Running back to daddy?
Strange, I thought he was very much against playing in an 'import heavy' EIHL, good to see he is a man of principles.

Shows up the Panthers ambitions,or should we say lack of them !
Better player than any of our import D,as a Brit if he was available Panthers should have made him an offer that trumped playing for daddy's team.

Useful for them in the short term, but doesn't sound like he'll hang around. We'll see I guess.

Whilst O'Connor has previously shown his number one concern is money, given this is suspected to be a brief stop in the UK (what with his strong opinions about the EIHL  ), I don't believe any amount of chucking cash about would have tempted him from signing with the Steelers. As an aside, would another 'temporary' player really be the thing Panthers need right now? Player with dubious principles signing with the Steelers, haven't we done this one already this season? |

He wouldn't have come to us no matter how much money we'd thrown at him. The idea of the son of the GM playing for your bitterest rivals is just ludicrous. It would never happen!!  Sorry, what? Paul Moran played for who??   |

Player with dubious principles signing with the Steelers, haven't we done this one already this season? And look how that is turning out so far. Mosienko has 5 goals/9 points in 7 games and is the hardest working and one of the most skilful players, whenever he is on the ice. |

It wasn't his own (lack of) effort he was betting on though, was it?

No it wasn't. I was just responding to 22s dig, by saying most (if not all) Steelers fans are very happy that Mosienko is playing for the Steelers.

Called it as soon as he became available.
Bet we didnt even put in an offer.
Congratulations Sheffield, I wish we could buy a league title one day.

Very lucky for us, but a perfect fit for both parties at this time.
We're short of bodies and could do with a short term replacement.
Ben loses his job and could do with somewhere to practice and earn some money whilst he looks for another job.
He now gets to spend some time with his family, earn some pocket money and finally play for the team he supported as a child.
I can't see this being long term, but it's come at the ideal time for us.
Regards
Doom

Paul Moran played for who? slightly different circumstances though - we cut Paul halfway through a season, Sheffield probably saw it as a major PR coup in signing the son of the GM of their biggest rivals. |

He played 16 games, 0 points and 22 pims - somehow i think O'Connor will have a bigger influence than that |

You did, in 2012/13 How did we "buy" the league in 2012/13?  How was our roster that season any different to Sheffield's, Belfast's, etc...we were just better. The times we've actually chucked money at the club (bringing in spares, etc) we've not done so well. |

I doubt many of the current fan base would have a clue about that article. Yes they spent well in excess of what they could afford ( Darren Brown did his time inside) but i tell you what this wasn't those players fault they came and did a job superb quality. A standard id love to see again. So when people rave up the likes of salters, lepine, Kwall etc I laugh. Shayne Mccosh earnt more that season than what panthers current ROSTER is earning! Let that sink in
