We have no right to win every game but that's an unacceptable score line. 8 goals conceded is not on and there is something not right about our defensive unit this season. Apart from the Davos home game, when we played a much tighter game and more defensive style, we've been far too loose at the back. We have two returning D units in Hotham-Richardson and Fournier-Louis, both served us superbly well last season, yet we've split the latter and Louis is getting significantly less ice time. I just don't get it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I'd be interested to hear how many odd man rushes we gave up tonight?
Also, if the price of signing a spare import is Lord not playing, then please don't sign one! We have inferior players to Lord on the ice when he's on the bench and we should be playing our best team every game. And why is the league MVP sitting out fighting penalties both games of our opening league/CC campaign? Utter madness and this happened last time we didn't sign an enforcer when 'team toughness' was the supposed order of the day. And Hotham got a serious hand injury that year. He needs to be on the ice, not fighting - others should be stepping up to the plate for that, or sign an enforcer who's prepared to fight. A very disappointing night.
