Clan cancel their first three home games and won’t now start at home until 20th November. Then they try and blame Cop 26 despite knowing about that for a very very long time. The Clan fans are not happy and quite rightly too ! And the future is secured for the Breahead shopping centre?

The Clan fans are not happy and quite rightly too ! Yep, utter garbage. As another fan nicely put it: "COP26? More like cop-out26!" It's the kind of rhetoric I'd expect to read from either a government or political party statement. My congratulations to the Clan management on hitting a new low, anything to avoid holding your own hands up eh? If that wasn't enough, Celtic and Rangers games (60k & 50k attendances respectively) are still going ahead during the COP26 period. After 11 years, they still don't understand their fanbase. If they just said they tried their best but they were sorry they can't make it on time, fans would be disappointed, but understanding and would have moved straight on. Instead, the club have given themselves two problems for the price of one, arena problems and a PR one, nice one guys!

Belfast lost 3-0 away to Manchester tonight. That’s a top result. Giants to be a bit flaky on the road again?

Can’t quite believe the Manchester score, I thought Belfast would batter them on the Storms current form.

Steelers 5 Flyers 2. Fife kept it tight until running in to penalty trouble in the 3rd.
Emmerdahl got a 5+game for checking from behind. Steelers scored 2 on the following PP and another PP goal after that to go 5-1 ahead.

Looking forward to seeing the video, but seems there was a fracas at the end of the Blaze vs Guildford game tonight. Flames Netminder apparently skates over to celebrate in front of the Blaze bench (gets 10 minutes for unsportsmanlike), gets cross checked by Clements (5+20 for cross checking and 5+20 for fighting) Broll also gets involved and picks up 67 minutes including 20 for abuse of official. Some people suggesting he takes a swing (intentional or otherwise) at a lino in the melee.

The debacle in the Skydump also means that Broll has already picked up over 100 PIMs this season. Wonder if our resident statto can tell us the most PIMs in an EIHL season? Surely 100 by the end of October is making a good start at taking that title!

DOPS going to be busy this week, by the sounds of it. I guess if you were looking at EIHL PIMs in a season record you’d be looking at Brad Voth? Leave it with me.

Post by bobness on Oct 25, 2021 6:09:54 GMT
Voth 347 in 09/10 and 4 seasons at 200+ Payette 321 in 07-08 Fitzgerald 304 in 14/15 Chris Frank mentioned in dispatches with 897 pims in only 162 games.
Worth noting when comparing between leagues that most leagues seem to count a game misconduct as 10 PIMs, where the EIHL count it as 20.

Anyone else notice that Storm scored 2 SHG on the same penalty the other night? They had two 5 on 5, two 4 on 5 and two 5 on 4 goals that game.

The first year And pretty sure both Boris Valabik and Benn Olson were over 300 more recently

I went to the game, Alty is on 20 minutes from me so I pop down if I've nothing else to do. Dundee had a serious case of bus legs in the first, although the first SHG scored had a big whiff of offside about it, Brady jumped into the play from the bench and picked up the puck at the Stars blueline before shooting home and I think the Dundee players were still smarting when they gave up the second shortly afterwards. Looking at the gamesheet I'd also say that the spirit of Tony Hand lives on in the north-west, couple of questionable assists but maybe I need to consult the video before making such wild accusations! Adam Brady looks like a good pick-up, very decent two-way centreman who will play a lot of minutes for the Storm this season. Matt Ginn was very strong between the pipes as well, he must've had a good night on Saturday as well to shut Belfast out.

Schulte only had one season in the actual EIHL, so doesn't feature in the top 10 ever list. TBF, he managed to rack up 52 points too. Good effort. Valabik 339 in his one season. Olson 327 in 12-13.

Very low quality video, but honestly? Not as much going on as I thought. The 5+game cross check by Clements is pretty tame. The only big supplemental is going to be for Broll as I believe he comes off the bench, tries to be a 3rd man in and then goes for a player on the ice who is being restrained by an official. The last of those is a big no-no and will incur some wrath, but I assumed it would be a bit more carnage given the PIMs totals.

Top 5 goals of the week feature two examples of some pretty ropy defending by Giants. The Stars goal all 5 Giants players are in shot, two Stars wide open in the slot, and on the Storm breakaway, Reinhart goes to the winger as well, leaving the man in front all alone to receive the pass and score. Don't you protect the pass in that situation?
