Will be interesting to see how the Storm goalie fares... he didn't have too good a game tonight against Edinburgh:- <Twitter link>  |

I think that we may have over-estimated Manchester at the start of the season, hopefully this is the game where we dominate.

The must win game of the weekend for sure. Getting two points in the league and CC will get us on our way to qualifying and a really strong start to the league. Hopefully we can dominate a bit more in this game.

He turned away 38 shots, was faultless for the Caps opener (the second was a bit of a scramble, I'd like to see the replay before passing judgement) and had already made three top stops before he slipped facing the fifth penalty shot. |

8 points *should* see us qualify for the 1/4ers of the Cup. This is the must-win game of the weekend. Get this done and we can rest people if needed on Sunday.

If it helps Pavel Barber shared it and eveyone around the world laughed too (i don't think it helps) Jokes aside it happens, don't think it'll knock him down in the future. |

How far is the walk to the railway station? Could I feasibly watch the game in full and make the 2139 to Birmingham? Might be a little tight for time.

It would be tight, but depends how early the game finishes. You can do the walk in 10mins if you walk quickly. I wouldn't be leaving any later than 21.20 if it were me to be sure. Think it was the Cardiff game which was the earliest finish I think i'd ever seen on a Saturday. Done at 21.05. But usually 20 past as a minimum. As said it would be tight, but a chance you could see all of the game. Also a fair chance you'd miss the last few minutes too. Almost definaitly miss OT if it were to happen. Depends if you are prepared to miss a few mins if needs be. |

I'd just like to add confirmation as I've done the same thing a few times and had to miss a few minutes in the last period to ensure I made it. |

Found a friend who can take me to Rugby (which has a much later train to Birmingham) on his way back down the M1 if I miss the train. So should be there.

Sounding like no Lee, Logan and obviously Oakford for this one.

Still no idea on what's wrong with Steve.
They seemed quite positive on Logan earlier in the week?

Stevie Lee took a bash to the head against the Clan, was iced first period I think in Fife (cant remember) but then rested as precautionary as he had been 'off' all day. Can only assume they are resting him still after such a long lay off last season. If they said he has concussion wouldn't that be him finished? I thought you could only have 2 or 3 and then had to stop playing? Not a good position to be in as a young hockey player. Plus if you start saying that then other teams target you just like they did with Schultzy at the Clan game. |

He has played since though EMB. Got a couple of assists when we lost in Sheffield on the 18th, and I think that's the last we've seen of him.
Agree that if it's concussion then he's in a bit of trouble, but this is part of the problem with leaving a vacuum of no information at all, just leads to speculation. They could give us some vague idea without getting into specifics. I think the whole can't do that they'll target him is a bit overblown, you'd have to be a pretty epic scum bag to be a pro hockey player and be trying to give other players concussions.

MacMillan should be okay to play on Saturday, 50/50 but we know what players are like.
Concussions can take a couple days to kick in sometimes and i'd guess the adrenaline will have kept it at bay until after the Steelers away game. If it is Concussion then that will be his 2nd at least, maybe 3rd. With no time frame on his recovery or update on his concussion i'd expect to see him back mid-October.

Not good news then losing both British Dmen. Best get Marcus here quick ! |

The spotlight is on concussions in sports. Wouldn't surprise me if Lee was out for some time with this.
