in front of the netminder, he used to get chopped, punched, slashed but was always a pest to the opposing Nettie.
