I wouldn't be suprised to see it happen. In most places goalies are used to fighting for places. They start as number 1 but if they dip and someone comes in and does a good job they know they have to wait their turn & vise versa. It is nothing like the norm here and I'm sure other minor leagues are similar but there will be goalies out there prepared to do it. Complete guess work on my part, but I got the impression Madalora would be happy to be back next year and have a similar role to this past season. Genuinely interesting. Obviously I completely disagree & think it would be a big step & potentially fascinating statement for a team in the EIHL to do this. Budget wise it's an unrealistic proposition & a pretty silly move. But.... The only thing that makes sense over such a venture is the sheer amount of games that are played in our league compared to some similar repped Euro leagues. From that point of view it does make perfect sense. Still can't see it happening though. It happened every season for every team in the ISL. Panthers averaged probably just under 4,000 then, compared to well over 5,000 now.

Like Sheffield who spent far tooooo much,whilst being run by dodgy owners. We didn't see Panthers going bust and that was on crowds of 1500 less than they get now. Mr Black is laughing all the way to the bank at present,if we wanted to we could easily afford to carry a second import netminder. As for not being able to get a decent one prepared to sit on the bench,that's utter rubbish,there are hundreds of them around the world doing exactly that at other teams !

Few comments doubting his fitness but you need to really take a step back. You are going off of one season of injury, which we managed incorrectly. He isn't a brittle goalie by any stretch, we failed to treat the injury properly and put him back in too early. He's come up perfect in two cup finals, how many other goalies have we had that have posted 100% SVP in cup finals? Glad he's back, he shows commitment and an undying will to win.

So why hasn't any team done it in years then?
Import level?

If Panther's had Madolora from the start of Wiikmans injury do you think the league outcome would have been different?

If we had Madalora from the start,plus the rock solid defence that we ended up with,you know the one all but Neilson thought we should have.....yes we would have won it. Panthers threw last years league title away,by the usual penny pinching and stupid decisions.

Having Swindlehurst at a later date will be a very good addition but he's got a lot of development to get through, uses his size well just needs that edge. Lee needs to be played as he started with us, steady stay at home dman with physicality. Oakford was, imo our best dman through January onwards the guy kept things very simple. Lee and Oakford with 4 imports on D next season will do us good, we need to carry a spare forward and a spare on D if we want to seriously challenge.
