Unfortunately for me I couldn't make the game tonight due to ill health, (which was a real pain as the game saw the return of Schultz), unlike some on here who chose not to go in protest against the organisation, or couldn't be bothered, which is their right I might add. Could any body tell me if we were mixing lines up all night. Well done lads on a much needed victory, and also to whoever managed to get over 6,000 fans to turn up and watch a game against the Caps, at this expensive time of year.

Brilliant performance and quality performances from all players tonight but the player who really stood out to me and definitely had his best game was Cam Janssen, even though he didn't get a goal or an assist he was calm and composed on the puck especially on the boards and made some good plays, brilliant stuff, really coming on not what you would normally expect from him Excellent shift on the PK too.

That was more comfortable than was first thought due to Edinburgh playing like the Capitals of the past (not like earlier this season) therefore after the previous 2 games, that was a blessing.
Now since all the Christmas and New Year stuff is over with and everything has gone back to normal, I would definitely like to go on the OS on Monday and see that a new (Temp) Goalie is on his way and ready for Cardiff. As I have stated earlier I hope that the higher ups don't see today as Green played well and that we don't need a Goalie brining in. Oh yeah hopefully a temp Defenceman as well

You know I've been injured mate ......6-2 and in control now. I did not know and feel like a prize bell end...however we won so a ban isn't needed.

well they seemed to keep the forward lines together for the vast majority of the game, and I agree Janssen had a great game he caused quite a few turnovers and their D didn't cope too well with him

Played well tonight and to answer pantherman66 no we didn't have mixed up lines all game. Was pretty settled depending on pp and pk. Lines were: Ling Moran Kolnik Schultz Bombach Clarke Those lines were settled then I think the other two were mixed slightly throughout. Correct me if I am wrong
Green had a good game but still would not feel confident with him in Cardiff if I am honest. Hopefully have cover and both d men back. Lawrence I imagine will be back.
Please with how we played tonight just hope it's not to late to catch up.

Absolutely massive game (but GM won't say as he's not trying to sell tickets.

On the Lions grapevine the news came out tonight that Connor Glossop has signed a two way deal with Manchester Storm. He will still be available for the Lions and available to Manchester as required.

Did what we needed to do against a poor Caps side.
The return of Schultz made a real difference. Forgot how good he was. It was good to see Bohmbach on the scoresheet too. Their line with Clarke has some serious firepower. Having said that, the Ling/Moran/Kolnik line was a pleasure to watch. Janssen had his best game for a while too, as did Farmer.
Well done CN on finding two top lines that clicked and resisting the urge to mess them around. Be interesting to see where Lawrence fits back in when fit? Can see Mosey staying on D now, some lovely hits from him tonight BTW.
A long overdue comfortable nights viewing.

Good to see Janssen get some quality mins on the 3rd line. Can't see him staying there though, temp measure with Larry out. Bombach looked a different player with Schulz back, telepathic those two. As others have said the Ling, Moran, Kolnik line is pure spiders. Think Mosey has really stepped up lately as well, turning in to a hell of a player.
Caps were poor, we shouldn't get too carried away with this win imo.

Feet on the ground, that was an atrocious Caps side. Me and the missus said when walking out it felt more like a practice session than a competitive match. Atmosphere seemed to match that level too.
Onwards to Cardiff where the season could teeter on a knife edge!

It was more of a training session than anything, possibly why the atmosphere was the quietest this season, mostly down to our "loyal" supporters not being bothered to attend or not caring much tonight. Hopefully GM doesn't think an 8 - 2 against a poor team will paper over any cracks with needing a net minder for Cardiff. We have 7 days to find a replacement, it's not exactly hard to do.
Our season pretty much rests on the next four games, away at Devils and Steelers and home to Giants (and flyers), win four of these games and we've got a 4 point weekend against Storm afterwards whilst the Steelers have a weekend against the Devils and then have to travel to Dundee the next day, not to mention that the Steelers have THEIR Scottish away games coming up tomorrow and for the next week, which isn't an easy run of games to do, especially since they have to play the Devils twice in a row away, one team will drop points.

I had a last minute change of mind to go, shame I fell asleep on sofa until 7:40.
Well done boys, I'd rather miss a game and us win than go and lose!
