Big test. They might be in trouble in the cup, but 4 in 4 in the league so far, including an opening day win against the Squeelers in the House of Tin.
Far too early for must wins, but 6 point gap opening up with a regulation loss won't feel good.
Luckily our Saturday opponents are not so tough. Definitely got the games in the right order scheduling wise.

Hopefully we have a full lineup for this game. Hammond and Sorenson are different players but they are both big parts of this team

Are more teams experimenting with Friday night games?
The couple of times I've been down there, it's been on a Saturday and there was a fair bit of Panther Supporters there.
Not sure how many will travel down Friday.

Not sure how many will travel down Friday. I think Cardiff away on a Saturday would be better for us, it’s at least a 3 hour drive and on a Friday after work it doesn’t leave much time to get there for face-off |

Like Pidge I'd much prefer a Friday night to a Sunday afternoon. They're obviously worse for away fans, but really scheduling should be done for the benefit of the home crowd.
We seem to have a few Friday away nights this year, so perhaps it's preferred elsewhere too?

Yes, Friday's are better (for me) than Sunday. However I thought that teams would have been more strategic regarding who they would play on Fridays as in, you would save teams you bring better support for the Saturday games and play the teams unlikely to bring huge support on Fridays.
Just basing that opinion on that surely teams would want to maximise Match Day/Concessions revenue.

I think the only time I've been to Cardiff for a game was on a Sunday in the past. Love Fridays

Hammond misses out tonight, but the good news is Sorenson returns. Our line-up still looks strong though, Ferrara moves onto a line with Welychka and Brady, fingers crossed he gets firing tonight

0-1 after 1, Coughler (whose name I've been mispronouncing since he arrived).
They've been better but not by loads, Dubeau's been ok, the others look a bit bus leggy.

1-3 now, Sorenson chucked for kicking. Can't see it.
Been very pedestrian tbh, both sides. Lots of PP practice for Cardiff, who certainly need it.

He didn't complain much though did he, and GG seemed fairly calm, all a bit odd. Like the commentator said it was closer to a slew foot than a kick.

1-4, empty net. Pretty poor puck control on a 6-on-4.

Not going to get to upset at a loss in Cardiff but still nothing much to change my opinion on where this team is.
We'll beat plenty of the other teams to build confidence and give a bit of false hope, then we'll come unstuck against the bigger teams. Now doesn't that sound familiar. Not seen anything to suggest those staggering away stats highlighted(by Jono I think) last season will change this year.
Maybe when Caruso and Hammond are back we may just compete and prove me wrong.

I will lament my fifteen quid after that one. Devils were the better side but overall I thought it a very poor game. Could've done with a goalie fight at the end.
I'm not really sure what we're aiming for with how we play.

Cardiff got better and better and were the much better team tonight

So, so flat tonight. These are the sorts of games that you have to be up for but there wasn’t any real physicality or aggression at either end of the ice from us. We didn’t compete nowhere near hard enough as a team but some players are still passengers.
Cardiff were so comfortable throughout the entirety of that game and the score line flattered us really. I’d say from front to back we still look very lightweight and on defence I’d say we need Caruso back plus somebody else with a bit more aggression.
Levin looks like he’s going to suit this league well, he’s got the strength and ability to create chances which others haven’t been doing, so I’d say he’s been a good pickup.
