"McGurty suspended for kneening" Que? That's the headline, let alone the text. Which, unusually, looks OK. What's wrong with that ? It's a penalty call, like slushing (covering someone in snow), cross cheeking (two willing combatants slapping each other), or triping (throwing offal at an opponent)

You did forget honking, though (doing an impression of a goose) and barding (quoting Shakespeare). Also, the seldom seen "elbowing" call, made for listening to Mancunian indie music while in possession of the puck.

I love your 'elbowing' btw. I'll be seeing them at the Arena later this year.

It's a penalty call, like slushing (covering someone in snow), cross cheeking (two willing combatants slapping each other), or triping (throwing offal at an opponent) Let's not forget: Bearding - for starting your facial hair too early before the playoff run. Sloshing - for overindulging the night before and still having 'drunk legs' in the game. (Not to be confused with 'coach legs' of course) Relay of the Game - for illegally sharing your streaming code of the POFW Toughing - for pretending to being willing to fight an opponent then turning tail when they drop the gloves Crossword-checking - a rare penalty called on referees who should be watching the game but are caught playing Wordle on their phone mid game And, finally two we definitely should have seen called last year... Contact to the Bed - for seducing another player's wife. *Cough* Belfast *Cough* Inference - for implying an opponents partner may not have been faithful to them. This penalty is often called as a supplemental to Contact to the Bed

‘spicking’ almost a swearword in itself. Verbal abuse within the’Stats and facts’ thread. Not to mention ‘asfieldpanther’s’ version of ‘Highspicking’ which must carry a game penalty for its use after magic mushroom involvement.

“Undeterred, the Panthers pulled one back through Otto Nieminen at 26:59 after Lindskoug spilled a Didrik Henbrandt into the slot.”
Lindskoug seemingly doesn’t have an alternative career waiting tables. 🤣

To be fair, that one's been troubling me. As has calling him Henrik Didbran(d)t.

22 December Manchester Storm have added non-homgrown (sic) player Zack Phillips. Storm have 1 non-homegrown roster place remaining and an overall roster of 23 players. 30 December Manchester Storm have added non-homgrown (sic) player Logan Flodell. Storm have 0 non-homegrown roster placers (sic) remaining and an overall roster of 24 players.
I suspect a "copy and paste from the last Storm transaction" error for the "homgrown" bit, but then how do you get an extra "r" in places? Good effort.

www.eliteleague.co.uk/You don't have to go far before you see glaring errors, that's unless you put the errors up yourself. Not even going to say what it is but front page news it is, at it's best. Coventry v Belfast. EMBARRASSING.

It's clunky, but it's not unusual, to say it in the sense of "got the best of (the opposition)"? I bested him at chess etc. But it definitely is clunky.

Last night at least 2 of the match reports had the Coventry/Belfast score shown on the thumbnail for the story, I assume that's what spik is referring to. It's disappeared now, which makes a change for an EIHL howler. They usually just leave them.

As you say, unusual for them to change. Mcgurty was still suspended for kneening, for example.

No, I referred to the former as ‘should have been beat’ and I still will put my money on that this is what was meant when written. But I will retract my condemnation of it given there is a 0.01 chance it was written correctly. But I will believe that it is pure luck this occasion and that the word never entered the mind.

Panthers need to read their own press releases www.panthers.co.uk/home/farley-departs-panthers-by-mutual-agreementThe Nottingham Panthers have parted company with forward Austin Farley by mutual agreement. We'd like to thank Austin for coming to the club at a difficult time and wish him all the best for the future. Earlier this evening, the Panthers announced the signing of forward Anthony Luciani who has joined the club until the end of the season. Farley, who will wear #88, will make his debut in tomorrow night's game against Glasgow Clan which is sponsored by Lincs Air Testing.

Looking for something else I just stumbled across this classic from December... "Coventry Blaze fought back from 4-0 down on the night to beat Belfast Giants and qualify for their first Challenge Cup Semi-Final *in 2014/15* with a 6-5 aggregate win in front of 4,438 fans at the SSE Arena." Do we think they've been using cut and paste on the reports since 2014? 😅 Reckon we can borrow the EIHL time machine? www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/3554-four-goal-comeback-puts-blaze-into-semi-finals

If that article was a dog I suspect the vet would offer to put it out of its misery, it's that riddled with issues and problems. My personal favourite is the Dr Whovian temporal paradox of... "Cardiff Devils and Guildford Flames meet a little under a week ago..."
