Introducing the ECHL's new "fulls" season...which are apparently only 5 and a half games long each year: "Pouncy, also Canadian, heads to Dundee after two fulls seasons in the ECHL with Utah, notching 17 points over 11 games" Because apparently over at EIHL towers 45+68 = 11 rather than 111. I just hope the same guy isn't in charge of the league's finances 🙈😂 www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3256-two-more-added-to-stars-blue-line45+68=113? Good job I didn't apply for Commercial Manager then too! Lol But at least it answers the question: they lost focus and ran out of steam on the typing

"We wanted to build a team with experience, so we did not go with a young team this season and I do not think our league is built for that and we wanted some guys with experience, especially on our back end and he definitely fills that void. We wanted a defensive core that is going to be hard to play against, so guys with some size, who can move the puck up the ice to our forwards, skate with the puck and bring it out of our zone, so just guys who play a simple hockey game and that is what we have here." That's a lot of words for 2 sentences... Oh Heck, perhaps the website editor is a secret Trump fan...

When you go into the article with the game report, I can get in via that link after it.

This week at EIHL towers we have been mostly switching letters: "aiming to become only the second team *form* the Elite League to advance into the last 16." "also features new rules for powerplays which the Giants *trailed* last weekend in pre-season game" www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3266-keefe-sees-positives-and-negatives-in-new-chl-rulesFeedback score: B-. "You can do better than this. Simple proofreading errors again let down your work and make nonsense of otherwise okay sentences. This is a consistent flaw in you work and one you promised to address after last year's parent's evening. Some improvements but still work to do"

"...Head Coach Adam Keefe on the "two minutes means two minutes two" rule for minor penalties."
A superfluous "two", or a misplaced "too"?
I can't decide whether the EIHL website content person is dyslexic, well-meaning but error-prone, or just a wage thief. Articles look for all the world like they are written, then edited in a careless manner, leaving remnants of prior sentences strewn all over. Gonna be a long year...

“This season sees the introduction of the CHL's new format whereby the Giants will be play six different teams. After tonight, they had to defending champions Tappara tomorrow, …”
Will be play? Hadding to Tampere?
Shooting fish in a barrel. Rubbish.

Hadding to Tampere? Shooting fish in a barrel. Rubbish. It definitely is. See also: "Tonight's fixture against Lukko pits the Giants 2021 Liiga championship-winning club." And yes that's the whole sentence www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3265-friday-giants-in-finland-to-begin-chl-adventure

When the headline *previews* the games that start tonight... "Saturday: Devils ready for French double-header weekend" ... but the first sentence is written in the past tense: "Cardiff Devils *played* their second week of pre-season games this weekend with two home games against French opposition in the Gothiques d'Amiens." Errrrr, not yet they didn't. But don't worry you can still watch the live replay on the link provided: "The game will be streamed live here" And if you want some word salad about the opponents: "The Ligue Magnus outfit finished seventh the their regular season last year..." www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3264-saturday-devils-ready-for-french-double-header-weekend

Does no-one do any checking or proof reading? Let's hope not! 🤣

“Glasgow Clan avenged their home defeat to Belfast 24 hours earlier with a 3- win over the Giants in front of over 6,000 fans at the SSE Arena. Jake bolton slotted home at the back post before Quinn Preston's wrist shot cancelled out that go-ahead goal…”
Best not to edit the score out of a match report… Names conventionally have capital letters and the last idea is very clunky. Pretty standard fare, I’d say. 🤣

Paragraph 4 describing a 6-4 game the previous night: "After a 10-goal game in Manchester 24 hours earlier" So far so good. 10 goals scored so a fair description. Paragraph 5 begins: "Cardiff Devils and Sheffield Steelers played out another enthralling, one-goal game..." So presumably a 1-0 victory based on the articles internal logic? And the fact the previous night had been 1-0. Would make sense, right? Except it was a 4-3 overtime win they're describing... Come on. At least be consistent in the same article. A seven goal game or a 1 goal win. But never a 1 goal game after what you've said previously www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3293-sunday-s-pre-season-results

Retro jerseys to appear again this season , get your hand in your pockets again folks. For more information and to get a glimpse of last seasons choices go onto the OS. As they say ‘mark your calendars to get our those throwbacks…..’ in the article to just throw you once again. Or is it this weeks ‘spot the error’ competition back with us? What do they say? Deliberate error?

Can anyone else make the maths on this sentence add up?: "Storm are playing their third game of pre-season, having previously lost in Coventry, at home to Guidlford, and then on the road to the Flames on Sunday" So they are playing their third game, having already lost 1...+1...+1. Say what now??? I hope this guy doesn't do the league finances too! 😂 And that's ignoring the misspelled name of Guildford . This could be another looooooooooong season for this thread www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3295-wednesday-final-game-of-pre-season

I can only assume their computer has a lock down system when they have written and posted. Ie) can’t edit after. No other answer to it, less they can’t give a damn. Shameful.

Sounds like it all got a bit handbags in Dundee earlier from the game report: "The sides split 24 shouts in the opening period." "Ben Lake hit the Giants' equaliser at 36:05 while James Phelan sat a sashing minor." www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3304-giants-get-past-stars-in-final-periodCome on. A little less haste to press PUBLISH and this thread wouldn't be half so necessary. Or half so fun to be fair though...

"Clan found Shane Owen in excellent form in the visitors' net, and were left empty-handed despite throwing almost double the shots on the Flyers' net as on their own - 19-10 the count." Err, why were Clan throwing *any* shots on their own net?? 🤦🏽♂️😂 Makes Kielly's shutout twice was impressive, when you're having to keep out shots from your own team as well as the opposition 😂 I know what they're trying to say but it's not remotely what they did say. Again. www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3306-shutout-win-for-clan
