I thought I'd paid for a hockey season ticket and not a football one .. delayed start due to a game with little bearing on what I've paid to watch. Some people have to get up early for work tomoorow after travelling 15 miles home. Whilst I feel the same unfortunately it's a big deal to a lot of our fans and it would take precedence over a game against Fife. Maybe in hindsight, scheduling a game on World Cup Final day isn't a good idea. I wouldn't have shown both entrance videos though

I thought that it was a good performance, Fife have done numbers on us and tonight (As well as last night) we made them look ordinary.
I loved that we kept them in their own zone for long periods of time.
Remember this was our 3rd game in 4 days (Which included a trip to Scotland and back) to win comfortably is pretty impressive.

Was a little dissapointed the intensity had dropped from the last 3 or 4 games. Was almost like a training session for large periods. That and the Shane Owen show again. It's a game we would have lost for most of this season so far though. The difference is that they are now drilled well enough for the quality to come through. Corey and Rick have done a great job of getting this team organised. At least we can now feel confident that with just 1 or 2 additions this team could at least compete for the 2 cups.Going to have to happen soon then. At least for the Challenge Cup.

After the first leg against the Giants I see no reason we can't at least get to the final. Things are looking up with what we have now and the 2nd leg isn't until after Christmas. Ideally we will see 1 or 2 additions by then too.

Anyone else find it kind of strange that the previous coach was unable to get this bunch tactically organised? I don’t think he had a clue and he didn’t know our league

I don’t think he had a clue and he didn’t know our league Only the players can really give us a true insight as to what GG was like tactically but I think it’s clear that he didn’t have a clue as to how this league works, especially in regards to brits. Also where I think GG really failed is that after a poor performance/loss his default was to give the players the hairdryer treatment and I think that resulted in him losing the players very early on

Think that's the first shutout we've posted this season.

Not at all.. he was utter garbage and I was saying he was the problem and all I kept seeing was we signed crap players in the summer ... Come off it Pidge. You were purring like the rest of us in September and before. THIS TEAM IS NOT SHORT OF GOALS Remember that one? No mention of any “crap” at that stage at all. We were all a fair way off the mark. It happens. While I’m on, anyone else think Brady’s carrying a knock, his skating is quite laboured at times lately?

Exactly I said the team was full of goals.. problem was the clown behind the bench didn't have them play to their strengths or any strength for that matter. They were better players than the results showed. I commented after a game I went to that the players weren't playing for GG.. literally what is happening now all points to GG not getting a tune out of the players ? Would a GG side come back from 0-2 to beat the giants at home .. would a GG side beat fife 8-1 over a weekend?

He had a bit of a stinker to be honest. One of those you get away with as a forward. No damage done and it was more laughable than anything, but appeared to fluff almost every attempt he had on goal. I did also notice Hazeldine and Hopkins not being utilised though. I think overall Corey made a good call there. Theyd just played 5 games in a week, the team had hit some form with the line up as it was and they obviously hadn't been practicing with the team all week. Perhaps if any players had any knock of concern theyd have been rested late on and those 2 got some shifts. He certainly could have rested 1 and slotted Levin in on 1 set line, running just 3 for the night.

Think it was blocking a shot and he was in difficulty but couldn't get off the ice. Missed a couple of shifts but came back later on.

By the same token though, if the players had “bought in” to what he wanted, what would they have been like? All a bit moo, to quote Joey
