Joe c

[Panthers Greeny]

Anyone else heard thta this is our new signing

[heja]

yeah heard he has already signed, along with a former cup winning panther and a former bracknell netminder (think he also played for manchester too at one point, as well as steelers for a few games

[darkenforcer]

Joe Cardarelli? I wouldn't mind seeing him back

[caddy27]

can only think of one manchester netminder who played for storm as well as steelers and that is grant sjerven and we dont want him wasnt very good.
And i can only think of one netminder for storm to play for bracknell as well and that was Mark Bernard.
Or was you talkin about phoenix and not storm?

[heja]

he might not of played for manchester i just think he did but yeah i think phoenix and not and import

[matt44]

Stevie Lyle?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[caddy27]

i do tell a lie forgot about mik torchia but last i heard he has retired.

maybe lol i'd take him, very good netty imo and a brit so can bring in another import

[caddy27]

Well i can only think of one netminder who played for phoenix and steelers and thats jayme platt, not good in my eyes.

[heja]

nah it was the storm he played for not phoenix

[caddy27]

stevie lyle yeah good netminder but not brilliant and never played for steelers. Played for storm bracknell and cardiff

[heja]

he did play for steelers when someone was injured a couple of yeats ago, (when platt was injured same time as Kudrna

[caddy27]

really what season was that?

[caddy27]

oh yeah just checked his profile and he did play three games, says he is in france this season playing for HC Morzine

[pantherfan]

Yeh Joe is signing for us is what I've been told, would have been Jinners except Sierre got to him first with a big contract till 2009!

[andyd]

If we sign Stevie Lyle I'll be delighted...I'll also go on and on about the fact I spent the whole summer saying we should sign him as first choice goalie and sign extra out skating imports!

[sonicyouth]

Looks like Joe C is almost confirmed. Didn't think he was that great for us last year and certainly no work horse HOWEVER he can finish and score on the re-bound which is exactly what we are missing, an out and out finisher... so I think he will fit into this years squad perfectly. We have enough workhorses (Simoes, McAslan etc.,) he can just stand there and finish the job off.


What worries me is we still don't have a centre of any description bar Myers, took a look at the ECHL Augusta Lynx page where Joe C is currently playing... the first line centre for that team is ex Cardiff Louis Goulet, now THAT would be a signing.

Heard a rumour of a certain Scandanavian from the 01/02 team who may have to have a new number should he come back...

[charlish2099]

good news if it comes true, maybe cote will follow

[NickThePanther44]

cant say im over the moon tbh

[Frodo]

Im not 100% convinced, only saw him for one season tho (last years).

However if he puts in a point a match and puts the puck in the net every other game id be happy. If he can do that you would have to consider swapping him for blaz was a gud move, especially with blaz's points column.

[Keyring]

I liked Cardarelli. He was alright, He certainly got some points and from what I remember didn't do MUCH wrong.. He's certainly going to be an improvement to Emersic this season.

The thing is although it is a rumour, it must be a pretty strong/good one, cuz there was a certain person missing from our bench on Sunday night, cuz he was in Bratislava watching the old #13!! He would be a quality signing imo!! Steady D man!!

As for Cardarelli, I think he'd be a good signing cuz he just scores goals, something we need, we've got the players who'll get the puck into the zone just need this guy to put them in the net!!

Also heard that we'd have a british goalie, but it wasn't Stevie Lyle I heard!!

[heja]

well the only other one i can think of is the nathan craze, but bracknell won't release him easily, and edinburgh won't realse murphy (it is him isn't it?)

[Thomas Elliott]

Heard it was one of the two you've mentioned!! Edinburgh might not want to realease him but if he don't wanna play there they have no choice really do they!!

[charlish2099]

Maybe Bracknell will swap craze for Lindsay or even Wooly? can i ask who the old #13 is, only been supporting for a year or so now so my knowledge is rubbish,lol
