Giants with a 1-0 overtime victory in the CHL against Salzburg, Tedesco with about 4 seconds to play. Keeps their slim hopes alive with 1 (?) to play.

Giants with a 1-0 overtime victory in the CHL against Salzburg, Tedesco with about 4 seconds to play. Keeps their slim hopes alive with 1 (?) to play. Not a game that will live long in the memory. Both sides wasted numerous pp chances, Salzburg in particular looked poor offensively considering the level of some of their imports. Giants deserved the win but it will take a big effort to take points against Pardubice, who sit 8th in the table, next week. Edited - Giants at home, some IH sites use the American format of away team first.

Aren't they at home next week? That's a positive, however small.

Just read the above and felt it was important to explain the facts as I was reading some speculation. Jake Ryczek's housing issue had nothing to do with Dan Green. It was simply the discovery of terrible mould in the property that had been painted over. The club acted quickly and after a few nights in a hotel, Jake and his housemate were able to move into new accommodation. I've thought hard about continuing this particular comment, because as far as I'm concerned what happens 'behind the scenes' should stay there. I'm really only interested in what happens at 7pm on a Saturday, 4pm on a Sunday and 730pm midweek. However, as the club has chosen to comment on this forum about the point raised, i think it's only fair to ask this: although Dan Green isn't responsible for painting the walls of the accommodation, wouldn't it have made sense to carry out a final inspection of the properties used for player accommodation shortly before the players arrived, so that any issues could have been rectified before the player arrived. Or is that what happened, as it reads like it was only discovered by Jake himself.

You say you only care about 7pm on Saturdays and 4pm on Sundays but what happens off the ice impacts what happens at those times.. unhappy player = substandard performances .. happy player = good performances.. see Forest

Inspecting the place prior to someone moving in should be standard practice I would of thought, obviously not in this case.

It should only affect his judgement on whether it's a worthwhile place to return to in future.

I’m assuming that Panthers rent places for players rather than own properties?
That being the case, I’d say the letting agents and landlords are responsible to ensure safe and clean accommodation. It’s literally what you are paying then for.
Never let an opportunity go by to slag off the club though. Perhaps we need to appoint a RICS qualified surveyor to visit every possible property before occupation?

I wish I had never commented as it has led to yet more accusations! I came on to try and clear-up a matter that had not been properly explained. This was causing people to speculate, leading to incorrect assumptions being made and that wasn't fair on the people involved.
Awooga is correct, the Panthers do rent places from landlords for properties. Every property is inspected either by Dan or someone else who works on that side of the business.
In this instance, they had no way of seeing or realising the mould was there as it was hidden from view and was discovered by chance. As soon as it became clear there was a problem, it was acted on and the situation is now gladly resolved.

Sometimes people can't do right for doing wrong. Sounds like a "hidden" (literally as well as figuratively) issue came unexpectedly and suddenly to light, and the club acted quickly and decisively, in the best interests of the player(s) concerned. That's a good thing, yes?

Chris has since explained to me the situation. It's not panthers and Dan Green fault. Panthers have acted to sort the situation with the landlord. I did say it wants sorting as the problem will arise in the future . Mould/damp never disappears that I do know easy to rectify if it's a relative new build, a older build will require more work

Moving on, who's caught your eye so far amongst other teams' players? Have to say, I do like the look of Quinn Preston in Belfast. He'll score a lot of points this year.

Without sounding patronising, Chris has explained the circumstances very clearly and I think the club have dealt with the issue as they saw appropriate.

As soon as it became clear there was a problem, it was acted on and the situation is now gladly resolved. I think it was important clarification(s) to make. Jake Ryczek pointed out there'd been an issue with mould, but didn't go into the full detail (fair enough). Someone had asked the question was this Dan's/the Club's failure. You then clarify that it was concealed by painting over the mould (not surprising as many unscrupulous landlords are liable to try this as it's cheaper then actually fixing things) and that this was all fixed with the letting agents. It might have taken an extra post because of some confusion over inspections, etc..., but I think it is a positive ending highlighting a prompt fix to an unexpected issue.

You can’t win but I appreciate the honesty

There have been some appalling kits before in this league, but that might take the title as worst.

'It's a banger', says Manger of Ginats merchandise stall. 'Pe0ple buy one, then 10 minutes l@ter they're back wanting anoth3r'."

Couple of quick goals for Manchester reeling the Steelers in, looked to be cruising at 3-0.
Guildford manage a non-first period goal but trail Cardiff by plenty.
Fife with a lead against Belfast in the second. Perhaps enjoyed one stein too many last night...
