Just home also. 2 really fun games this weekend. In Ginn I think Storm have a gem as had it not been for him, the scorelines would've been much more in our favor, but Garnett also had an excellent weekend.
I understand the new ruling regarding the DOG for goalies but I thought that was a harsh call for our first goal, it's not like there was no-one around him as there was a Panther bearing down on him.

Reffing is awful. 2+10 for that last hit takes the biscuit. I can see 2 for boarding maybe, but 2+10 is ridiculous. There are a few rule changes in place this season. Boarding is now 2+10

I think this new rule is a nightmare waiting to happen - the netminder now has to judge what the referee (2 different refs) deems worthy of holding onto the puck. This is a judgement call by an individual which means netminders are at times going to be hung out to dry. I predict a few misconducts being thrown into the pot in some games when this pen is called lol

These are the new rules. A lot depends on the definition of "pressured"...
RULE 220 – HOLDING THE PUCK IN GOAL CREASE/GOALTENDER DEFINITION: A goaltender is allowed to freeze the puck in his goal crease so long as he is being pressured by an opponent. If he is not being pressured and has time to make a play safely to a teammate, he is obliged to do so.i. Unless he is being pressured by an opponent, a goaltender who holds the puck more for than three seconds will be assessed a minor penalty.ii. A goaltender who is not under pressure and deliberately drops the puck into his pads, body, or equipment in order to gain a stoppage in play will be assessed a minor penalty. RULE 221 – HOLDING THE PUCK OUTSIDE GOAL CREASE/GOALTENDER DEFINITION: A goaltender is not allowed to fall on the puck to cause a stoppage in play in certain situations if his body is outside the goal crease.i. A goaltender whose body is entirely outside the goal crease, and when the puck is behind the goal line (not between the posts) or beyond the hash marks, falls on or gathers the puck into his body, or holds or places the puck against any part of the goal net or the boards, will be assessed a minor penalty whether or not he is being pressured by an opponent.ii. A goaltender who falls on or gathers the puck into his body in the area between the goal line and the hash marks of the end zone faceoff circles will be assessed a minor penalty unless he is being pressured by an opponent and is unable to play the puck safely with his stick.
Great result, BTW. Look fwd to seeing the highlights.

After watching the highlights our goals looked very well worked. Hurtubise has one hell of a point shot, that puck was beyond in the net quicker then your eyes can see it, secondly Kovacs’ finish on his first was very well taken considering the puck didn’t settle until he was almost on the keeper and his second was just nice positional play picking up lose ends. Garnett looks to have brought his CHL form to the forefront. So far so good.

A couple of thoughts after watching those goals...
- Hurtibise is turning out to be a superlative long-range sniper. I confess that I don't recall much about him from his time in Edinburgh, but I'm liking what I'm seeing at the moment.
- and yet another interception/jumping on a fumble, away to the races, breakaway goal. That's what - 3 like that so far in 9 games? Impressive...
The Storm may be a bunch of idiots at times (no surprise with that coach) but they have plenty of size, strength and skill... they may be a bit short-handed, but they are no less dangerous. What I'm liking is how we are getting the goals, despite the best efforts of some not-exactly-shabby opposition. Hard work, fast skating, skilled hands and good decision-making... I'm liking this, I'm liking it a lot.

I still find the special teams the most pleasing aspect of this season. The power play is doing its thing but the PK has been incredible. 100% after 3 games and Pither got a breakaway on a 5 on 3 kill. We know this won’t last forever but if we can keep up this work, we won’t concede many.
Hurtubise seems to have grown in stature since he got that first goal in preseason and now looks like a man full of confidence. His shot is incredible.
Kovacs has impressed me the most so far. This weekends performance shows not only does he have a natural eye for goal but he’ll work hard to create chances.
Cardiff is a massive test but we couldn’t be going in better prepared

Currently Panthers are playing the game as it should be played. Pretty fast and Physical just like Rich said he wanted back in the summer. It's a entertaining recipe especially a good way to entice fans back

In fairness, we were all excited at this point last year. Top of the league, winning our CHL group after producing the 'most complete EIHL team effort ever' (Not sure what fool would suggest anything else) against Bern, Shalla playing terrific, Garnett playing out of his skin. Think the experience of what followed around November/December time will make sure we all keep our feet firmly on the ground. All the signs so far are positive though.

I felt from watching us on Sunday that we have started to do lots of little things well that we didn't use to do. We ran two or three really good faceoff set-plays that almost brought goals, we skate hard back to the bench to change, especially on the penalty kill. Also what was really noticeable from watching the highlights was the way the forwards kept their feet moving for the third goal, eventually it reaches Kovacs after a couple of attempts on net and he finds the twine.

Without banging the same drum this is down to coaching! You now see why I wanted change years ago and certain people defended it to the hilt!

People are now seeing what we weren’t getting for all those years. One of my pet hates was the way players were allowed to saunter slowly back to the bench at the end of a shift. Glad to hear that seems to have been addressed.
