Disappointed with a loss but we are still taking points, we haven't lost in regulation so far in the league campaign. These OT/SO points help down the stretch provided we can keep form and take points away. Not a great result, not a terrible one either.

Says Sam Oakford was playing according to the Elite 'Pointsbreak Sports Technologies Inc.' Game sheet.
I trust he did NOT return?
Sheffield 1-5 thus far..ouch.

Well that was a certified snooze fest. Both teams were absolutely goppingly dreadful. Thought we did enough to warrant winning the game as most of the 'quality' chances came from us and we dominated OT, typically though they score with what I believe was their first shot in OT.
No player can claim to have played well tonight but my God was Betteridge dreadful. I honestly dont think I saw him complete a pass or even retain possession once.
Take the point and move on.

Bore-fest. Neither team played well tonight but the score/result was probably a fair reflection.
Still disappointed in Matt Coaster.. sorry, Carter. Thought a bit of luck in front of goal would spark his confidence, instead he just returned straight back into his usual insipid plays. He's exactly the player brought in to break open games like today and for a reputable goal scorer to go 3-on-2, in possession with clean ice to the keeper, only to look for the pass (and fluff that up) is inexcusable. I can see no intent or desire to improve.
Plenty of guys had good, solid games - Dimmen, Farmer, Lachowicz, Lindhagen, Wiikman, MacMillan and Kalus. We missed Lawrence & Schultz too much though.

To be fair he did make one pass to a Panther. Out of the corner to Carter who was open in front. He fired a bullet at his wrong side and screwed the glorious chance. He was aweful. Looked like a Lacho performance from last season.

I was wondering if it was just me that thought that was the worst game of hockey I have seen but it seems others felt the same. We have problems if our best offensive players were all defencemen. They did their job in their end and shouldn't be expected to do the forwards job too.
And how did Carter get the MOM. Apart from getting his stick on a shot that was going miles wide that ultimately ended in the net I didn't see him do anything of note. Having said that most of the other forwards didn't do much else to warrant their pay cheque this weekend.
Lindhagen looked class yet again and I wonder what he has to do to get MOM. Ten shots on goal in the first two periods, at home against a short benched team who played last night should tell you where our problems are. And yes we did get one point so that is at least one plus point out of tonight's dreadful display.

Very scrappy game. I hope the ice was in poor condition otherwise some of the miss plays were woeful. I thought we made some nice plays at times, but Giants were either protecting Murphy well or a Panther miss hit the shot. Thought Spang was great for most parts and my MoM(didn't stay for presentations).
Personally thought Mika would want both goals back.
It appeared we returned to pick and mix lines for large periods tonight which showed in some of the poor play.
Finally. Barely won a faceoff all night. And then to start the play that we conceeded on in OT we had Farmer taking the faceoff. He lost it and they skated straight down the other end and scored.

The winning goal summed that game up perfectly,scrappy and a mess.
Both teams looked awful and couldn't string passes together,fanned shots,misplaced passes and iced the puck god knows how many times!
We picked it up a bit in the 3rd and if it wasn't for said fanned shots may have won it.
Still a point is a point

Why was Betteridge out on the powerplay, and not McGrattan? Very poor.
That last powerplay we had, the only Panther Murphy could see in front of him was Wiikman

Ive seen less icing in a cake shop, would be interested to know how many instances of icing there were.
Strange game, happy to get a point.

Dire, absolutely dire! Two desperately poor teams on show tonight, they should have their wages withdrawn!

Spot on. He had both of our players to his left and lost it to his right. Clarke managed to get back but just let the Giants guy coast round him and get his shot away. A play from start to finish that summed us up tonight. We stank. Giants weren't much better. It was just an awful, awful game. A 0-0 draw would've done it justice.

Had a late night last night but thought the hockey would perk me up....genuinely drifted off for a couple of minutes in the second period.
Such a lacklustre game of hockey. I've not seen an EIHL game in the last few years have such a lack of quality on both sides of the ice.
Positive that we did still pick up a point. We'll play better this season and lose games so can consider ourselves fortunate that Belfast were equally inept as us.
Can't get too negative about this team as a whole though, over the last month they have got us off to a very solid start. Certainly hope that is the last snorefest we have to witness this season, though.
Biggest thing to put a smile on my face this evening is the result at the tin shed.

Seriously lacking firepower. Poor game from start to finish. If Shultz and Lawrence are going to be out for any length of time we need more cover. Carter, Brown and McMillan need to up the point production. Don't see a massive amount of goals coming from our British contingent and are we trying to replace Oakford because the silence is deafening?

Can't add much to what's been said, both teams were rubbish, one of the worst games in recent memory. The lack of quality in the basics was pretty embarrassing at times.

For me we have a few passengers, Carter and Brown the main ones. Bugs me when some people class this as a beer league, this league has quality players playing.
Carter and Brown for me are coasters and theres no room for them

Carter and Brown for me are coasters and theres no room for them Can't agree with Brown. Works hard, shows some good hands at times too. And to be fair to him was playing with Lacho and Betteridge in the first 3 or 4 games. No way a coaster. However not sure we can afford MacMillan and Brown on the same team along with McGratton too.

Rubbish game. I don't think anyone from either team played well. It was like watching Sunday league.
To call for player gassings is a little bit premature. We're in a really strong position and we've had one bad game. Got to suck it up and move on.
At least we got a point.
