Fairly pleased. Not gonna get much better for a back-up. As K-Wall said on the website, he did have a good season. He won me over in that dead rubber game vs Sheffield

[5+game]

Im hoping that Gospel gets a bit of ice time this season.

Green is as good as he is going to get, but Gospel could learn alot from Kwal and is at that age where he can start to make the changes to his game to improve it if nurtured correctly

I've seen Gospel a few times, he looks good. I don't see Green improving much, give Gospel a go.

He played in a few dead rubbers

Final Challenge cup group game against Sheffield

2nd double header against Belfast

Last game of the season against Cardiff


For me, it's the signing we're always going to be the least excited about but it's one that needs to be made. Nice to see we're going with 3 again in order to develop.

That's the best way we're gonna sum it up. Welcome back Dan

2 of those weren't dead rubbers.

Anyway, I think Green's OK, which is as good as we're likely to get from an Elite League backup, just hope we don't see too much of him on the ice next year.

I still think we should give Tom Askey a call....


In all seriousness, he does an ok job. We dont promise him games and he knows his role which is often regarded as one of the toughest on a roster.

Good signing

I would honestly like to see another import net minder, crucial position, there will be a lot of games next season.

That's not a fact.

Do you not think your coach will look to do what Belfast did last season when Murphy got injured and bring in a replacement?

[panthersdave]

So how many import goalies would be prepared to start the season knowing they will be healthy scratch? - Lets not forget that the spare import goalie cant be on the bench wasting an import slot.

Or are we saying K-Wall will now be told he is sharing netminding duties with A N Other?

As for Green, he is available locally and is more experienced than the so far untried Gospel. You cant really pick and choose backups because they generally dont want to give up their current home and job/college etc for what is basically an unpaid job.

[pantherdman]

Giants got lucky with the timing and were able to bring zemlak straight in.

If we have a quality import on standby, i would be happy with that.
