How are we doing?
Did the former Panthers get any welcome?

Sounds like I've missed a good one tonight. Hope we get the 2nd point and hope I get the ban overturned so I can get back to supporting the boys at the NIC soon.

What a game. Don't know if everyone enjoyed it as much as I did but it had everything. Fantastic goals, hits, fights, comeback win and two goals for a player on his birthday haha.
MK are good team imo, Kearny wow is he a little rat. But it added spice to the game so glad he was. Great win and on to tomorrow now.

Loved that game. Mokshantsev's goal was brilliant.
Was nice to properly say goodbye to Wiikman too.

Is it me or did Sauve go missing for the cover on 2 goals conceded? Ollie again little ice time, mainly when Lindhagen was covering for Ganon on D. Very little seen of him in Cardiff - pity.

Lacho looks out of place on the phillips + mokshantsev line. What a goal from #71, I hope he stays after the chl finishes. MK are a smart team, well drilled. Good first line. Verrault-Paul and Kearney both annoying. Am I dreaming or did Phillips score, twice !!

Mokshantsev has rattled the pipes. Different lines tonight too Didn’t understand the Wiikman thing at the start of the game - he’s well known to thrive off a crowd and he’s competing against us, then we give him the whole stadium cheering his name! Plenty of ex-players come back to play against us and a cheer & wave at the end is more than sufficient (players who played and achieved a lot more than Miika). Otherwise it was a great game. Very pleased to see Kearney get his comeuppance in the end - pure agitation all game.

I really really enjoyed that. I'm glad Kearney got called at that time and cost them a game. It was nice to see at 3-1 down we didn't panic and just kept playing our game and it came good.
Mok doesn't score bad goals does he?! What a find. His defensive game has improved massively - the stick lift he did to win the puck was massive progress for him. He wasn't so good in his own zone at the start of the season but now he's much better.

One of the most entertaining games so far this season, MK are a good team and didn't turn up to sit back. Brilliant goals from us, pleased for Phillips to get a brace, I thought he would have got MOTM but never mind.
It was fitting in overtime that Kearney got crushed on the boards, took a stupid penalty after then we scored on the resulting powerplay, it was the perfect end to the game because he is a classless player.
Pleased Miika got the reception he deserved as well!

Excellent that. Just about the perfect script for a game and great to see a team come to the NIC and want to play an attacking game. All credit to MK,good team,great fans too.
Nice night for Miika. Not sure what Boxill and Doucet would make of it though. 🙃

One of the best games I've seen at the NIC this season, other than CHL games.
All credit to the MK fans, they turned up in numbers and chanted so hard that you'd have thought they were our 'biggest rivals'.
Who was the diving turd on the MK roster who caused Brown to go to the box though? It was a theatrical performance that deserved a BAFTA rather than a point for going to extra time.

Having thought about it over night, Kearney did the rink rat job perfectly (Bruce, Lloyd and Finner would have been proud) but I think we handled him perfectly. All our players let him know we weren't going to stand for it, got a few sticks in on him and then landed a questionable ( and I think we were lucky) hit on him in OT where he takes a penalty in reaction and we win the game. I think he actually galvanised us somewhat.
On another point, I know some fans near me were convinced Doucets goal was offside but our tying goal was offside from where I was sitting. But it's all in the books now.

But it's all in the books now. Both looked massively off side. Theirs was skating into the zone though so often they look worse than they are(wait and see the highlights on that one). Ours on the other hand was the puck coming out of the zone and for me it most definatly did. Didn't look close.

Wasn't able to go last night due to other commitments but sounds like I missed a cracking game.
Following on Twitter I felt relieved to get the win, sounds like MK are a solid team who come to play.
What a fantastic addition to the EIHL MK and Guildford have been. I would much rather see us have to work our behinds off to get the two points than a 7-0 victory.
I wouldn't say no to few comfortable victories though.
Big game in Coventry tonight, we are well placed at the moment, let's keep it that way. Important that the CHL games don't interfere with our league results.

Ours on the other hand was the book coming out of the zone and for me it most definatly did. Didn't look close. Theirs is definitely onside (which i defintely didn't think at the time). Ours was definitely closer than I thought, but unfortunately the camera angle means that you can't see the puck as it crossed the line through Phillips stick. I'll see if I can upload pictures in a minute.

Not sure what Boxill and Doucet would make of it though. 🙃 Doucet played half a season then went to cardiff for a bit more. Boxy played for 2 seasons as a 3rd/4th liner. Nowhere near compares to the impact miika, and his personality, had on the team's success.

I'll see if I can upload pictures in a minute. Absolutely. Theirs definitely onside, by a skate length. Great call by the lino. Ours, I'm not so sure on, as you can't see the puck behind Phillips' stick, and the angle could be deceptive, but their bench didn't seem to mind too much. It does look like hardly any of Phillips stick is over the redline side of the blueline though. Anyhoo, look in the book...

quite easily the most entertaining domestic game this season so far. it had a bit of everything. lots of scrums after the whistle, some good hits, a nice little edge to the game throughout.
MK are a great little team, with good pace, grit and skill. as a first year team after stepping up they are a great addition to the league.
closing out that sort of game could be crucial come the business end of the season. too many times we have seen us lose those games and struggle to recover 2 goal deficits. despite that we have really got to cut out the individual mistakes and stop conceding 3 goals a game to reduce the risk of us struggling in games as other teams may restrict us scoring as many.

We've greeted other ex players on the blue line before, nice thing to do imo, and after watching Miika stretchered off the ice unconscious in his last match for us last season it was a nice moment to see him being chanted off the ice at the end of the match.

Be interesting to ask the opinions of the MK and Guildford fans what they think of life in the EIHL compared to the old EPL.
(There's a topic for TCW Jono). You must know some of their people.
