A CC weekend woop woop...

Yet another meeting with the Pnather Bears! Yawn, yes it's the not much of a challenge cup again...

Shame we can’t get Oskar in for this one. Hopefully Mitchell will play some valuable minutes though.

Get some extra minutes for Whistle, Graham & Shudra if they’re all available.

3-1 Steelers.

Could do with giving Graham, Shudra (if available, wonder if we will see any sign of him in Steelers colours this year) and our back up netminders big ice time in these two waste of times games. Just roll the players for equal ice time.

Just when we need a couple of important league games to focus on to erase the Dundee debacle and we're faced with the glorified exhibition CC games instead.

Maybe 2 games with little or no pressure is what's needed to get us back on track and use the ice time to see where Mason fits best?

It's the when the pressure is on games that we need to do better on not with these income generating friendlies. To me a lot was a mindset and attitude problem for the important game so how can you replicate/help with that in these games. Mitchell will struggle to get anywhere above fourth line minutes at mo whilst gets fitness up.

Perhaps. But seldom do things pan out like that.
