The slash from the bench needs to be raised to the right parties. Disgusting lack of sportsmanship from the Steelers. If it had been called on the night, what would be the penalty .... 2min minor, a penalty shot, game misconduct? I wouldn't have thought it would be a match penalty, in which case there is little point in raising it, is there?

Not being funny but if the contract is signed and paper work is ready he should be here. He shouldn't be allowed to stay home for Christmas and come over when he wants to. Don't see me ringing work like I've got plans I can't come in until December 30th. For a player like him,if they want him....he tells them when he's coming. But it's the 23rd December he arrives. /quote] Is his family coming with him at the same time Iginla?

Unfortunately MacMillan, forward lines are firing now so we should not mix it up and we've got better defencemen to come back than him BUT I think keeping him as spare is ideal in that he can play forward and defence, the club should sign a two way player spare every season I think With Clarke due to return and williams to come in, would you not touch any of the existing lines to fit those guys in?

www.panthers.co.uk/content/panthers-make-changes-rosterThe GMB Nottingham Panthers have responded to the recent run of poor domestic results and have made changes to the roster. In comes new defenceman six feet seven inch former NHL first round draft pick, 35-year-old Slovakian Kristian Kudroc. Leaving the club will be Czech forward Petr Kalus who was in his second stint with the Panthers. Things have moved very quickly in recent hours. A club spokeswoman said: “Obviously the results have not been good, everyone knows it, the coach knows it, the players know it. Head Coach Corey Neilson, along with everyone in the organisation loves Petr to bits, he’s a great guy. We wish him well and we thank him for everything. “It wasn’t a decision taken lightly but it was a decision aimed at helping to improve the club. We’ve already got more imports that we’re allowed to ice in any one game, guys will be coming back from the treatment room and there will still be competition for places. “Other guys are knocking on the door to join the Panthers too. As the coach says, we all have aspirations to do better than recent results suggest, we can and we will get better.”

www.coventryblaze.co.uk/news/blaze-resurrect-two-way-selby-deal-with-wildcats-20161104Blaze resurrect two-way Selby deal with Wildcats Genting Casino Coventry Blaze can confirm that they have resurrected the two-way agreement with the Swindon Wildcats of the English Premier League for British player Matt Selby. 21-year-old Selby, who recently made his 150th appearance for Coventry will continue to train with the Blaze, with Head Coach Danny Stewart having first call on his services. A product of the Blaze junior system, Selby has made 17 appearances for Blaze so far this season. Where appropriate, the 6’0” forward and equally adapt defenceman will now also ice for the Swindon Wildcats, where he spent last season too, gaining additional ice-time and experience to aid his continuing development. Blaze Head Coach Danny Stewart said, “We believe this will benefit Matt Selby in his development for the future. He will continue to train with us every day and be used in games we feel he will get more ice. He will still be a member of the Coventry Blaze. What this does is allow him to play more minutes in more situations and reap the benefits of both situations. We will have total control of when we need him or when he plays in Swindon which was the only way we would consider this.”

