Quote from Jordanooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - "[Amaze huh? Crikey....
My stance on this is entirely down to what I believe to be unjustified criticism of a player. I would have had Lawrence back, with our roster this season he'd score 40 goals easily. " end quote:-
Yes - but for a player of Lawrence's undoubted ability I would hope for a lot more - as has been said numerous times, "on his day he was good, it was just those days were few and far between" - we now appear to have a team where everyone give their best every match, so why sign a player who in the past has proven that he cannot or will not do that? do not take the chance

Great start we were relentless on the forecheck and created great chances it could have been a cricket score! Felt bad for Steeart getting hung out to dry by a very poor Coventry D and their forwards created very little, the British power play was a pleasure to watch and gives the imports a breather and it created a goal! Shultz and Bohmbach again impressed, Farmers assist for Bohmbach's second goal was a thing of beauty, and Macmillan showed he can handle himself, I was sat in block 2 for the second and third period and the fight was great, Macmillan ate a few but the when he get his arm free just unloaded and put Nobke down, pity we didn't get to see Janssen ruin him but was nice to see Cam skate over to the box to check Macmillan was alright after his fight. There's an enjoyable buzz around this team and we've still got Ling to com in, Waugh to come back iand potentially another D man.

The ridicule Lawrence received was & still is absolutely ridiculous. IF we are to lose tonight I hope he scores the winner & then skates round with a loud speaker calling out the names of all the posters on here who are overly critical of him. This is the Lawrence who has a grand total of one assist since he joined the Blaze! I would have been really upset if he had come back to the Panthers, he continually missed sitters, took a terrible penalty shot and spent half the time looking completely uninterested and de-motivated.

Was never a Lawrence fan, but he pulled a couple of nice moves last night and hit the pipework. To me he actually looked liked the only Coventry player who would score, though doesn't say a lot for them atm!

Can't see the attendance posted for last nights game, it looked poor tbh and I guess the rugby and the fare impacted things. The Fife match is not looking much better though but the Shuff match looks like it's headed for a sell out. Hopefully a great performance that night will see things pick up attendance wise as this team is a million times better to watch than last season.

You have to remember G that everyone there paid for a ticket. That wasn't on the season ticket and for that reason plus the England match and Goosefair Id say the attendance was very good.

Amaze huh? Crikey.... My stance on this is entirely down to what I believe to be unjustified criticism of a player. I would have had Lawrence back, with our roster this season he'd score 40 goals easily. And that is why you are not a hockey coach, if you want to be successful you avoid players like Lawrence like the plague How do you know I'm not a hockey coach?

Yet he keeps getting paid for playing. Remarkable. Just because someone is paid for a job does not mean they are any good. Why do teams keep hiring him then?

Maybe if they played us a few times last year they would have seen for themselves & made their own mind up.
Just a long shot that, obviously.

like graham last year wasn't to great but with ling he was a boss
but he is playing/played for 2 EIHL teams and he wasn't that good at either and also he was brought in to us as a second line centre and ended up being our top point scorer he might have been better of with someone like Kolnik or Moran than with a grinder like Greg Jacina but now he has got players to work with at Coventry people are still shouting to give him the sack

Maybe if he was on a better squad he would be inspired to try more.
I accept I'm grasping at this one a little. He's had a real rough deal in two seasons here imo.

He's been on two poor rosters. On the right line he has proven point production.
I feel he gets a real rough deal round here.
Anyway time to move on. Nice debate chap.
