Great performance and a fitting tribute to Jason Stone.
I actually didn't think Caps were that bad for 2 periods at least, just that we were excellent with 3 lines all causing problems and looking capable of scoring. The last time we had that was the record breaking year!
There were so many standout players it must have been difficult to pick MOM, but I thought Mychan and Bowns were unlucky to miss out, although Martin was as ever a standout too. Walton was also excellent and has really picked his game up the past 2 weeks racking up some serious points in the process. I think with Culligan back alongside him and Mychan adding a huge physical presence to that line we have another line that looks like it has settled down. Dare I say that Clarkson reminds me more and more of Vother every game and I also thought Culligan had a very good game and looked electric at times skating into the zone. Mo and Lord were everywhere as normal and Myers also had a very good game with a well taken goal.
Our D is as mean as they come in this league with Hendrix lining up opposition players time and time again with perfect hip checks and crunching them into the boards. It was quite amusing watching him smash Hartmann with one last night and then seeing Hartman skate away grimacing. He did the same to Jarolin who was anonymous after that. Batch is playing like a seasoned pro alongside him with his physicality hugely improved this year. Hotham and Hudson add fantastic offence whilst Richie and Marsh go so efficiently about their jobs you sometimes don't notice them.
All in all we are very lucky fans at the moment. 3 strong lines of D and forwards making us very strong and we must be a nightmare to play against as there is no respite for the opposition especially with the energy of Jones and Piggott when we need to rest some of the other guys.
