Down two players, played a tough game last night but that doesn’t excuse soft turnovers that lead to quick goals. Plenty to work on and address, but at least it was only a cup game tonight. I hope Pacha is still looking at improving this team with another addition or two though Certainly conceding 6 a game in open play is not a habit that is good to get into. Just have to say that Manchester is a very well put together team but our team is very small, as in "light-weight". Take out the netminders and Tetlow and even then it's not about how tall players are, it's how physical they are on the ice and the Panthers are definitely not a physical team at the moment. I'm still scratching my head that after all these years they are STILL looking for fast and skillful and get it wrong so many times

I'm still scratching my head that after all these years they are STILL looking for fast and skillful and get it wrong so many times Storm have crertainly been quick out of the blocks, but it's hard to tell that much until everyone's played 10 games or so. Who would think that Blaze would be the scoring-est team just now?

Isn't that 18 non-homegrown now and two spaces? Think wgray was referring to the fact that they've currently got 17 imports rostered, so are essentially "carrying" two extra in case of injuries/rotation when they can only ice 15 per game. You are correct that they've signed 18 in total (they've released one D already after the recent signings of Murphy and Morrow) so only have two slots left for signings, but think wgray was making a slightly different point spik : that by "carrying" two extra imports (at least for now) they appear to be serious about staying competitive by never being a body short on game day. Got it. Trying to keep up with it all. Didn't even know about the 'leaver' after the two new boys in Murphy and Morrow.
