NEWS: Morgan looking up as big games loom
Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan head coach Jason Morgan has branded the team’s current league placing as “unacceptable” ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Coventry Blaze.
Clan find themselves outside the play-off reckoning after the weekend’s results and in the midst of a five-game losing run.
And Morgan also gave his first impressions of new signing Stephen Desrocher, who joined earlier this week as he plots the challenges ahead.
“There are two important games coming up against Coventry and at this stage, every point is crucial, more so for us,” he said.
“Where we are in the standings is unacceptable to us as a group and as an organisation so we’ve addressed that with the alterations we’ve made, with Kevin in net and Stephen Desrocher in defence.
“It was his first practice with the team and he looked solid so we’re excited we’ll have him in the line up for the game in Coventry on Wednesday.
“He’s a big body and skates well for a big guy who will add depth, character and some leadership in that area of the ice.
“But we need to start now and play the game we know we all can and begin to close that gap in the standings and get ourselves a play-off spot.
“Six points separate us from fifth place, so we’re focussed on our game tomorrow. It hasn’t been good enough and the guys are dialled in and I’m looking for big performances from certain individuals.”
