My face won't stop being all :D :D :D! I totally didn't pick it either*, particularly when the Bluetongues scored in the first 90 seconds (oh Knights, why do you always need a warm-up period?) but their passes were a lot better, and their defence was sharper, and then after the Knights' first goal the Bluetongues got rattled** and the Knights pressed their advantage.
*When the Knights scored their first goal, the guy behind me commented hopefully that maybe the game would end on a penalty shoot-out this week, athough he felt it was unlikely... **To the point where there was a massive fight at the end when Schott went for a breakaway goal (sadly it was blocked) and the Bluetongues took out their frustration with their fists. Everyone on the ice joined in except for the goalies (well done, Mike Brown).
The Knights returned to form and lost as well (9-1! ouch, kind of glad I missed that one although I did catch the beginning). Not surprising though given that Clayworth, Rummukainen, Schott and Harry Byers (there are two Byers) all got themselves suspended after their fight. And also because they were playing the North Stars. :/
Interestingly apparently at least some of the suspended players still went on the road trip, because I heard on the commentary that they had to be told to stay ... look I lost track of it but I think they had to stay in the crowd and not near/on the bench? Anyway they got chivvied back into safe distance.

TOO MANY HAPPY FEELS TO PROCESS!
They were the happiest! As was the crowd!
Alas I will be playing (field) hockey myself at the time, although I could catch the first 15 minutes.
