.......Or is this just Moran's way to tell the players to pick up their game......NOW!!? Think it will be Jade, he really brings nothing to the club. As for Parley, hard to judge him fairly with such a poor D, then again you cant keep a netminder who gives up such soft goals so Id give him the boot! As for the D, it does need to be more stable, Danny keeps getting the recognition for playing well, but sometimes he is just clearing up his own mess. You know what, your spot on there. Meyers is great positionally and his skating is fantastic but with the puck on his stick he is shockingly bad at the moment. He either passes it (never tape to tape to our guy) or carries it and gives it away in the offensive zone. Its rarely a solid pass to a guy or a shot which causes anything other than a turnover. Id like to see Neilson give up on forcing him to make plays happen. If he just did what he is good at and we had guys making plays happen for him, our D would be a lot more stable. As for making changes, there is always room for improvement. I dont think 2 MOM performances this weekend from JG would have won round the majority of supporters. |

Rich .... Meyers is incredibly bad at positioning , his skating is his only plus point.
He was all over the place on saturday night, hes trying to be Jono Weaver but fails miserably.

Galbraith and Ndur to go for me.
We've got enough fire power this year to have room for a checking forward in the Simoes mould (pity we didn't have space for him when he was here...) and I think that is just what we need. Interesting points on here about Cook, but a big hitter in for Galbraith, or to a lesser extent, Cook would be good (and maybe stop teams skating in to the O-zone, heads down, like its rec hockey! (Hit somebody!)
Has anyone noticed that doesn't happen so much when Levers is back checking because he's happy to throw himself about mid-ice... pity he's not 6ft and 200lbs!
And a stay at home D man like Nelson/Rees. There's enough fighting ability (Bergin and Richo) and enough size (Coach Corey) to cope without an out and out enforcer in this league.

i think parley could be the one to be as neilson is giving him a chance by trying to help him out with this goalie coach, but if it does not work, he will be on his way
galbraith wont be cut jsut yet, he starting to make some great passes and is starting to score points

galbraith wont be cut jsut yet, he starting to make some great passes and is starting to score points Start? He has 19. Yes that 'may' not be good enough, but i think he has serious talent. 'Some' of his passing has been excellent and i believe the best is yet to come. In my opinion it is the systems that are failing at the moment, and Corey needs to address that. I dont think cutting Galbraith is the answer. |

put them all on 2 weeks . i could say you could bring in a tess like player but you allready have him . so do you sacrifice toughness in ndur for a better d man or do you geta hard working forward for galbraith which i think is what you need someone to go into the corners and win the puck as bergin does for clarke .or do you get rid of both  its quite funny how 4-5 weeks things change the boot was on the other foot then , i suppose thats hockey |

Galbraith replaced by another import d man makes us a much stronger team. oh and a new goalie please |

Getting rid of Ndur would be a huge mistake, we missed when he sat out his penalties on Saturday and we miss him when he doesn't ice. He's a huge deterrent to other teams knuckle draggers and though not fast he's good positionally and plays to his strengths.

He's a huge deterrent to other teams knuckle draggers and though not fast he's good positionally and plays to his strengths. As you say Mark, we missed him when he was sitting out his penalties on Saturday, and because our defence is not deep in experience and numbers, we have problems trying to cover the guy when he's in the box - 16 minutes on Saturday + 2 goals conceded in that time, and 110 minutes in 19 games - 22% of the total team PIMs. FWIW, I've absolutely nothing against Rumun, he's just playing the role he is asked to by the Coach. I just think it was a bad call to pick a D-man enforcer in the first place, as it's much more difficult to back-fill their position, and it has a knock-on fatigue with the other D-men, which in turn costs us more goals. |

The determining factor in that decision was that Ruman is been paid hardly anything at all due to the fact we were the only team willing to take a chance on him. We got an enforcer for peanuts enabling Corey to spend the money on our "TEAM HOLLYWOOD" forward line. If we ditch Ruman in order to bring in another import the standard of that import wont be great because the budget wont allow it. |

we dont need a forward, we dont need to get rid of Rumun and we dont need to get rid of parley
we just need to gas a forward and bring in another steady D man who will play a solid game at the back, and we have to stop playing the kids so much, Look at the cardiff game, the young brits didn't even get on the ice, only meyers, Myers and Clarke had regular ice time and we dominated from start to finish
you have to play the top players more, one because they are been paid alot to do so and two because if you dont they never have a chance to get into the game and mark there mark on it

wasnt it the kids who scored against geneva? other than that yes get rid of a forward you know my choice, then james ferrera upfront and another quality dman then rumans pens will not hurt us so much as well.
Got to say i think a number of rumans pens are based on reputation rather than what he actually did as with the farcical 2+2 against the giants!

the farcical 2+2 against the giants! you mean the attempted stick lift that caught him square in the face? the one where the ref went over to see if there was blood and then penalised accordingly? just checking... |

Interesting quote by Kevin Bergin a couple of Eye's ago, which should inform this thread:
"In all honesty, it is great when Rumun is in the line-up as the rest of us all grow an extra two inches".
