A BULLISH Ryan Finnerty has declared Braehead Clan have nothing to fear when German giants Ingolstadt come to town tomorrow night.

And the Canadian is hoping his players can make their Champions Hockey League rivals skate on thin ice to carve out a momentous victory for his team.

Just over two weeks ago the Glasgow side went down 5-2 just outside Munich as penalties proved costly.

Clan conceded three goals while playing with just three men, a factor that proved decisive in swinging the momentum away from the EIHL side.

Now on the eve of the return leg, Finnerty knows if his team brush up on their discipline then they are more than capable of causing an upset.

“It was a 5-2 score over there and they had three five-on-three goals,” he said.

“We got to learn from that, you can’t play shorthanded let alone with only three guys on the ice in any league. They scored three goals in that game. It doesn’t take a genius to crack that.

“I didn’t see a whole lot out of them five-on-five that was anything to petrify us.

“I think we are well matched and they will be coming into a tough building where hopefully we can gain some confidence and positives off of last week. We will hopefully be better.

“We are exciting and we are looking forward to it.”

Finnerty’s theory that his team paid the costly price of penalties was backed up by Ingolstadt defencman Patrick McNeill.

The Canadian admitted he was impressed by Braehead’s resolve, and is anticipating an even tougher test at the Braehead Arena.

He said: “I thought Braehead were a good team when we played them and they came out hard, competed well and they had us on our heels at times.

“They were physical and gave a good effort so we had to clean things. Getting the penalties got us back into it and I thought it was a good game.

“We didn’t come out as hard as we would have liked and we have to give credit to Braehead for how they started the game and causing a surprise.

“It sets things up nicely for our trip to Glasgow this week and we know it’s going to be a tough game.

“We obviously want to come to Glasgow and win. That goes without saying, but it’s going to be two different styles of play, which makes it interesting.”
