Garbage performance. Only one team looked like they knew they were in a must win game and it certainly wasn't us. Glasgow were first to every loose puck, they were not shy to play the body and were willing to put their bodies on the line to block shots. Since Nickerson left, we have had to put up with guys like Fitzgerald, Cowick and now Stevenson coming to Kirkcaldy and taking the ****.
We have a few decent players this season but full clear out required, starting with the coaches. 3 seasons of failing to make the play-offs. It would be ridiculous if Dutiaume and Hutchins kept their jobs. I would keep Cochrane, Page and Henderson and start again. We desperately need a new coach, a new GM, better recruitment and a faster, more physical, more entertaining style of hockey. We pay a lot of money to follow the Flyers and we deserve better.

It’s unacceptable Where’s the accountability Huge crowd tonight Far more than 1927 that’s for sure Good thing is only 3 games left and only 1 more at home

To be fair I don't think there's any lack of effort the team are just not good enough and are wrong mix yet again for this league. We bring in what's labelled a goal scorer in Nault he's not, a speedy player in MacDougall he is fast but that's it. Bafaro is not much better than Cochrane. And Lahkonen is just not up to this league anymore, neither is Larry. Only passmarks import wise is Johansen, Owen, Emmerdahl, Sherbinin most the time but is looking fatigued. We need to learn we cannot outskill most of the league and need to have that bit extra bit of grit to play games like tonight. That's not players faults it's the coaches once again. If Manchester can do it so can we easily. On another note hearing Glasgow have not paid bills to Bauer and Warrior and are having to use old sticks. If a team that well supported can't make it work then everyone bar the 3 arena teams are in bother.

If those 2 are at the helm for next year I really cant see the team lasting, I will be damned if I will payout to see some mediocre product that cant even get motivated for what was probably the biggest game of the season ever again, yes players as much at fault, but bottom line it comes to coaches. Todd is just a cardboard cutout who quite frankly looks lost, The job is just to big for him, even in the days when he coached them in SNL everyone will tell you it was Martin Grubb who the team really listened too. Think I am one of many who will be finding something else to spend my hard earned wages on if its the same next season.

Could giving Lawrence or McKenzie or both a shout at the coaching position be an option. Both got the playing experience and both motivational, couldn’t be any worse. Look at Ginn or the Glasgow stand ins in their rookie coaching season

But we have a coach who gives him a C and on the top line.

Bottom Line We have been turned over by the Clan at home this season in the League Last night was humiliating to say the least The Clan fans despite their season they will remember last night as one of the greats We played in to Stevensons barrow also Hopefully his antics won’t go unpunished Next season we need an overhaul Forking out a season ticket and Streamed 90% of this years games there has not been much to cheer about other than the Cup run The thing is I would have been happy to finish 10th if we improved Spence Page Henderson etc But we have not done that either Cochrane is capable, these other guys have not progressed I listened to Finn Page on blue white and gold and the lad was dignified in his response avoiding the awkward question as were the interviewers TD &JH need called out on this as to why The said the goal was reaching Playoffs It is unlikely that this will happen 2022-2023 team will go down as the team that we’re better to only 2011 team in terms of points Not great Something needs to change There was over 2000 fans last night The takings alone will make a hard nosed businessman think why am I not seeing more of this Ask 80% of fans what the issues are they will tell you same answers Last night was sad to be honest We should build a team that can deal with them as a minimum Two goals were bad luck last night Our PP was a joke we had loads of opportunities We choked

Stevenson acted like a kn*b after the fight but I’d absolutely love someone like that in our team. If Nickerson had done that we’d have been lapping it up.
Out played Out fought Out sung
Poor

A silent protest against coaching reform for the first 5 minutes of the Dundee game?

You will all go watch them week in week out, it's your money you are wasting, the club don't care, they are counting through money on the way to the bank. You all have plenty to say on this but don't do anything about it

Travelled through to the game last night and was really surprised how poor Fife were. Was expecting a real tough game but Flyers didn’t seem as up for it as us which was surprising.
For all the hatred for Stevenson he is a heart and sole guy that gives everything. Not the most skilled guy but loved in the dressing room as although he is not the biggest he will always stick up for his teammates or do anything to win. As said already he is a guy you love to hate as an opposition fan but one you would love on your side. Has had fights with much bigger guys than him like Mark Louis so not scared to mix it to get a reaction from the team. Nickerson was a guy I hated to play against but he was pure entertainment & a character, we need more of that in the league imo
You guys really need fresh blood in the coaching area, it’s too stale. The fans need a lift with that change. Best of luck guys !
