Fantastic weekend for Stingrays despite only win...
It was an eventful weekend which, despite only one win, looking at the stats it was unbelievable. Saturday night at home was against Belfast and as expected, the giants took the points in a 2-0 shut-out victory for goalie Stephen Murphy. However, both goalies had something to be proud of.
Stephen Murphy because of a shut out.
Ben Bowns because he made FIFTY EIGHT saves. This is rated as the second most amount of saves made in a game behind Fife Flyers former goalie Garret Zemalk with 76 saves in 2011 vs Nottingham panthers!
Sunday and a Hull side exploding with confidence went down to Cardiff and despite it being 3-3 late on, a late winner from Jereme Tendler and an empty netter to seal it off completed possibly their best weekend so far!

Panthers return from Scotland with nothing despite a historic comeback..
Not very often you see it but Nottingham panthers had a terrible weekend! A 4-2 loss to Fife flyers which was tense and tight throughout resulted in an empty netter for a sold out crowd win for the Flyers! Fife had a fabulous win and it was a rough game that Flyers deserved more.
Onto Sunday, and panthers were raring and pumping as they traveled to the Scottish Capital to take on the Edinburgh Capitals. Surprisingly, an all caps first period saw them 1-0 up but that was only the start of it. Caps kept going. And this would result at a mid-way not one , not two, not three but four goal lead which was stunning. Panthers, on the other hand didn't want this to get worse! They finally broke the shutout for 4-1 then a quick second goal saw a comeback on. A caps fifth goal to take a 5-2 lead into the final period made Nottingham look buried. It was an action packed final period which saw panthers stun caps with three straight for 5-5 but just when they thought they were making history, caps spoiled the party with a 6th goal but..again panthers just made this a madly tense game to send it to the dreaded overtime.
Panthers already had a historic comeback and were left gutted with an OT winner on a penalty shot goal from Jake Portwood but credit for almost coming back!
A 4-2 win, a 4-2 loss for steelers...

Sheffield steelers had a mixed weekend but a good performance at that with the return of head coach Doug Christensen. A 4-2 win in Coventry Saturday which was one way then another and a fierce battle between too very competitive teams. Steelers led 4-1 going to the final session but Coventry pulled one back for 4-2 however, it too little, too late!

Next day and steelers had a four point weekend on the line but Belfast giants came in too strong and won with the same scoreline Sheffield won the previous night 4-2.

Flyers press with all their might in hard weekend with surprising results...
As we already said it was a fab 4-2 victory Saturday vs Nottingham Panthers and made them ready for a big trip to Dundee on Sunday! It went mainly Dundees way as expected but Flyers pushed hard for three goals for a final score of Stars 6-3 Flyers!
