Does Flyers season really start today?

[harlan]

Having had a quick look at the fixtures we have 29 games left of our season and I think we have 25 winnable games of those 29

Yes we have Erdhardt conference teams still to come to Kirkcaldy but we know what we are like on our own ice. and we really do know we can beat anybody in our barn

Going to our Gardiner conference rivals buildings shouldn't hold any fear for us either and those games are winnable for this team, not saying we will win them but they are games we should be looking to get points in if we have any ambition.

So as the title states. Does our season really start today?

[ckbell63]

It does not start now but could be over soon. Wished we had an 11th import to cover for Danny and Chris. We start a series of must win games. Edinburgh are much improved. Braehead will improve. The next few games will point towards where we will finish.

[sparkymark75]

We need to get the "away win" monkey of our backs. If we can do that today, I feel we can grow in confidence, if we don't then our season will probably continue to be a yo-yo of beating teams we don't expect to beat and then losing to teams we need to beat.

[coloradoflyer]

it's defo the start and we must take as many points as we can in these 5 games if we win the 5 we will be 6th 1 point behind blaze that's assumng they lose games, if we win say the 3 home games we will be 6th on 24 points, so yeah these games are huge in a way , also if we won the 5 games we would go from bottom of the conf to top of it, if we only win the 3 home games in our conf we would only jump 1 place to 4th ,

Badly need an away win especially against teams around us in the table. After last nights display we can only get better. One of the worst away performances I've seen for a long time. Enthusiasm seemed to be missing last night and the guys will be looking to put that right against the Stars.

Not too convinced Braehead will improve. I've heard they can't get people to sign. Also been hearing a lot about Galbraith leaving and he'll be gone in the new year.

[clanfandoug]

Regarding Braehead Jan 10th is the date players will be in by as that's the date for the 3 month visa to play here. Wouldn't be surprised if there is at least 4 or 5 new players. And one being your old goalie who is just awful. Yes poor D in front of him and can see 2 new guys coming in there also and 2 forwards. Sorry for taking of topic but just replying to the Braehead comment.
Just pray Wedderburn can return as he is one player that has been missed big time.

put wedderburn and bannister in front of zemmer what has happened so far to the clan this year would not be happening

Sure they will maybe keep shots to the outside or longer distance but a) they can't be on the ice all the time, b)defence involves your forwards too and c) Zemmer still let's in weak long range shots.

Garret wasn't the reason Clan lost to Cardiff he had one bad goal when he was lying on the ice the rest of the time he was hung out to dry.
Galbraith is playing injured and avoiding contact like the plague but to be honest there doesn't seem to be a lot of cohesion at Braehead just now.

Amazes me the excuses Flyers fans are still making for Zemmer. Seen plenty goals over the season that have just been bad net-minding plain and simple. His defence has been terrible but are guys like Riopel and the Caps guy playing behind great d-men? His stats this season don't lie. It's not all his fault but how many games has he won for Clan this season?

He was good fun to watch at times last season but c'mon- he's a Clan player now. Let's just accept that in desperate times last season we needed a fans favourite which Zemmer was, but we just over rated him a bit.
