Coachella Firebirds: News and Discussion

Was unwell so missed the game yesterday but I am getting optimistic about Firkus. Another point for him yesterday getting him up to 4 points in 5 games. His +/- is also a team leading +3, so does not appear like his offense is coming at the expense of defense. Our team desperately needs someone with the game breaking skill like him, Catton, Sale, etc. so good to see that he started well.

3 point night for Winterton in tonight’s win over Bakersfield. Firkus doesn’t appear to have played.

The third period today was a clinic by the Firebirds. Up by 2 goals but forechecking like they are down by 2. Have dominated possession and even when the Eagles get chances, they are one and done because of the high pressure they are putting on.

Why can’t the parent club play like this?
(I concede they seldom have two goal leads.)

It was pretty much what the Kraken were doing over the first 4-5 games. The Firebirds are a young team and there are growing pains but they are starting with a clean slate at the pro level. They are buying into the system and executing.

I know Eberle just made sense from the captain perspective but maybe we should have gone with a louder voice in the locker room.
