Sounded like it was a fairly hard fought one - didn’t catch the game as was committed elsewhere.

Good to see Shudra back in the line up and a few having a chance to show what they can do - wondering how much ice time this line got.

We played a new player called Joe Lynch. Apparently has been on the Fife books and playing for Edinburgh this season. Looked a competent brit. As for the rest of tonights team , they looked far from competent.
In fact , I thought they were lucky not to lose this one.
Watching was like pulling teeth.

Looking at the game stats all the Brits got decent ice time last night.

Shudra 11:24
Lynch 11:00
Kelly 16:24

Probably wanting to give the imports a rest now the league season is effectively over.

Understood but surely we want to try to keep second to make our playoff chances a tad better.

Right now if the league finished we’d take on Coventry.

To be honest they’re the last team I’d want in the playoffs, as I think they’re the better on their day than any of the lower placed teams.

Yes, finishing 2nd might potentially help for the semi-final game, but we might not even get there if we play Coventry.

I don't see it making any difference whether we finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th, we could end up with any of 4 teams.

I don't really have a preference which one I'd prefer to play, because they're all capable of doing a job on us.
