By the end of the second we could have and should have been 4 or 5 up. They are indeed a quick transition team and direct. They actually do play physical, you don’t have to have big bodies to check hard. They have a very good active PK. They also stopped the late cheap shots so thumbs up for 2 ref system tonight. However, Davies needs stabilisers - just look at him and he falls over lol However, we had some great chances in the first 2 periods to be well ahead by the third. It seemed we stepped back a little in the third for some reason. Their first was a fluke, Bowns going post to post as the puck was passed from the boards hitting his stick and deflecting in. Their second was a scramble in front of Bowns with chances for our D to clear only for it to eventually squirt out sideways to one of their players. And their o/t winner came about by Fournier following his player who drop passed it to another that Benti was marking and they both went after the player no longer with the puck - the other, Dunbar, skated in on Bowns lifting it top corner. Though disappointed with a point it’s still a point and the pressure of the unbeaten run has also gone. Though Panthers have started winning again they’re only just getting over the line so I’m still confident the guys will bounce back tomorrow night. As for the next 2 games after that? I really do fancy us to take them both.
Shout out to the 2 guys stood behind us at the plexi tonight - loved the comments and banter guys #knowledge #funny ‘he’s only got Game!’ [emoji23]
