I think a lot of the Galbraith haters would do well to read Stef's post a few times. Then put your keyboards away. You have to re-sign Neilson after winning two trophies and you have to re-sign Jade after putting up the points he has done. To get rid and try to find someone to replace him would be a much bigger gamble than keeping him. My only issue with that is Scott Matzka scored more goals and had 1 less assist than Jade. Pelle scored 17 more points than Jade (both with more games played). Players who can score higher in this league are available out there both in the wider world and within our own league. No player is irreplaceable. There is too much what ifs in every aspect of this... I don't argue with the return of points that Jade has provided. BUT if he realizes that the name on the front is way more important than the one on the back, He could be the best player this league has known, The trouble is he has had his second chance and now 3rd. same results.

How useful are his 60 odd points, if his +/- is also -60 odd? The last reg season game I watched, not only was he on the ice for 3 goals against, but he was directly at fault for 2.
He's undoubtedly extremely talented, but from someone who loves playing sports, but has no discernible natural talent, it's extremely frustrating watching someone like JG, arguably wasting it....

He is replaceable for the team In the end it is down to the management resign him weak management in my opinion, dont resign him sending out a message that we are serious about going for the league in a more professional way!

Which must mean we were a perfectly balanced team. So what are we all arguing about?

Or is it only you that's allowed one? by the way changing someones quote is not a good idea! so before my nemesis jumps in with both feet, my problem was twofold galbraith haters, is a term set to ignite a discussion not improve it, and your insistence that because stef said something we should all take that as gospel is stopping others from having or expressing an opinion. everyone is entitled to an opinion you me, anyone even my nemesis!

It could have been anyone who said what Stef said. The point is that he was right.
If you think that saying 'Galbraith haters' is going to ignite a discussion then surely calling my comments 'useless' and 'stupid' isn't going to help matters?

If you think that saying 'Galbraith haters' is going to ignite a discussion then surely calling my comments 'useless' and 'stupid' isn't going to help matters? In yours and his opinion. Doesn't mean it's gospel. I for one agreed with a lot Stef points, but the one I don't see eye to eye on in his effort levels. Stef said if he went all out all the time he wouldn't be in our league. That's fine but I would rather have had one season out of him where he tore it up and we had a better chance at the league because of it. Even if it meant him movin onto better things in Europe, at least it would help the club more by giving us a better shot at the holy grail than giving us 3 seasons where he was at say 70%...

Oldman & Pantherfan007
You've already been told to give up on the personal little digs and stick to the topic... and you've both ignored that. No, don't even bother to trot out the usual little self-justifying excuses... we've heard them all before, and they'll be just as hollow and hypocritical as every time in the past.
This is the last public warning that either of you will get on this subject. The next one of you - or both, if you both do it before I check this thread again - who carries on with this, who tries any kind of niggle, or even trots out the old 'air of injured innocence' little snarky posts... gets a short break from the Cage. I don't want to lock the thread, because it's here for more people than just you two. So rather than inconvenience everyone else... it will be time to inconvenience those who are causing the problem.
Enough said, back to the topic.

Just seems that yours is aggressive and obnoxious. guess this one was ok then? no offence to the guy who wrote it, but what is your problem shaggy, never made it personal explained we are all entitled to an opinion. you just cannot wait to act on my posts. why is that? Good at rhetoric not good at hiding your clear prejudicial nature! Just In my opinion of course! Now can I get back to something that matters!
