Time for uncle Tony to put his hand in his pocket & find us a goal scorer. 5 0 discussing and still a period to go.
I thought the trade deadline had passed. No chance of signing anyone else if that's the case.

Could do with getting back to basic hockey because we are struggling against any team that plays simple, physical hockey against us.
No-one looks up for the battle. Whistle done well, Latal tried.
Hodgman and Armstrong drifting through the game without any concern.
Frustrates hell out of me that no fight and battle, just meekly accepting it and going through the motions.
Poor from the coach too.
Forget about rehearsing the Eddy's and concentrate on the hockey.

Well first time I’ve walked out before a game has finished. Don’t look anywhere near scoring

We had a wake up call on Sunday and it seems we’re still brewing the coffee. We seem to have learned nothing and don’t care.

Not seen the game. Wonder if they’ll be a podcast? Or do we only do those when we win?

I quite enjoyed Sunday’s game and thought this would be close, not blown away in our own barn.

I maintain that we’ve not really played well in 2022 and have just ground out wins against average teams.

A few of us as said playing well for 10 mins here and there is no where near enough for the likes of Cardiff & Belfast.

I’m dreading the Belfast games.

Looking forward to the game. If our fast skating, speedy skill game can be there for me than 5-10 minutes per game we should take it to the physical, but very slow and ponderous Devils D.
That very slow and ponderous D just outskated the hell out of us .

A deserved heavy loss for us. 2nd best in every department.

Can’t defend well enough consistently against the top sides, and haven’t got enough goal threat in our side.

I don’t believe we have enough quality to win the division.
