Ah shame. The free fringe is an option, but doesn’t eliminate any other costs, which I agree are outrageous. I’m sure I’ll get to see you boys at some point (and buy you a drink!)

Wasn’t there mention of an Edinburgh show?

Only 11-1 at the end. Well done boys! #edinburghcapitals #northayrshirewild #ukhockey #icehockey

Oh my word. Scoring with 17 seconds left to win 6-5. What a game. #edinburghcapitals #aberdeenlynx #ukhockey #icehockey

Ooh it’s getting feisty here. End of the 2nd #edinburghcapitals 4-4 #aberdeenlynx. Scott Geddes scoring short handed for us, then people getting ejected from the game. Most entertaining hockey match I’ve been to for a long time. #ukhockey #icehockey

Wallace: Hardcore no-dealer
Gromit: Thought it was the right decision, but regrets his vote?

This is my bedroom.

Final score

Edinburgh Capitals 8 - 4 @whitleywarriors.bsky.social A spirited attempt in the 3rd from Whitley, let’s see if we can keep the lead tomorrow. #ukhockey #icehockey

Santa’s driving the Zamboni though!

End of the 2nd

Edinburgh Capitals 6 - 1 @whitleywarriors.bsky.social

Games getting feisty now. One of those games where every decision goes our way. I dread to think what reception we’ll get at the return fixture. #ukhockey #icehockey

End of the 1st

Edinburgh Capitals 4 - 1 @whitleywarriors.bsky.social

Given our performance over the past few games, I am shocked at how well that first period went. Was looking like a close game for the majority of it, but the shooting chances have gone our way. #ukhockey #icehockey

Honestly, that third period, I mostly spent playing on my phone. I don’t think I’ve ever been genuinely annoyed watching a game before.

I love the Caps, but bloody hell. I know we’re a good team, I know we could win every game, but then you have a second period like that. Joe’s goal was decent, but we’re still 3-1 down. Kirkcaldy are just a bogey team for us. #ukhockey #edinburghcapitals #kirkcaldykestrels #icehockey

Now, in my rules I said any repeats get a 0/10, and this is technically a repeat. Looking at my previous reviews, I had this on December 1st 2022. However, it’s a different year, so I will allow it.

2 years ago I gave it 5/10. This year I like it less. 4/10.

I’m also annoyed at being given the Battle League Timed Research. I don’t want it. I don’t do battle league. Sure I can just hide it and ignore it, but as someone with a need
/compulsion to finish all my quests, it kills me to have it sitting there.
