This is the big one, must win in Regulation

[Bagheera]

This is a huge game. Based on how we usually do against Belfast I think i'd happily take the 2 points in this one and 0 on Sunday if it were on offer now.

I wouldn’t. The group looks like it’s peaking in confidence right now and I think we’re capable of winning both

I get what you are saying and this team is really playing some good hockey at the minute. Problem is, I see the Giants fixture the reverse of Cardiff. Belfast come here and find a result. That first game back for us was a prime example. OK we were very rusty and stepping back in, but we were the better team and they just somehow ended up with the points.

As far as the actual points go i'm viewing it with a bit of caution. It could be a huge swing weekend. Lose on Saturday and there is a real chance we find ourselves 8 points back with 15 games to play. Win on Saturday and no matter what we wont be any worse off than we are now, still having to play Glasgow twice more.
If we do win both we'll be level on points with Glasgow though, so very much reason to be positive.
The team should be looking to go out there and get 4 points, Saturday though is 100x more important.

Tetlow returns tonight.

Interesting selection dilemma tonight if we've got 7 fit D.

If my maths is right (slim chance of that to be honest) We’ll probably roll 7 D and then rotate someone in on the 4th line with Pare/Kelsall like we did Wednesday

Sounds sensible, I imagine they'll limit Tetlow's minutes for a little while to ease him back in.

My thoughts exactly, this game is too important to risk him getting reinjured, leaving the D short.

Stojanovjc starts in goal, Tetlow returns & they’re running seven on the blue line.

Considered subscribing to watch tonight, but you can only watch on a mobile device, not a TV.

This sport seriously needs to sort itself out. If people are willing to pay, give them a proper streaming service. I’m not paying money to watch on my phone with the puck the size of a dot. I want to watch properly on a big telly.

Have to stick to Twitter updates instead.

Hoping we can get the win tonight. It’s massive if we are to stand a chance of climbing into those play off places.

1 - 0 after 22 seconds. Roy from Nieminen & McGurty.

Just a rubbish stats announcement that. Lunsjo put a shot in and Neilson got a tip. 100% assist for Lunsjo.

I’m on the TV watching.
£12.50 but first period done. A few mistakes easily sorted but we are doing ok. Take chances and we will win. Need to open up a gap.

[shinobi]

Can you not cast it to your tv from your mobile or iPad?

2-2, poor from Despres, not looking after the puck

I know. Is it when you buy late when not expecting more viewers I wonder and entice you in.

[Bagheera]

Scottish Ref Syndrome kicking in.

5-2 down
