Another big win for caps tonight, 3 imports short and 3 down going into last period against one of the top sides and they win 4 - 3 in OT. Riley Emmerson is doing a fantastic job there, they have been short on imports for most of the campaign and have managed to beat both Cardiff and Sheffield twice, oh and I believe they have also been entertaining to watch. If the Flyers board have any ambition they should be going out on a limb to entice Emmo to the auld barn for next season.

I agree he is doing an amazing job. Seems a smart coach to get great results minus 3 imports. I went to see them a few weeks ago against a strong Panthers and they won that game too. I'm afraid our owners only see one coach for Flyers. A serious lack of ambition. I would rather we had a positive coach that had a team that played all out entertaining hockey but we don't. They forget that hockey is not all about results as fans want to be entertained. I would rather not win anything and be entertaining than not win anything and be boring.

Mega jealous of the caps right now. Could almost guarantee 2500+ every game with a team like that playing. I think Ned will fit in perfect with them too.

See this is where I don't understand these points. Caps have played 4 games more than us and lead us by 4 points, so they ain't doing any better statistically than us. Give you the fact that they are more entertaining. Seem to remember us being fairly entertaining last season and being chastised for it.

Did you see how few players they iced last night and still won. Can you imagine us against Cardiff so short benched? Or how about their average crowd of give or take 800 vs ours of 2000 at the moment 2,500 if we had something decent to watch. Bottom line is we should be miles ahead of them but are not. I would take a bet that they end up finishing higher than us in both league and conference. As a Caps related aside, in the EIHL highlight show from last weekend the only two games not shown from was our 3-1 win at home against Braehead and the 9-11 Caps Stars game. The only reason I can think of is that the quality of the coverage is not high enough for TV, why else would they not show these games? If quality is the reason both teams should be forced to fix it.

At the start of the season I joked with my OH that Caps would be a top 4 team, I still believe they will be come the end of the season.

I wonder how many points worse off we would be if we were continuously 2 and 3 imports short like the Caps have been....I shudder to think! If the powers that be were to see the light and get in a forward thinking coach like Emmerson we would no longer be perpetual strugglers.
