I wouldn’t have put Lagrone in tonight. Why change it on a road game after an impressive victory and disrupt the lines. I wonder if this is a case of GG not fully understanding the league and underestimating Fife. It can’t go carrying on having false dawns though and these road games need to get sorted ASAP 2 points out of 12 on the road now? Steelers by contrast are a perfect 7-0 on the road so far.

Gagnon chucked out too, anything ban worthy? Gagnon was called after a coming together with a Fife player, then whilst the player was sat on the ice Gagz cross-checked him but it was to the neck region, obviously he was frustrated at the initial call but it’s a bit late to start being (overly) aggressive at that point. We’ll see what mood DOPS are in

DL is back and the team get shelled! Coincidence?? Get rid Hammond -4 Brady -3 Lagrone -2 I think you just don’t like him. Did he run over your cat or something? I’ll be honest, Hammond has been the biggest disappointment of the season for me, was certainly missing tonight again

Line-ups released on the gamesheet. Lagrone comes back into defence, Hazeldine misses out and Puffer has been chosen to sit out as well. Hopkins not traveled either so we’re going with 11 forwards. Hopefully this doesn’t cost us. So they don't take Puffer who constantly throws himself in front of any puck heading towards the goal and rest Archie who is one of only 3 D men with a positive +/- instead of Moore. Hmmmmm, doesn't look like a blinding success

Echoes of the final season in the old barn. Team killed itself on Saturday night to get the win against better opposition, nothing in the tank Sunday and get mullered. That team was cheap, Black said it needed to be so because of the money to be spent the following season in the shiny, new arena. Sound familiar?

Hmmmmm, doesn't look like a blinding success Assuming it wasn't down to bumps & bruises, it seems slightly strange to have changed a winning team. Even stranger changing it into a team with one player fewer. Getting very good at burying a defeat on the OS, wouldn't even know we'd played tonight.

I’ll be honest, Hammond has been the biggest disappointment of the season for me, was certainly missing tonight again He’s mercurial, I’ll give you that. When he’s good he’s very good, he sees the ice differently to most, it seems, but he didn’t have his best game last night it appears.

Even the EIHL website describe it as a "nasty" cross check, after describing the game as a "thrashing". Surely a bit more neutrality would be desirable? 2-3 games incoming, I'd think.

He made one brilliant move on goal at one point but he needs a player/s around him to make space. He’s very easy to crowd out of the game.

Yes it was pretty much a thrashing and Fife really deserved the credit because we just didn’t turn up. Pretty much down to the war the night before then the long bus ride I’m sure but to be fair to Fife we were never in the game

Give him space and he'll kill you, but play him close and he's half the player?

I agree he’s got the skills, we just need him to be more consistent and to have more of an impact when at 5 on 5 though. He has had his line mates changed of late but for me he was most effective when on a line with Welsh (who coincidentally has struggled to pick up the points of late). Still some tweaking required from Graham I feel.

Will this team finish in the top 8 ? I'm beginning to have doubts. Top 8?! I don't think they'll make the top 10!!

Why isn't there a video explanation? There was a video on twitter yesterday. Gagnon is a very lucky boy, cross checked the Flyers guy high once to send the guy down then after several seconds returns and cross checks him twice more in the back of the neck whilst the other guy is on his knees.

Neither of the cross-checks delivered while the Fife player was on his knees were to the back of the neck.

You need to go to Specsavers. That’s absolutely not what happened. DJP called it above. It’s not clever, but the post whistle cross checks are not to the back of the neck. Still think he’s lucky not to be banned for at least a game.

If they were going to ban that then some of the checking to the head bans needed to be double what they got.
