Thoughts or predictions?
Would like to think we can something out of both games but tbh I haven't seen anything of Fife (and have read little more) so I don't know how good they are -mind you they've historically been tough on their own ice and it's a fair old trek to boot.

Even with the travel i'm expecting 4 points. Fife are missing 3 imports (2 injured and 1 not signed) plus a brit and haven't started the season very well. MK look good but are also full of injuries including both import netties (not sure if either is fit for tomorrow) and will probably have a very tough game tonight vs Devils. We can't let such a great chance for 4 points to slip through our fingers

So, Pacquette gets match for abuse and if twitter is to be believed we've managed a grand total of 15 sog in two periods. Sigh.

Dumb, dumb, dumb by Pacquette, we're two imports down and he takes a stupid match for abuse so he'll now miss tomorrow. Long coach home and then a game against a team that just beat Cardiff. Needs to wake up

Looking at the video, I think the match official was in the wrong. He has no reason to grab hold of your player.

I'm not sure who he was that grabbed Paquette, he was looking down at his phone just before and then grabs Paquette as he is still climbing over the boards, he doesn't look like he is wearing ID. I'm only going by the video as I wasn't there but if it was how it looks any wound up player would react the same way.

Utter disgrace. Until this season i hadn't missed a home game since 2006 but what a relief i haven't bought a season ticket this season. Fans are being taken for mugs by Buxton/Pease. I will never set foot in skydome under that management.

Well that was interesting. We were picked apart by MK. They were better prepared, coached and faster than us tonight. They had no idea in the second, just picked apart by a team defending a lead. They are fit players committed but it looks to me that the message from the coaches isnt getting though or they are not listening. This is the second group of players with this management now so i dont blame the players. Time after time when we are behind thats the game there is no variation or imagination. I could go on.

I've worked it out we have one good week followed by one pile of **** week! Now we know we fans won't have to bother turning up every other week.

Well on the plus side - it gives us masses of opportunity to improve, perhaps if we just focus on 3 key basics - netminding, defence and offence.
That was just inexcusable, we were execrable, just plain dreadful - MKL executed well and were clinical in front of net and the game was effectively over by end of P1. The right team won - hugnrier, faster and better prepared. I'm beginning to feel that we are looking like we have all the potential to become a replica of last year. Bit worried really.

Better netminding, better defence, better offence, better coached, better drums, better songs....... not a lot in our favour really apart from Vallerand putting Nickerson on his backside!

Vallerand is absolutely 100% my high point of this team so far.

I am so sick of drums, both home and away drums. We get a discounted ticket price due to my wife’s companies sponsorship of the Blaze, so we get Block 9 every week, I suffer with tinnitus and every week we go I have screaming in my head because of the drums, last night was even worse with the MK drums and I’m suffering badly today and cannot hold a conversation as I can’t hear above the screaming noises. I love hockey but am reluctant to go now because of the drums.

Bless them for trying as nobody liked the Stewart chanting from the away fans, but give me the guy with the massive voice in Block 2 who used to start the whole rink chanting any day
