Finding a way to win, while not playing your best hockey is a great habit to get into... but we do need to be putting the likes of Guildford under the sword.. if we want to win silverware this season..

I don’t think any of the new guys on the roster are particularly poor, but I think they're all a 5 or 6 out of 10, when I think we needed at least a couple of 7 or 8 out of 10.

I can't see beyond the Panthers for the league title, with the signing of Pearson they added an 8 or 9 out of 10 player to an already strong roster.

Hopefully our team will make me eat my words, but I can see us losing by 2 or 3 down there on Saturday.

Great to get the win tonight though. Top seed in the Challenge Cup and now top of the league is far from a disaster, but my eyes tell me it won't last without great improvement.

Regards

2 points in the bag at least - and sounded like maybe it got more exciting at the end?

Thank you for the live updates on here - really appreciated that you guys do this for us all.

Cheers

Up to the daft penalty by Harper, the 3rd was the best we've looked in ages - everyone not only playing within the systems, but making much better decisions. Dominated OT as well.

A lot of where the team are in playing terms is down to decision making - players have been consistently making poor decisions on both sides of the puck. Need to solve why that's happening. Preferably before the weekend
