To let them go on the lash on Sunday in my opinion is unforgivable So when is it ok to 'go on the lash'? End of the season. After a Sunday game when we don't have a mid week game.

They should never be let off the leash during the season. There is a massive difference between having 3 or 4 bottles of celebratory beer.......or getting smashed !
As for presenting the CC medals on Saturday.....a clear case of Moran taking the opportunity just because the Steelers are in the building,yet again wrong call !

To let them go on the lash on Sunday in my opinion is unforgivable. Do they all think winning the cc is enough? Oh well, back to plan b. Letting them go out on the lash is very bad PR, because it's only ever going to be used against them, but I'm not sure it's the reason for tonight. I'm pretty sure tonight is more an attitude of "we've won the cup, job done, feet up until the play offs" - and that's the management's fault. The decision to present the medals after the game on Saturday says it all - seriously, who would think it's a good idea to do that after potentially the biggest game in recent memory - and announce it beforehand? How are the players going to react to that psychologically? It sends out the message that the cup is their job done, and is more important than the result on Saturday - and, let's face it, that's very obviously what the club think. Terrible, terrible decision YET AGAIN. And whilst I'm off on one, how can they add a game onto the season ticket next year that may or may not happen?? Can you imagine Arsenal adding the FA Cup quarter finals to their season ticket at the end of the previous season?? The arrogance is just unbelievable! Agree with the medals part, it should have been done at the presentation (sic) after the game on Sunday. But do you really think we'll finish 9th or 10th next season? Not impossible I'll grant you but highly unlikely. Think you're finding a stick to beat the organisation with here.

Not impossible I'll grant you but highly unlikely. Think you're finding a stick to beat the organisation with here. That's not the point. Yes it's highly unlikely we'll finish 9th or 10th, but unless we automatically qualified for the play offs then you can't sell tickets for the game. If we didn't need to qualify, the league wouldn't announce when teams have reached the required points to reach the play offs. Pretty sure Chelsea fans didn't imagine they'd be in a relegation battle for a few months this season - that's the thing with sport...

Nice play from Oakford for Mosey's goal.
Overall, looked very tired, I know we played 75 minutes on Sunday and presumably drank enough to float a ship, but gotta be ready to go with 3 days in between games.
I believe we're now back to .500 within the conference, simply not good enough with our personnel. We're tied with Blaze at the bottom.

Arsenal season tickets count for ALL cup games I believe, so quite easily.

I think the last thing we want to be associated with is the Goons And it's the first 7 cup games they play, I think. If Gary had included the group stages of the CC it'd make more sense, because they're bound to happen, although then he'd struggle with the double ups. Although I agree that we'll never finish bottom 2, so the PO 1/4 is always going to happen too. Just seems a bit odd, and all this popular demand stuff doesn't ring at all true.

It's bizarre, during the first I thought we were playing well. Didn't create any clear cut chances, but getting bodies in front of the net and getting deflections, pucks were dropping in good places in front of net and felt it was only a matter of time. Then the first goal for the Blaze. My gut instinct was Miika needs to come and smash that when it came down the ice towards him, but alas he stayed back, they won the foot race and with no defenders to trouble him stitches Wiikman up.
Then the calamity second. They came out all guns blazing. The resulting pressure, silly penalties and some poor goaltending (third especially) took the game away there and then. From there out, everytime we looked like we could string 2 passes together and maybe get back in, we'd take a silly penalty and lose all the momentum. For Miika's final goal, I think there's nothing he can do. Straight on to the tape that close with no pressure, I could have scored that.
The third? Well I was too busy shaking my head to give a full description. 5th goal, see thoughts on 4th. 6th goal, more calamity defending and Green looked all over the shop. Fight - Cam wins, but 30 mins to late. Goal - time for sarcastic applause.
Off to the shop to buy some razor blade.

Poor decision to let them out on the lash until 4/5am Monday morning. You think it's a long time but it soon knocks your body clock out for a while. Never mind the alcohol taking an edge of your sharpness.
For example. A friend of mine, not a usual cling on by any stretch happened to be out with the players Sunday night celebrating. He got home at 5am. Because of this he didn't get up until 3pm. Monday night he then struggled to sleep and had to get up for work on Tuesday very tired and on little sleep. Tuesday evening he flopsand ends up awake at 5am Wednesday morning having slept for 10 hours. Doesn't take too much to see excessive celebrations could have easily effected tonights performance. It may not have been the main reason we lost but that slight edge will have had an influence. Tbh it looked like half of them were still swizzled. I don't think it is a coincidence that the 2 main names I heard who enjoyed themselves a lot on Sunday night arguably had their worst performances tonight. Many of you will have heard about marginal gains etc. A theory applied by 2 incredibly successfull coaches/managers. Both Clive Woodwad and Dave Brailsford have used it to great success. Allowing players to get smashed at such a critical part of the season is ridiculous. It will have played a part. Most "So called proffesional" sportsmen would not have been so irresponssible.
Oh and to finish it off. If you do decide to get smashed go and have a private party. Don't do it with/in front of your fans and leave yourself open to this critisism.
Inecusable. Heads would role in most pro sports.

Difference between the games being that the CC group games are sold weeks in advance and we play those games against the 2 teams we'll get the biggest crowd against so easy to maximise profit. Play-off QFs you get limited warning and presuming it's not a terrible season, you'll play a bottom half club.

Oh and to finish it off. If you do decide to get smashed go and have a private party. Don't do it with/in front of your fans and leave yourself open to this critisism. Inecusable. Heads would role in most pro sports. Reminds me of a BBC article about Mika Hakinen's former doctor and mentor (since worked with Vettel and Hamilton). Interesting snippet: The main message seems to be a simple one - get a good night's sleep.
Dr Hintsa scoffed at the notion that you can function at full tilt on just five hours' sleep a night. And competitive bragging about how little you need just isn't helpful, he implies.
"Operating three nights in a row on just five hours' sleep is equivalent to driving a car drunk," he adds. (You'll be pleased to hear that Sebastian Vettel aims for ten hours if he's racing.)
Mika agrees; you need to rest more than you train, he says, because you just can't improve while you're tired.
The other message is not drinking alcohol before bed, or using your smartphone or computer.www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35363109
