Another week of hockey action with more than enough content and happenings to take five things away from. Here's a quick burst of the top five things I learnt this week:
1> Edinburgh sit back and have the skills to hit you on the break - No shit I hear you cry, but it must be news to someone because why else would our defence keep giving up so many breakaways to them? Stop pinching forward and forcing the play and pick them off when the opportunities arise. Get them told Thommo.
2> We can score for fun when we want to - Three from Roy, Two from Dowdy, and singles from Nelson, Leggy, Laury and Mosi this weekend show we've got the firepower in the top six, if only our D can keep their end of the bargain.
3> And whilst I'm moaning - WTF happens when we're on the PP? I checked the stats and we're still bottom of the league on the PP with 10 goals from 81 attempts, and that's before you consider we've also given up 5 shorties. Remember what I said about D pinching and giving up breakaways. FFS it would be better to please to stay 5 on 5!
4> Murrayfield ice rink - From our first visit to the old barn on Sunday, I'd say you should wear lots of layers, the view is great because there's no plexi or nets down the side, and you're very close to the action. On the downside it's in a pretty depressing state of repair, but don't suppose the 600 home fans care about that after their win, nor will Finner who was in attendance and grinning a lot!
5> Fife Ice Arena - first visit there too as we took in Fife v Caps, and it wasn't as bad as Clantastic makes out! The natives were friendly and we had a great time in the auld barn as Fife demolished Chubak and the Caps D. (We didn't partake in the pre-game battered pizzas though). Cheers Section E and give me a shout if you make it down to Sheffield soon 😀
