Capitals v Panthers

I got my first hockey "fix" of the new season tonight when I went to see the Edinburgh Capitals v Nottingham Panthers this evening.
Strangely, the Braehead Clan Fans sat with the Panthers fans? Weird I thought at the time and by the end of the 1st period I had had enough of sitting there politely applauding the Caps efforts amongst them. I don't do silent at hockey matches and those Panthers fan literally only made a noise when they scored bar a brief chant in the 3rd period. Don't understand following your team hundreds of miles and not giving them vocal support?
So, at the end of the period myself and 2 other brave fans went over to sit with the Caps fans and actually get to make some noise!!
Panthers won, as expected, but only by 5-1 and the Capitals put on a good show, especially as they only had 14 players on the bench. For me, Caps goalie Nathan Craze was MVP but didn't even get a mention. Travesty!! He played a blinder despite the score, making some superb saves.
