Carry on the form that saw us pick up 4 points last weekend.

Basically treat every game as a Stanley Cup Game 7, losing is not an option.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the new lines bed in.

On paper this should make us even worse at face-offs, if that's possible, but last weekend we didn't do too badly. Has Eberle had a crash course on them?

Tbf it really doesn’t matter who is calling the game as long as we do our jobs and don’t take daft penalties.

Don’t give the officials an excuse to call you. Simple.

Unfortunately every little tip and tap on one of our mega stars seems to meet with over reactions from a lot of our fans even though there is nothing to call and all of a sudden the ‘refs are biased’ accusations start getting wheeled out.

A good start, get on the board early and we shouldn’t have any problems.

I completely agree with that, I am forever telling my kids, stop shouting or booing, there was nothing wrong with that call, I then spend the next 2/3 minutes explaining why, but they are getting there lol :yeah:

Kids learning is one thing,

20-25+ year ‘veterans’ not knowing what’s offside and what isn’t is another. :ohmy:
