Let's see how many games ON the ice he gets now. Or is he 1st choice and Brian Wilson the cover? I thought this was a continuation of the musical theme I referred to earlier, but the other nm really is named Brian Wilson ! God only knows why I thought that..

Condolences to his family, friends and all at the Blaze. A sad loss.

rather reminds me of the first season in the arena. Inconsistent form throughout the season, but then we signed a couple of players and they started playing well at home, plus the occasional away win, gave us a chance going into the final game at Newcastle. Is there a Swedish dman we can draft in for the last game just in case ? I think whatever happens, the players who stayed deserve a good hand after the final game.

Could leeds do like Sheffield, play big games at the large arena and others at their existing rink ?

Perhaps Newcastle's Saudi owners will back a team, bringing in ex NHL players. Within the wage cap of course.

Haven't we got a back up goalie in the comms box ?

I assume that PR was riled up about the fact that one of the refs clearly waved the goal off, but they then had a huddle, and without looking at any video, overturned the call. Or possibly the fact that the video of the incident was replayed on the screens while they were all in the huddle, which I think is more than a bit naughty. It certainly got the crowd's dander up. I'm not sure that incidents like this ought to be replayed to all and sundry over and over while the decision is being debated by the officials? Couldn't PR have requested a coaches review ?

Spose if someone has paid to sponsor the game,they could probably name Paws as MoM if they wanted to. Although, if u are watching the game from a box u do get a different perspective on the action. It's harder to pick out individuals, so the player that sticks out the most is the goalie.

If you watch the video of the gwg from behind, just as the shot comes there is a raised stick in front of the goal, possibly Josh Batch, but definitely a Cardiff stick. The ref might have thought that the puck took a deflection on it's way to the net, and that the stick belonged to the Panthers player battling in front of goal and that it was this stick that the puck made contact with. Hence, washout for the high stick. The other officials must have said 'no stick contact or no high stick' so good goal, cue meltdown. Poor show from PR, have a rant but don't put your team on the back foot when they need a goal. Once he got the 2min he thought he try to get it upgraded to a 10 or game, which he managed but they kept the original 2

That’s some positive news with regards to Lemay. Surely we should give McKenzie a chance on the 4th line today so we can actually run 4 lines? the problem with a new and inexperienced Brit is that they are ok 'going forward' when they only have to shovel the puck into a corner and chase, but in their own zone they can be aa liability, head forever on a swivel looking for where to be. You can see Logan was taught back home, as soon as he enters his own zone he's either in a zone or picking up a man. Hopkins was good as well just not strong enough.

Well Coventry have just announced a new signing today so whatever the rules are it’s still seemingly possible that players can still be brought in coventryblaze.co.uk/hartje-adds-depth-to-blaze-blue-line/'injury' replacement. no doubting this is genuine but it wouldn't be difficult to abuse the rule.

It's a difficult one, the team leading the Slovakian League, or the team bottom of the Elite league. looks like he made the wrong choice '27-year-old striker Peter Bates has signed a contract with HK Poprad until the end of the current season'.

Still chairman of the fanclub, eh Iggy? A couple of second places and almost every POFW playing golf. What might have been... Think what Finnerty is disappointed in is the level of performance, not the results. Storm play a certain way,an in your face style of hockey especially at home where the rink is compact. He feels they haven't been doing that. What he said in public is probably only half of what he said in the dressing room.

Thats the way Finner is. It's his way or the freeway. It wouldn't work at some teams but him and Storm are a good fit. I'm glad we aren't going there on Wednesday.

Why are Panthers 'on-the-road'in Fife, and not just plain and simple, on the road ?

Decision made on thursday and Panthers were informed. Looks worse than what it was, not as bad as Shannon Hope on Chris Kelland in the early 90s which drew blood. Lots of it. What would DOPS have made of that one ?
