Moran hasn't been the same since he was hit by marsh. He was a very consistent performer in the first half of the season. I'd not take Lawrence back from the current import crop and the rest I'm happy with. Haven't seen the two new guys play yet but seeing quick play against us I know his quality. If Schmidt retires then we could just resign our current defense plus 1 more then stick with our forwards minus Lawrence and being in the extra import we get as a forward. True about Moran and agreed with the rest which is a shame as Lawrence has worked his socks off this year but without a Ling type play maker to change the pace and you don't get those killer passes to win difficult games.

We've gone a bit off the game thread but who is back next season already? Multi year contracts or 2 year Uni deals?

I assume your making your Lawrence assumption over a series of games as you didn't see him tonight? To be fair the guy worked his nuts off tonight and scored a goal, if Corey would stop moving the lines around we might get a bit of consistency. There isn't one import I'd get rid of at the moment I just think we need to stick with some settled lines. If the club faff about with the coach situation like last year then half the imports will be gone.

I agree with the settled lines which we need to have!!

The save on Lacho was a mishit by Lacho and 95% sure it was on the ice. Was still a very good save considering his weight was going the other way. As Iginla said. A good connection and it was a goal all night long. Thought Lacho was probably the best brit tonight.
Lawerence was Man of the 1st. Goal & an assist. Some good defensive play and he bust a gut to chase down a puck on the PK and draw a penalty with seconds on the clock.
I'm gonna say something that may not go down too well here. I thought Mosey was poor for 2 periods. I commented a few times during the game that I thought it was probably his worst performance of the season. He was fantastic in the 3rd though. I thought he was just struggling to adjust to playing forward again.
Decent performance. Cam thoroughly deserved hos MoM.
Oh and we must hit the pipework an average of about 3 times a game this season It's getting silly now.

Good win, It is a bit concerning that apart from the Storm and Capitals, we are not thrashing teams and surely that will be important come play off time.
Another large attendance for a Sunday game, which should convince GM that it is worth playing the Quarter Final of the play offs on the Sunday and get the 2nd leg. I know that I've said that repeatedly, but now it seems that there is no difference to the size of the crowds regardless of what day we play

Thought it was a good game, good intensity and pace to the play throughout. Some moments where it got very sloppy from both sides but overall enjoyed it. We were well worth the points, hit the iron several times and Stewart was good.
Both of Mosey's goals were very nice, even if the 2nd was a rubbish giveaway from them to begin with.

I would certainly replace Corey, with the Brits and budget at his disposal we should be at the top of the league. His constant fiddling with the lines is killing chemistry and is costing us.

Some £15.000 made from shirt auction...blimey. Know I'd not be able to go to one of them again...lol Thanks to the club in help towards Cystic Fibrosis.
Still not a fan of these multiple shirts per season though. Think we had 3 playing shirts only plus this one for charity. More sense than the umpteen we had previous seasons.

£15k is a great effort by the club and all involved, they can be rightly very proud of that.

I'd take all of them back, I know Moran has his detractors but stick him on a line with a sniper and I'm sure he'd soon become our top playmaker. Has excellent vision, particularly when he's behind the net.

Did just about enough yesterday. Made hard work of it and should have been out of sight by halfway through, but a very poor second period allowed Blaze back into the game.
On the positive side - Janssen played well and justified being given more ice time by the coach, including in the closing minutes when you never used to see him out there. Not sure he quite deserved MOM after Mosey's two excellent goals to give us the win but a good all-round performance nonetheless. Lawrence also had what I thought was his best game for us this season, plenty of involvement in the play throughout. MacMillan worked really hard too, a player I rate highly. The two new defencemen looked solid enough and Steve Lee had his best game for a while.
Negatives - Bohmbach was off the pace and Schultz was fairly anonymous again (he's been poor ever since his injury I think). Wiikman looked very shaky at times - the first goal was a real howler and he didn't look confident on several other saves he made. Don't think alternating goalies ever works, they need a run of games to get their sharpness and focus. If Mika isn't fit enough to play every match, we need to play Madolora to give him the best possible chance to get into a groove for the run-in.
Always enjoy watching Stewart, hugely entertaining. Coventry's best player by an absolute mile again. He was so angry with the performance of his defencemen, I actually thought he might hit one of them at one point.

Mosey was my MOM last night, great first goal, great attitude, always gives 100%. Without any doubt would definitely keep Lawrence, Bohmbach, Janssen, Schultz, MacMillan, Waugh, Dimmen and Moran.
