Am I a cynical idealist or an idealistic cynic?

Do you not think that considering the heat in the building and the heat of the player that if it were cramp it would be due to dehydration? It's highly likely that the heat leading to dehydration was at least part of the cause... but was it the only reason? It could have been a factor that exacerbated one or more other problems... none of which on their own would have been enough to take Miika out, but the combination being more than enough. Sometimes these things aren't that simple. Again, that's probably at least part of the answer... but it's well known that players can be 'economical with the truth' if it means getting back onto the ice quicker, and judging a person's fitness isn't an exact science anyway. Quite likely the club has dropped the ball on more than one occasion... as you say, they probably threw players back in too early at times. But to automatically assume that they are guilty is just as ridiculous as automatically assuming that they are innocent. Unfortunately the former seems to be a bit too common around here...

Someone knows how to use google 👍🏻 Actually, someone used to work for South East Coast Ambulance Service.

Unfortunately the former seems to be a bit too common around here... you can run tests to determine fitness levels, we've got links with Loughborough uni, we should be utilising that to the nth degree. we could have them run maximal tests and run blood lactate tests to find their thresholds, we could use Douglas bags also. there's so much sport science that isn't being worked with. even where i work we subject our performance squads to this kind of testing in blocks through the seasons. you'd think a professional sports club might want to do this. my view is that the club leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the sports science aspect of the sport.

Speaking of fitness, what happened to the guy we used from M10, Mark Coles?

That's highly unusual,it would normally have to come free like most other things in Panthers world,or it doesn't happen. Of course he would get the odd advertisement plug here and there though.
