Any idea how big an impact he made at Dundee last season as assistant coach? Was he one of the driving forces behind their success? If not then it would be a backward step on the coaching front as well as the playing side of things. What success? Not finishing last like the season before? I don't get the love for Dundee. Is it because their coach is "one of the guys" in the EIHL country club? He even got nominated for coach of the year. For what? If anything, Dutes should have been nominated for it. Team written off by everyone before start of the season, a lot had us down as finishing last. We finished 6th, pushed for the conference to the end and made the final 4 weekend. I'm not Dutes #1 fan but he's on a hiding to nothing in this league.

Totally agree Mark, I will say dundee did look to have a good squad and did impress early on but they fell away and we ended up finishing infront of them in the league. The only thing Dundee could take from last season was a few good results and a league position improvement
Also not the biggest Todd fan but credit where credit is due the 2nd part of the season, really turned things around and really gutted we ended up with 0 silverware. Maybe if we had won a trophy he could have been in the running?

Its funny we all think the same thing with regards to last season and its been raised as a vaild point by Todd many times during interviews. This notion that we were better in the second half of the season. Its a point I have made myself a few times.
Now I don't think anyone would argue that we did play better during the second half of the season, BUT what exactly was our record?
66 games played so split that right down the middle and it means the second half started on the 27th December (so after Nico had joined).
First half - 15 wins 18 losses 45% winning record Second half- 16 wins 17 losses 48% winning record
So its a swing of one game!!!
Have to say that really surprised me I honestly thought we did far better in the second half not just in performances but in results aswell.

Be interesting to see the same stats for the teams we finished above. You would think Edinburgh and dundee swing in the wrong direction for second half

Caps with 59 games played were:
First half - 10 wins 24 losses 29% winning record Second half- 1 win 24 losses 4% winning record
Stars with 63 games played were:
First half - 16 wins 17 losses 48% winning record Second half- 11 wins 19 losses 37% winning record
The amount of games played obviously varies by team but xmas day was the mid point for the fife stats so I just used that same point for these 2.

So looks like we maintained our average steady form while Dundee fell away, certainly in the win column, caps obviously completely blew it. Not that it matters really. Cheers for taking the time though.

Tick Tock not much of tomorrow left Fife Free Press tomorrow? maybe!! Todd has been on the Forum and seen all the negative comments Right they can go a few weeks with no news for that........... Geez the Caps have overtaken us on signing news now I was hoping for a pod cast from Murdoch& Frame but it would be very short......... The Clan Podcast was decent they have signed a good Brit Core with Davies yet to make up his mind I think we will see Clan play 4 lines against Gardiner opposition this coming season
