Did we win Belfast last night! I hope so... We win this and a 4 point weekend suddenly makes the table look a whole lot different...

I've gone for a regulation win.
Lets hope we will have enough energy left from the Belfast game as ideally we need to win both games.

At least we're at home on Saturday and have no midweek game - Flames have Blaze tonight and then Dundee away on Saturday before facing us at home on Sunday.

Hoping that this caps off a HUGE 4 point weekend opportunity for us, we are certainly back in the picture if we can grab 2 wins.
Flames difficult to beat at home but something we've achieved already this season, I'll go for 5-3 Steelers win! (and a 4 point weekend

why not aye!)

We can’t score against good teams. We don’t know how to grind out a win.
I think we’ll lose this one and having lost tonight it doesn’t matter anyway. We’ve already qualified for the playoffs so they’re all dead rubbers now.
I’ve no optimism for the playoffs either.

Guildford have to travel back from Dundee (almost 500 miles). I think this should give us an advantage here. Plus we only played well for 1 period so should have plenty left in the energy tank.
Busy night for Greenfield last night against Belfast, I’d argue the league has already gone, despite still not officially over, so I’d give Lavigne a go and try and keep Greenfield fresh for the playoff run.

Can’t see anything other than a routine Guildford win. Far better players than us excluding Greenfield who would make any of the EIHL sides.
Much more organised and structured side and their speed will be far too much for our slow players. There’s only Látal & Neumann that can skate at that level.
We don’t carry a goal threat and we are very vulnerable defensively, we are easily overwhelmed by a side who pressure the puck carrier and don’t allow us time.

Guildford bound and I'm starting to think a day clearing the rest of the snow off my garden would have been a far better option.

What a terribly grim looking place.

And cold!
It's flippin' brass monkey stuff!
Warmup's done.
No Whistle and I've not seen D Phillips but stand to be corrected on that one.
