Have to say Mosey has been something else this competition, better than when he left us. Fabulous pass to Myers to score our 4th goal, now leading 4-0. Also Lacho has played really well for the whole completion Pete Russell certainly knows where and how to play him. Soo nice to see the team play soo well despite not training together very much.

That comment was very surprising being as NB at the Q&A stated that all the Brits were signed into multi year deals along with Spang who we didn't know about , Brown on the uni deal and McGrattan on a supposedly 2 yr deal.

It wouldn't surprise me if Brown was thinking about not coming back. Hasn't seemed happy here during the latter parts of the season and has already gone home. Gone home to watch his brother play in the Stanley Cup for the first time.

Can't see him doing that being as they all went on holiday to Ibiza together at the end of the season, Larry , Brian, Dimmen, Schultz and Macca. Macca's not coming back either.

He also looks like a leader, judging by his 'A's and 'C's I'm going to say he's going to the Blaze although he's played with a fair few players in this league previously especially 11/12 season. Pietrus and Stewy both know him.

Don't forget the Uni guys are still here until around June. Worrying if Larry is still around tho'...lol Wouldn't surprise me if Lawrence has been offered a contract for next season. Neilson thinks the sun... To put it politely shines out of his posterior and he can do no wrong. If he is/ was/ has been offered a contract for next season I'd be hugely disappointed but not surprised as Neilson based last season's team around him (in terms of forwards anyhow) Lawrence is also injury prone (as is Waugh) which goes against Neil Blacks vision for next year's team ( which is another story) he is also far from young and hungry (except for booze) and his off ice antics are not exactly a secret. But then if we didn't re-sign him a certain pub may not renew their sponsorship and we can't have that now can we? I'm hoping this rumour be not true especially as I've just renewed my season ticket. If he has re-signed i will certainly make my opinion known to him on game night if he decides to 'coast' which given the last 3 seasons will be more or less every game. If Carter is also returning we may as well all give up on the league now...... And while I'm having a rant who would want to pay £150 for his play off Jersey...? Still different strokes for different folks. I wouldnt even pay the £85 minimum bid. £10 is more like it... I suppose it depends on whether he signed up for 2 yrs or 1 yr with a possible 2nd abit like Carter I know the club didn't mention him as a two yr deal but when do they actually tell you anything look at Schmidt last yr. Rumour has it that Corey has been dragged over the coals big time this year over Larry so if NB has anything to do with it he won't be here, abit like Kwall and Wiikman. (Not Corey's decision). let's also see if the one's contracted to two yrs actually stay , especially when one of them has run ins with a certain GM

Rumour that all exit interviews have taken place but two players are hanging around and possibly being given new contracts! Lawrence and Waugh! Thoughts?? Don't forget the Uni guys are still here until around June. Worrying if Larry is still around tho'...lol

Miika's brother has heard Bakala is going to the Allsvenskan. The 'rumour' to the EIHL is simply our fans seeing his contract has ended, knowing he was an EIHL player previously and putting 2 and 2 together and getting 7. He also said that Miika didn't have a say in whether he wanted to return next season either, and neither did Corey. Black is standing by his word regarding players with injury history. Which also goes against what he said about having nothing to do with the team. He held the purse strings last year and the same again this year, whether we want someone or not the final say goes to NB who probably doesn't know a lot about the hockey being as he couldn't remember some of our players names and whether they were coming back or not. He does know whats going on he said " previously we have signed top end guys that have a bit of injury history as we tend to get them a bit cheaper" and then said he would be looking at the injury history this season as it hasn't paid off.

