he showed up 25lbs overweight! Or just over one and half stone, or for those who do the metric thing, 11.3kg. Not acceptable whichever way you measure it. Corey does have a bit of a knack for hiring pylons now and then. Maybe it is a vanity thing, hiring really poor players to make him look better.

I would take Tuma over Wilson any day. I think people have jumped all over Tuma because he picked up a groin in his first game, they saw his big frame and assumed he was fat. Players of his build are never going to look quick, if he is allowed to hang around, I think he will get most people on his side. If he was as poor as some people are saying, then surely as part of an understrength D last night, we would have conceded more than one. I have to agree with you! Give tuma a chance to show what he can do, tuma is not over weight he is just a big unit!

Panther fans have a habit of writing players off far too early. (Neilson anyone?)
Just goes to show how little the overwhelming majority of fans actually know.

I assume you mean he picked up a groin INJURY Players can be big because they're muscular, or they can just be plain fat. As people have said, Tuma was archived with the Florida Panthers stats as having weighed 209lbs, he's now about 30lbs heavier? If he is also having trouble with his speed and injuries, that would definitely suggest to me he's not been eating right and has let himself go slightly. If I were coaching, i'd have given him the month to shape up, or get rid. Assuming he arrived the beginning of september, that's nearly a month...

How about we should have signed a quality, in shape player from the start! "Giving him a chance" is'nt going to win trophies is it? To those saying he's not overweight, when we first announced we'd signed him, i researched him on the net and from his pics from previous seasons, he's piled the weight on. You can easily see it in his face!

Don't see why we cant carry extra imports, as long as we are spending within our means, why does it have to be one in one out? Having a longer bench gives us flexibility and chance to rest players when they pick up injuries. With Corey and Weaver out at the moment I don't think we should be ditching anyone. I still haven't made my mind up on Tuma, I haven't seen enough of him match fit to make a decent decision. I think the first few games the team as a whole has been poor and people have been looking for a scape goat and Tuma seemed to fit.

Can't wait to see him in action, against Steelers know-body really looked interested in fighting when the game really needed it, but hopefully he will cause some trouble for us tomorrow night if he is back in time.

And if you look at the pictures from the Lepine story on the OS, picture 4 clearly shows the shape that Tuma is in. Rest assured, they are Moobs, not pecs!

Maybe its all the "larger" panthers fans that want to give him a chance and stick up for him? I had a rather rotund fan behind me willing him on at the Steelers game!

Do you really think the majority of fans use this forum mr hockey god . Lmao I haven't said the majority of fans use this forum. Mr No Grammar. Unless you know the majority of fans in the arena it's safe to assume you we're referring to this site . If the best arguement you have to my reply is my grammar then ill just presume you haven't a clue and are generalising .

Very good news. Think there'll be a bit of noise on Tuesday when the players skate out... first of all welcoming Stewart, and then the welcome back to The Lepinator! Oh, please let's see a repeat:- [/quote To be fair that was a hell of a hit by lepine on harding, bit like the one weller laid on neilson during a game at the BBT
