Ok first time seeing us in the flesh this year so here goes.
I think there is potential in this team, going forward i have very little worries. Morrisette looks like a guy to pick up messy goals and looks very lively in and around net. The way he tracked the play for our 4th goal was very impressive.
Faulkner looks better than last year.
Max looks up for it.
Ben looks to be riding a wave of confidence.
Everyone else played well although Blight still drifts out of games a little too easily for my likeing. Matt Myers also seems to be struggling for a little bit of fitness for me as well.
It's sadly tonight individual errors costing us, for the first two periods our D men were far too high, we got the balance right in the third and limited Edinburgh to very few chances, it needs to stay like that.
What cost us time and again was puck chasing and not taking responsibility for tracking your man. This is not a G issue or a systems issue, its players having a brain fart issue. Tyson Marsh had a very good game but far too much he is trying too hard to be everywhere, he needs to settle down a little bit and realise that less is more in some cases and he does have other players on the ice to help him.
Our forwards also have to be more aware of their Defensive responsibilities, there also has to be more thought about when to finish a check, a few times tonight someone would finish a check that another player could have finished for them and Edinburgh then had an extra man on the rush.
Still if it were not for the Edinburgh goalie we could have hit double figures tonight, two wins on the bounce, let's build the confidence more tomorrow.
) and hope this is the start of many, many more.
