Thanks to the team at Edinburgh Capitals I was able to watch a web cast of tonight’s game.



After the disappointment of last week’s game at home to Belfast (Coventry Blaze 2 Belfast Giants 3) cumulating in the suspension of Scott Kelman it was good to pick up 2 points on the road. Even the commentators from Edinburgh recognised that the Blaze performance was a lesson in ice hockey and one worthy of watching.



So what happens on the discussion forum after the match: One expert reckons there’s nothing achieved by such a one sided result, the league is a waste of space and such a result will only demoralise the fans. This after berating the Blaze for a lack lustre performance last week.



Get beat by a team looking at this early stage as potential league champions and the Blaze are rubbish and players should be sacked. Turn in a magical performance and you’re killing the league. Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don’t.



It’s little wonder I’m too scared to contribute opinions to the forum. It seems that if you enjoy what you’re watching and not wanting to pick faults you aren’t a supporter of your team.



Sad thing is it’s not just hockey where this demoralising / negative mentality shines through.
