Fantastic performance. All the good things we’ve done at times over the weekend all came together tonight.

Hattrick for Eberle, he looks sharp and fresh and always finds a way to get involved whether that’s physically or on the board.

Olden is basically a cheat code at this level. Can see why he’s signed for big £££££ in Switzerland.

Connolly had a great third, his all round game was better in that stage and he got involved physically and rattled some opponents.

Mikyska is a bit of an unsung hero too, great stick skill and sets the tempo with his quick, accurate passing.

Also I’d better mention Churchfield who other than that poor 2nd goal was pretty solid considering he’s played 2 and a half games of pro hockey.

The other thing worth mentioning is the speed of some of our transitions...dazzling and difficult to live with. Owens was often the only line of defence.

I thought that was an outstanding performance.

I wouldn't be unhappy with any of these defenceman for next season, although I want to see Tron back with Hrabal.

Olden is such a smooth skater, I'd love to see us get him for next season, but hasn't he already signed elsewhere?

Hewitt turning back the clock. I think he could still do a job for us, but would he be interested?

Waller skates very well, but he'll need to start finding some end product if he's going to become a top Brit.

Glad I wasn't the only one getting frustrated with Connolly's blind passes, although to be fair the 3rd period was probably his best so far in this tournament.

Has anyone else got buffering problems?

Yes, in the second period only. Missed the third goal. Our broadband speed is also good but still been affected.

I've had terrible buffering issues all through Sunday and tonight. [Saturday was fine on YouTube!] I must have missed half the goals so far.

I'm using a Chromecast. I've never had any problems with other Infinity21 webcasts such as Storm's.

Also suffered buffering using safari with 60Mbps

I had issues with it on a Chromecast, but just on the IPad it was fine. Occasionally froze but was just a browser refresh needed.

Much more like it!

Dominated the game start to finish. Olden is far too good for this league - strips pucks for fun and then holds on to it for almost as long as he likes. Going to enjoy watching him for the next 9 games. Probably the best overall player I've seen dress for us for a very long time.

Kirk also showing why he got drafted and how much work he's put in. His skating has gone from one of his weaker attributes to one of his best.
