Edinburgh Capitals BLOG

As I am sure all of you can imagine, Saturday night was an absolute nightmare. We were completely outplayed. Basingstoke deserves a lot of credit, they came to play. After the game we as a team smashed the video tape as a symbolic gesture that we had to look forward not backward. It was a huge game, but there was nothing we could do. It was over. We had to move on.

I thought on Sunday afternoon before coming to the rink that we would find out what kind of team we are. I am happy to report that we have a lot of players with a great deal of heart. Sunday's game was pretty, however, it was effective. Without some key players, everyone had to step up.

I was extremely proud of J.F. Perras. After a tough night, he bounced back and was the wall we needed him to be. His play paved our way to victory. He clearly deserved man of the match.

Sheffield comes to the Murrayfield this weekend. They are a team desperate to right their ship. I know they are coming to Edinburgh expecting success. I am confident that if we play the way we can we will be with them every step of the way.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the Murrayfield this weekend! Bring a friend, it should be great hockey!
