Absolutely no kneeing motion from Olsen, the inept refs have panicked and made another incorrect call, I don’t know how people can believe that refs don’t cost games.
This rumour about Guptill doesn’t make sense, at this level every player has flaws, his is the defensive side of the game. But you don’t release your top goal scorer because of if, that’s just daft. You put players with him that compliment him, I think that’s what Rich should be trying to do.

Just heard a rumour Guptill is done. Gassed or quit I dont know. This actually makes some sense. He's a glory player who does very lttle defensively. I don’t care if he does nothing defensively as long as he is scoring goals which he is. The rest of the team aren’t scoring goals and if it’s because they are doing the “defensive work” then something is wrong. I really hope he hasn’t gone.

Or maybe it's just another rumour with no merit at all. Rich's issue with the forwards appears to be not carrying out instruction & defensive work. From that point of view I can understand Guptil being under the spotlight.

We’ve only got 13 imports tonight Pidge so surely Guptill must be either injured or gone. We have 16 imports in total and we’re missing Rheault,Henderson and Guptill. Well I ll tell you now it will be a huge mistake letting him go. If he wants to leave that's different. It would IF he stays in the EIHL yep.

Yes sorry, I was just thinking aloud as to why we would release him, he has flaws to his game that’s all I was pointing out.

That’s like saying we should have gassed Ling when we won the league because he doesn’t back check. Makes no sense at all, Guptill is a quality forward. I hope he stays.

Ling was a playmaker & focal point who made others better, looking at ya Bruce Graham. Guptil is a sniper type with a ridiculous wrist shot.

When we signed him we didn’t expect a defensive forward we expected a power forward who would get points.

He was a top goal scorer but I can’t remember him being a top defensive forward?

Guptill is a top point scorer and a star player for us so far.

Panthers take 2 from 6 whilst Devils take 4 from 4. Not good enough, glad we won but the weekend as a whole has been terrible.
I can see more changes coming, going to be a tough week of training ahead I'd imagine.
