A great weekend for Braehead Clan as they wrapped up four points agains Edinburgh Capitals and Hull Stingrays. Those points, coupled with Coventry Blaze losing to Nottingham Panthers sees Clan move up into 5th place in the EIHL League.
Tonight, Clan saw off the Stingrays 3-2 in what is reported to have been a nervy affair but well deserved win despite being out shot 54-37. The result puts clear air between the 2 sides as Rays are now 11 points behind with only two games in hand.
Last night at Braehead Arena, the Clan took on the beleaguered Edinburgh Capitals. Michael Will started in goal for the first time and kept a clean sheet as Clan ran riot, finally winning 15-0. He also got the Clan MOTM award.
The match was more of a training session for Clan as the Capitals only had 9 skaters. BUT let me make this clear, those 9 skaters gave their all for their club and kept going and trying to the end! Capitals MOTM was the whole team and they got a very deserved standing ovation at the end. The club's current situation is definately not down to lack of committment from the current squad!!
Considering there as a very healthy 1300+ the atmosphere was subdued and difficult to generate any energy as my vocal chords will confirm lol.
A special mention here for Vince Connon, he got his first goal for the Clan!!! Way to go Vince!! Hope it is the first of very many!!!!!!!!
This weekend coming sees a visit from the fans of Adler Die Mannheim who struck up a close relationship with the now defunct Ayr Eagles to see Clan take on Cardiff Devils. Looking forward to that!!
Sunday sees Clan visit Coventry Blaze and sticks are crossed we see another 4 point weekend!
Richardson's Purple Army!!!!!!!
