I was stood waiting for a break in play yesterday in Block 18 to take my seat
And two women were talking behind me (I assume they were players wives or girlfriends and afterwards they were talking to a Panthers fan they seemed to know well so I also assumed they were Panthers wives or girlfriends)
Anyway one said to the other - "he has just been offered to go back to Sweden"
followed by
"but Simmsy also wants to speak to him"
I don't know enough about History of Panthers players or staff to know who this would be - does it make sense to any of you lot ?

The only player on this year's team who's ever played in Sweden is Beckett, I believe.

It was two English girls saying this but I suppose they don't need to be the actual player's wife or girlfriend to have been talking about him

Jason Beckett was at the Lions game last week and I overheard him say to two other Panther fans, " If I'm playing hockey next year then it will be in Nottingham".

Werner has shone all season, but Beckett has been just as good! In the past month or so he has played some blinding defensive play.

More likely Dowd I'd of thought... I see he used to play at Steelers - and where I was stood led to either block 17 or block 18 so the two ladies I heard could have been heading to block 17 which was a steelers block So they maybe knew Dowd from the past then and had been speaking to him or his grilfriend etc earlier ? Anyway my rumour then becomes: Dowd could be heading to Sweden or Steelers Probably first and last rumour I will ever post

Who cares what Simms wants , doesn't mean it'll happen . Not sure who he or others thinks he is , he's just an over opinionated estate agent

Who cares what Simms wants , doesn't mean it'll happen . Not sure who he or others thinks he is , he's just an over opinionated estate agent +1 My wife watched the PO final on Sky TV yesterday and when I got home asked me who the Brummy was doing the commentary because (in her words) "he didn't seem to have a clue and just padded with repeated clichés". I told her who he was, to which she responded "is he the best we've got?" Sadly he isn't, he's just the most 'connected'. Apparently (among many Simmsisms) he said something about "Graham's 'super long' stick" because my wife asked me if the rules on sticks had changed, what with there being a maximum length if no dispensation is given (Chara for instance).

Beckett said to me in Belfast that he is hoping for a coaching role in North America with a junior team, but if he does not get any offers he would love to come back here.

That conversation would have been with Dowd & Hewitt's other halves. They were all at the top of Block 17 & must have had several people ask them the same question in the break!

Ah I knew it was Mrs Hewitt when some balls fell out of her purse.
