Woooo didn't really see that coming despite my optimism! A four point weekend for the Braehead Clan, home v Fife Flyers and away to Cardiff Devils!!
Saturday night saw the Clan host Fife Flyers in front of almost 1900 fans (about 300 more than my estimations it has to be said) and the Clan obliged said fans with a most comprehensive 10-1 victory over the visitors.
The extent of the victory was less important for me than the actual performances on the ice. Four goals for Mike Bayrack being the most notable achievement in an individual basis but overall, the team played with much confidence throughout. Slicker and more complex passing moves were evidence of intense training sessions and team building exercises coming to fruition.
Tonight saw the Clan visit Cardiff devils where I had previously seen Clan get dismantled. Tonight was a different story as Clan won 4-3 in OT to stop the devil's 2 year unbeaten streak at home. (Does an OT loss count as a loss in that streak? Hmm dunno lol)
Drew Bannister received a terrible hit but managed to regain things and return in the 3rd period and even floor that giant man called Voth!!
Downside is that Mike Will is currently in hospital after being hit with the stick of............Brad Voth. Yep even on the bench you're not safe against that man but most reports suggest it was unintentional. Get Well Soon Mike!!
Anyway, the last couple of weeks will have sent out a message to the rest of the EIHL, Braehead Clan are improving with every match and are a force to be reckoned with even more than last year!!
Let's Go Braehead!!!
