Thompson wants a response this weekend
Coach Paul Thompson is demanding a reaction from his CPP Coventry Blaze side when they take on Hull Stingrays at Hull Arena in the Rapid Solicitors Elite League tomorrow night.
Blaze suffered successive 6-1 defeats to title-chasing Nottingham Panthers last week and head to Hull having lost six of their last seven matches on the road.
But Thompson said: “I want to see a big reaction. When you are on the road it is about being mentally tough and having the right mental approach towards the game. You have to do whatever it takes to be successful.
“Hull have been a tough team for everyone this season but we just need to be more ruthless. We have been creating good scoring chances but have been too soft around the net.
“To be the best you need to be ruthless and take your opportunities and we have been working on that this week.
“The guys we have are a good bunch and they want to win and their pride gets hurt when they lose. We played solid back-to-back games in Belfast recently without getting any reward – but we need to bring that every night.”
Thompson also believes Swedish forward Peter Nylander will have a bigger impact this weekend.
Nylander had a baptism of fire against Nottingham, having flown into the country earlier in the week, but Thompson added: “He has had another couple of practices now and his timing and speed is coming along.
“He has had a little bit of a lay-off but he is a quality player and we will start to see that.”
Blaze take on Fife Flyers at the Skydome in the Rapid Solicitors Elite League on Saturday February 4 (7pm face-off). Tickets can be purchased by ringing the Box Office on 02476 630693 (option 0) or by booking online at www.coventryblaze.co.uk.