www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/murrayfield-ice-rink-under-threat-from-hotel-development-plan-1-4270385Murrayfield ice rink under threat from hotel development plan Murrayfield Luxury hotel plans and homes unveiled for Murrayfield site Developer ‘ready with £500m’ to rival SRU plans for hotel Ice rink, home to the Edinburgh Capitals, couid be demolished and moved elsewhere Have your say MAJOR plans have been unveiled to bulldoze Murrayfield Ice Rink to make way for an ultra-luxury hotel, flats and a care home. Developers bankrolled by two companies based in the US and London want to construct a host of new facilities on land beside Murrayfield Stadium – at a cost of more than £500 million. But ice rink bosses said there was “no deal with anybody on the table”, and told the Evening News: “We don’t see ourselves going anywhere in the near future.” And the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) own much of the land in question, meaning work on site could not go ahead without their approval. Rugby chiefs are currently advancing their own plans to build a hotel on land adjacent to Murrayfield Stadium’s main entrance off Roseburn Street, diagonally opposite the tram stop. Early-stage blueprints for the new hotel and flats at the ice rink were lodged with the council this week by developer Murrayfield 2020. The company is fronted by Edinburgh solicitor David Johnson and Rick Finc Associates, with an unnamed Florida-based firm, London-based business and “reputable house builder” also said to be on board. Its plans – which would border the Water of Leith – include a luxury hotel, serviced apartments and flats, as well as a care home and the “relocation and improvement” of the nearby doctors surgery. Developers also promise to either refurbish or demolish the ice rink – replacing it with a world-class facility nearby or elsewhere in the city. A Murrayfield 2020 spokesman said: “The development will be an exemplar of urban design and create a world-class destination bringing economic, social and environmental benefits to the Capital.“ Flooding of Murrayfield in 2003 and the subsequent public inquiry, together with the property crash, stopped previous redevelopment plans but the company believes that the climate is right for new investment with a range of development partners. “With flood prevention measures now almost complete, the way is clear to deliver what residents and fans can enjoy as a huge improvement to facilities and a sympathetic improvement of use on this long neglected but highly accessible site.” It is understood much of the land Murrayfield 2020 want to build on is owned by the SRU, while the ice rink and curling club own the plots their buildings stand on. Miller Developments also has an option on the SRU land, and would need to be consulted before any construction went ahead. Murrayfield 2020 said the SRU had “to date declined to be involved in a wider opportunity to masterplan a development at Murrayfield, which is believed to be driven by its existing contractual arrangements with Miller Developments”. But a spokesman added: “However, the SRU has already relocated Edinburgh Rugby and given notice to quit to Murrayfield Wanderers RFC, thus opening the way for redevelopment of some rear pitches and creating the opportunity for a capital receipt in the future. “In addition [the] SRU wishes to progress with its own hotel development adjacent to the tram stop. As a consequence, Murrayfield 2020 has decided to progress immediately with a more limited development proposal, particularly as the curling rink badly needs an upgrade to European standards. “Fans of the ice rink, especially the ice hockey fans, should be looking forward to a new or refurbished facility that meets modern standards.” Developers said more details would be revealed at a public consultation set to be held later this year. They aim to submit a full planning application in the spring. But the proposals have caused widespread confusion among those currently using the land. Richard Stirling, managing director of the ice rink, insisted there was “no deal with anybody on the table”. He said: “I think someone’s got some highfalutin ideas about what they can do with the site here, and has submitted a plan. “In the past, there’s been all kinds of rumours about plans for new-builds and a new ice rink and all the rest of it. But all these things never came to fruition.” He said the directors of the ice rink would not agree to sell it without another facility being in place elsewhere in the city. He added: “Never say never, but until somebody comes and speaks and signs a piece of paper, there’s nothing there. I think there’s maybe a double bluff here.” Curling club manager Douglas Baxter said he did not understand how the plans could “progress realistically” due to the three landowners involved. He added: “I don’t know exactly what their plans are but we are having a board meeting tonight.“ However, we don’t see ourselves going anywhere in the near future, whatever plans Murrayfield 2020 has.” Scott Neil, co-owner of ice hockey team Edinburgh Capitals, was also in the dark. He said: “Whilst there have been a few attempts to get the site developed in the past, I don’t think as far as I know that there’s anything imminent. It’s completely out of the blue.” But he expressed support for the idea of a new ice rink – something the club has been considering for some time. He added: “I’ve grown up playing in this building. I love the old building. But I don’t think a refurbishment would be a step forward. “In the longer term, Edinburgh needs a new facility that’s fit for modern-day sports entertainment. But I’ve got no real conception of what’s being proposed here.” It is understood Murrayfield 2020 is seeking talks with the city council within the next three weeks regarding potentially relocating the ice rink. A spokesman for the SRU said: “We have received correspondence from Murrayfield 2020 Ltd and will review any subsequent updates on their proposals when they are released.” Read more at: www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/murrayfield-ice-rink-under-threat-from-hotel-development-plan-1-4270385

From what I've seen from the continental cup, the refs can make it near on impossible to beat the opposition, so absolutely nothing is guaranteed here.

Unless I have missed something. The Elite have Manchester in the Cup table as having TWO PS loses BEFORE our game last night. I calculate it being TWO AFTER our win last night. Let me know if I have anything wrong guys. I agree with you spikc though I think it is the previous cup/league game against storm that they have missing off the eihl os. So it should remain at 2 ps losses once that is corrected.

Off topic from tonights game, but has anyone noticed that the league haven't given us the two challenge cup points from when we played the Storm when it counted for league and cup points, I'm just wondering why? Software issues, they say, due to the doubled up game. Rather pathetic, in my opinion. A week ago the said they were working on it.

Personally, I think I would prefer us to invest in a spare import. It could be a waste if no imports are injured/ill, but I think i'd rather have the quality on stand-by than a npl-er just to make up the bodies.
