No positives to take from that game at all.
Who's idea is it the drop pass when on the power play, it's a shocking move and nearly caught us out a few times tonight.

Slightly better 3rd period, but very poor overall.

Only good news is Cardiff also lost.

Belfast are quietly sneaking up.

Need to make sure we win in Manchester on New Year’s Day now.

If Trembley was a healthy scratch then to me that was a MASSIVE mistake. Gentile would sit for me.

That 2nd period was dreadful, we all welcomed Watling back but my word that D at times is terrible.

This consistent Tansey on the forward line is baffling, he's a D man, please please get him back on the blueline, he's okay as an emergency forward when we're low buy right now, we're not.

Personally Tremblay would've been in the line up tonight, unless he's injured, that's a mistake by Fox.

It's all about opnions but I do not rate Dougherty.

[smbmetal]

Gentile, Harper & Dougherty would all be looking for new clubs if I were the coach.

IF Tremblay is injured then I understand his scratch, if not, then I don’t see how he doesn’t get in front of SEVERAL players in the lineup.

Not sure how many changes you can make in a season……is it 5? If so, and the ECHL are on strike/locked out, hopefully there’s a couple of decent players available?

Maybe one or two who are good at winning face-offs eh @Doom

I suspect Tremblay was missing due to reasons other than form.

I liked what I saw from Watling, considering how long he's been out.

We really do need a top faceoff winning centre though, because we're losing far too many. It seems to be a blind spot with Fox.

Powerplay is great.

Penalty kill is fantastic.

Faceoffs are awful.

We won't challenge for trophies unless the last one improves.

When Tremblay comes back, Gentile sits for me.

Doom
