5-4

I'm not watching the game, but is it poor defending or Greenfield having a bad night?

It’s poor defending, mostly getting dispossessed and killed by breakaways. Not sure our forwards are doing their defensive jobs. Then Greenfield not under pressure puts puck directly out for another penalty.

Fair play to Guildford, they've beaten 3 of the big 4 in the past week and deservedly so.

I like Dixon, so I certainly wouldn't begrudge him any success. I suspect he'll sleep a lot better than Fox tonight.

A succession of unnecessary penalties kill any chance of recovering two goals. Then an ENG kills us off totally. A really lacklustre performance against a moderate side. First period was even, second and third clearly to Flames. We never had superiority though we were ahead three times, letting in a level up goal almost immediately each time. We just didn’t look up for it all evening somehow. Fox never seems to talk to his players. No timeout called. 7-4 is perhaps a slightly unfair representation but we didn’t deserve anything. Not really competitive.

Does going empty net EVER work? I've not been around very long yet but I have yet to see it result in anything other than an ENG.

To ship in 7 goals is definitely not good,,,, hopefully it was just a one off bad night as opposed to general standard of team not being good enough,,,,,,
