Big win that, and a positive weekend for MK with both Hull & Swindon dropping points. A fit Whale is a game changer for us, looks different gravy. Top of the league, looking ok in the cup, top goalscorers, joint least goals against. Has been a good start to the season ⚡️
🚨4 Point weekend 🚨 Lightning win. 0-3 A first shut out for Whale 🥅 on the road in Sheffield. The Barmy army were in fine voice, the extra man on the ice. Safe travels home everyone.

Thankfully we have a large squad, but that’s 4 big players, plus our coach, that’ll be missing on Saturday against a Swindon team, also coachless, who’ll be looking to bounce back from defeat to Leeds Sunday. Good one for us to win ⚡️

Disappointing for Stenton having to miss out because he was on the receiving end of a poor hit that’s injured him. But Jake has played really well for MK to start the season, so good to see him get the opportunity

Boom boom boom, let me hear you say Whale 🐳 Jared Whale gets the start tonight as Lightning look to snap a streak of 3 straight away losses against a Steeldogs team who have a strong home record, only losing once in OT to Raiders. Lines are unchanged from the team that…

… put Potty to the sword last night. Sheffield start with MK fan favourite Owen in net, while top scorer Salituro netted a hatty in Bristol last night. Pressure on MK to get a result with Swindon & Hull breathing down their neck

Yeah, more like a disasterclass 😬 What has happened to Potty? Poor in possession, no edge at all. 40 mins in and not even the hint of a penalty, it’s all just too easy.
Replying to @Beresfa
High possibility given performances so far. Fully expect him to put on a masterclass tonight in MK now 😅

It’s fright night in MK as the Phantoms are in town for a Halloween showdown 👻 Pete names the same personnel as travelled to Swindon for the shoot out loss last Sunday, with the only change in net, where Heds gets the start tonight. Griff continues in his 4th line forward role

Hennessy returns in net for Phantoms after conceding 5 in 9m 10s and getting pulled against Raiders. Ferrara & Bowering also return, whilst Rais Francis from Storm is included in the line up. They’ve had some rough results, but are still dangerous, should be a fun one ⚡️

Wonder who this could be…. Telford looking for an Import? Potty looking to replace theirs……? If it is someone looking to replace a Brit nettie, they’ll need to gas one of the other imports to bring them in

Great to see Carter Hamill, Hazeldine & Beattie called up to the GB squad. Does however mean they’ll miss the visit of Swindon next Saturday, along with Pete 😬 Swindon will be missing their head coach also for the game Assume they’ll be back for Potty on the Sunday

Always happy to get a point in Swindon, but a bit disappointing having been two goals ahead. Still, long way to go, could be massive come the end of the season. Phantoms in town next week, let’s hope it’s no fright night and we can get back to winning ways again
A tight, end-to-end battle that couldn’t be separated in regulation or overtime, but unfortunately, the shootout goes the Wildcats’ way tonight. The team showed fantastic determination throughout, battling hard to take the game all the way to a shootout, but Lightning narrowly miss out on the extra point. We take a point on the road and go again back at home next Saturday night ⚡

Mk travel to Swindon for a league & cup showdown with the reigning league champions Pete names the same personnel that put Bristol to the sword last night, with Whale retaining his spot in net. Griff down as 4th line winger 👀

🐳 Whale, Hello there! 👀 Jared Whale makes his first appearance of the season as The Pitbulls come to town to face a Lightning side looking to bounce back from defeat in Hull last Sunday Cownie remains sidelined so it’s the same personal from that loss last week

Ben Norton gets the nod ahead of ex-MKLer Will Kerlin, whilst there is also a return to the Thunderdome for Kelly & Hunt, after their departures in the summer Pitbulls lost 5-2 at home to Bison last night, and MK ran out 5-3 winners in Bristol last time they faced off