Just listened to the McGrattan interview and everything mentioned is in the past tense so makes you wonder if he is actually coming back. Soo many of our players turn down a second year when they've had a season of GM on their case. Those that stick it out just roll their eyes when you mention him. Don't sound too good for Miika either at the moment. Looks like Miika is a goner. Always a fan of his to be honest. Unfortunatly similar to Schultz and some others. Great on his day but not reliable enough because of fitness. As ever with any player that leaves it's a case of wait and see who their replacement is, especially with the Nettie. Will be happy enough(Still sad to see Miika go) if we upgrade. Bakala would do just nicely. Maybe its Miika that's had a rethink and not the other way round. Every injury just takes that bit longer to recover from, perhaps the incident in Sheffield was just the hair that broke the camels back...

Panthers give a lot of freebies out, annoying sometimes as a season ticket holder or when we have to pay for the extra cup matches. One match a couple of months ago they gave out over 800. I sat next to someone at Sheffield who said she came to the games regularly but had never paid for one ticket as she was an NHS employee.

Got an awful feeling Shuff are going to take this. Hopefully I'm wrong but it's Sod's law. Giants always seem to croak it.

I'm sure both have never done anything illegal.... Just sit down to have a nice relaxing coke or similar once in a while.... And rather a lot of alcohol...... Coke? Interesting choice of 'soft drink' Im not saying things like this don't happen but its getting tiresome all these accusations without any proof and I don't just mean the instagram photos lets see some photographic evidence of these so called 'coke' drinks, after hours drinking etc as your obviously there taking notes.

Only things I've known McGrattan to do is go to Manchester and Liverpool a few times, as well as spending time after recent games with the guys from Monster Truck. If McGrattan is in the crap then god help Lawrence and MacMillan. I'm sure both have never done anything illegal.... Just sit down to have a nice relaxing coke or similar once in a while.... And rather a lot of alcohol...... Your very interested in the drinking culture of certain players, I'm assuming you have seen all of this and the so called antics.. after hours drinking, lock-ins? Either your in there with them or your outside peering through the windows of a certain establishment every night of the week stalking them? I'm just surprised you have never filmed any of this and put it on social media to back up your claims.

We'll have to see about McGratten, 2yr means nothing look at what Cam did. Doesn't get on with GM (surprise surprise) apparently and has had several run ins with him regarding off ice activities. Carter's parents said he was on a 2yr deal now whether that was one year with an optional two I don't know but he is looking at going back to France where he had two very good seasons. Spanger needs a few less minutes and a decent partner, he could turn his fortunes abit like Schmit did. Wouldnt surprise me if the off ice activities in question are connected to the drinking culture deeply embedded within the club which Moran & Neilson at least tolerate or turn a blind eye to. I said when McGrattan signed it wouldn't work with him and Lawrence on the same team..... And it hasn't... This has been a car crash of a season. And a car crash of a roster The signs for this was there way back in May last year long before McGrattan signed..... Nothing to do with the drinking it's to do with Brian and what he does , you have to remember GM likes ultimate control, can't have anyone doing their own thing..

Doesn't get on with GM (surprise surprise) So Moran thinks he is of greater importance to this club than a multi season NHL'er and top level enforcer. Who also chips in with more than his fair share of goals. The man never ceases to amaze. Of course he does, he's a hockey God, no one knows more than Gary. Ask any of the seasoned Brits and a couple of the long term imports and they just roll their eyes and shake their heads. We will never get anyone who wants to run this club with no interference while GM is here. The best we can hope for is a new buyer.

That wouldn't surprise me either, cos no one wants to come here and work for GM & NB. No wonder half the players we always want to keep turn us down after the first year. You'll soon tell when you see if McGratten comes back.

Spang and Brown definitely returning - just chatted to Spang in Nottingham McGrattan said he signed at 2 year deal when he came too. Spang would be good with a defensive d-man partner I think. A lot of talk about Carter eyeing a move back to France. Best thing for him. We'll have to see about McGratten, 2yr means nothing look at what Cam did.

We just aren't good enough. Nowhere near enough shots on goal, Williams invisible, Larry invisible, Schultz totally invisible. You can't play one period of hockey and expect to win. I'd have gassed a forward to have Pacl in nets.
