Very happy with this signing. No point pretending it's anything but good.
But if that's Farmer getting excited, hate to see him miserabke

They'll both do well in France but I'm glad to see the back of both to be honest!

Remember that Clarkey will be injured for 50% of the season. Would help shake up some of ours too if they could be sat a game. You're quite right. We will get Brits injured,that's why I'd take Ferrara. It's got to make sense to ditch Dan Green and go for the young goalie. I liked that young kid at Edinburgh who played a game against Panthers last year,can't remember his name though. I believe it was Mallinson

Somebody we would be interested in? He'd be very handy on the fourth line as he's got the experience and I never thought he looked out of place in Sheffield

A Brit lad taking the oppositions top enforcer to the box for 10? Winner winner chicken dinner. Is he any good at running the net minder? I would like to see us run a b team in the EPL full of the top young brits and a few spare imports. The EPL that's been disbanded?

I will update the title once announced. Tetley? Do we have a new sponsor too? Hahah sorry the autocorrect function on my phone is wreaking havoc!

Corey may not to be everyone's taste but if these kids are willing to learn, then he has a good chance of turning them into pure Elite players. Being a full time member of this team at their ages will only help them and with the EPL gone, I imagine we'll see a few more like this to come through.

We've always asked for a big monster stay at home d man. Looks like he's it with some development. Both are solid additions and hopefully can come good for years to come. Let's just hope they get ice time

When we've been to NHL games, we've used stub hub which is secure and an easy way to do things. Admittedly never used it for a Canadian team but we used it to watch the Rangers vs Maple Leafs at MSG a couple of years ago no problems!

I'm going to put possibly a bit of a controversial point out there: there was a perceived view that with an increase in import levels, that Brits would struggle to hold down places in the Elite League and GB would suffer. But for me, the standard of GB has increased massively in recent years in correlation with the import increase. I feel we are leaving players out now who years ago, would have walked into GB no questions. Is this because we are putting them against players of a higher standard week in week out and they have had to sink or swim?

This does make the league title as relevant as the Presidents trophy in the NHL. However, the playoff format means that that trophy is pretty pointless to win so we're essentially playing for the conference trophy and a challenge cup.
I getwe need to make a sustainable league but we also need to make it competitive. This just stacks the chips in Braeheads favour and actually could lead to one of the "southern" teams putting on a title bid that isn't really theirs to go for.
Willing to give it a season to see how it goes but I'm not sure

Swindlehurst is doing a good job at the back. I also think Lacho is playing well, doing the role his coach wants him to play. I've not really noticed Duggan so far. I've not noticed Duggan either tbh!

Whenever I watch GB, I always think Dowd is head and shoulders the best player out there.

Maybe with it being 3 games a day for a whole week, Nottingham was never a possibility. Unlike other arenas, there are other ice sports that require the main pad at times. I don't know really but clearly Belfast could afford to lose it With the size of todays crowds in Belfast we could have had some of the games in the NIC second rink ! 😂 Lol Well yes that is true! I dread to think what the none GB crowds are like!

Any web-casts or commentary available? I believe it is on premier sports and if you buy the month online, you'll be able to watch all the games via there. Check www.premierplayer.tvIt is on a monthly subscription so remember to cancel after if you don't want it
