Credit where it's due sounds like the D and the whole team put in a great shift. Unfortunately performances like that will convince the powers that be that there isn't a problem and thus nothing will be done to solve it. 1 point gained from a good defensive performance cannot get back 2 points lost at the Skydome last week where the defensive frailties were clear to see.
Still a pretty decent three point weekend, it's just imperative it's followed up at home now we have a run of four straight at the NIC. Anything less than 6 points would be very disappointing considering we then play 9 of the next 10 away from the NIC.

As I understand it from what Miika said a couple of weeks ago his wife is here in Nottingham. If that's the case then one game is the maximum he should miss on the day it's born,he isn't the one having the baby. Jesus it's not as if these guys can't already spend 20 hours a day with the missus if they wanted to,all they do is nip to the rink for a couple of hours training in a morning and play one away game each week. The other 90% of the week he can be there right next to her side. These guys need to appreciate what the normal working guy does all week,he doesn't get to spend anywhere near the same amount of time with the better half as a hockey player does !!!!! Spot on

If true we should never have signed him in the first place. you sign a starting netminder in this league to play every night (barring injury of course)offering paternity leave is a joke and certainly show what the panthers think of winning at any cost. Isn't that technically illegal and discriminating? Couldn't care less what other teams do. I want the panthers to have the best possible chance of winning every game and if we had the choice of a player that needs to miss time and a player that doesn't then I know which one I would be signing. Wouldn't you sign the best possible player? What if the other people that were interested weren't close to Miika's ability? Should we sign them because they don't have a pregnant wife? Your acting as if Miika is the greatest netminder in the world. We would have been looking at loads of goalies some better some worse so if I had the choice I would go with one that doesn't need to miss time for none hockey related reasons. I also wouldn't have waited as long as we did for Linger either I would have had someone else in the lineup from the start but hey ho what do I know.

That's completely speculation though, they don't just nip to the rink for session. They have fitness work which from what i understand isn't just half an hour on the bike. This sport is obviously physically demanding and do you really think they just have a few hours a day? Most of their time revolves around the sport they play as most professional players in any sport would say. Granted it's nothing like in NA where they'll be on the road for a couple weeks. However i do agree with the actual reasoning, if he's having a child great give him the few days but a couple weeks i think is a bit unnecessary considering the distance between teams and such.

You're acting as though every player in the world wants to come and play in the EIHL and for us!? It's swings and roundabouts. Out of the options that Corey had, how do we know if there was anyone better? How do we know any of them are worse etc?

I wish I hadn't mentioned the paternity leave now.. I only mentioned it to speculate who would come in as Conway covered Kwalls paternity. These things happen and we will manage, but preferably with a good short term replacement.

It's also a worry to hear that Miiika will have a chunk of time off in Jan on Paternity leave when him and his wife welcome their new baby, hope to hell we have an import nettle lined up to cover him. Rumour quashed by his dad on FB. He will not be taking more than a couple of days off all being well with the delivery. Family is arriving from Finland to help out.
