Five Things from the week ending 6 December 2015

It's time to sit back and think through the top five things I learnt this week:

1> Halfway point - Do you buy the match night programme, and did you notice we've flipped onto the second column of the fixtures? Ignoring the pre-season and CHL then we're 19 wins and 9 losses, which is cracking going. Unfortunately too many of the wins were in the Cup group stages and too few in the league to get too excited.

2> Panthers highlights show - Did you notice that each Panthers goal was shown from three angles, whilst the Steelers goals were shown from distance? Guess the disallowed goal was good too, as this wasn't shown from every angle to prove they were right! Petty, but at least the commentator was slightly less biased than GM the GM.

3> Coventry Blaze shot count stats - Rob Plaister made some good points in his recent blog - most teams outshoot the Blaze. Playoff final v Steelers 37:20. Playoff semi. v Belfast 41:29. Playoff qtr. v Nottingham 47:28. The system works when the goalie is hot so our defeat on Saturday despite out shooting them 48:18 isn't such a mugging after all, just good D.

4> Hicksey - I think he looked confused when he got some applause coming into the ice last night, but after that I hardly noticed him which was exactly what it should be.

5> Be prepared Jace - After that lousy Eddy I think he should forfeit the Man of the Match - I'd have chosen Mosienko anyway, he was awesome, chasing every puck, scoring a greasy one, and setting up Desi brilliantly for the third goal, and you can rely on him for a great Victory lap.

One final thought - only one team entered Sunday's games with a two game winning streak, and that was the Blaze who promptly lost to the Storm. Very few four point weekends happening right now, so we're on a streak of one, one behind the best in the league, and a chance to go joint top in that statistic on Wednesday!
