No change there then, enforcer or not.

Just worried we haven't got that physical element. Without an enforcer I'm concerned that the physical teams will take advantage. I have yet to hear people saying to not sign an enforcer and go for a sniper explain how we would deal with Fitzgerald? Cannot really see anything we have to deal with it, I mean farmer? He wouldn't stand a chance in a fight with the heavy weights

We'll cope without the enforcer for the time being, if they're signed sharpish then they could be in for the first Sheffield game in theory. It's not a good position to be in but it's in the process of being sorted. Only one person to blame, it's not Corey, GM or the Club.. It's Janssen. Not for his reasons but for his exceptionally laid back approach in informing us.

Turtle and draw the Excessive Roughness penalty That worked well 2 seasons ago. No enforcer. A team completly lacking confidence. 0 trophies. O.k not the only reason for no trophies, but it was clear for all to see we lacked somebody to stick up for the team & the team got bullied. As for the penalties we drew.....Didn't do us any favours in achieving results.

If we don't sign an enforcer we're going to get bullied & subsequently taken apart. It's bloody obvious.

I'll be optimistic & go for March 12th.
Season hasn't started & it's already a farce mate.

My money is on early October ! If they aren't signed by the end of August then that's practiaclly a given! 3-4 weeks on the Visa if it goes through without issue. Enforcers won't stop injuries though, they'll prevent cheap shots but not injuries. Never have and never will. I'm not particularly happy with how things are but it means more icetime for Betteridge and i know it's not the same but you can't argue that he doesn't deserve a shot.

Betteridge has a permanent slot on a line, we'll have 12 forwards once the enforcer is signed

Would anyone like to see us sign a guy like Lepine and move lindhargen up front for the season? It would give our back end abit more balance i feel. Just to point out i dont think we will do this was just asking.

But who?

I'm not particularly happy with how things are but it means more icetime for Betteridge and i know it's not the same but you can't argue that he doesn't deserve a shot. Feels like i am singling ypu out but im not just got a couple of issues with this... IMHO it doesnt mean more ice time for betteridge it means more than likely double shifting one of the imports which as we all know leads to even more missing players with more injuries. IT ALSO MEANS SEEMINGLY MORE IMPORTANT TO THE PANTHERS TO SAVE A SHED LOAD OF MONEY ON WHAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR MOST EXPENSIVE IMPORTS. As for betteridge i like him as a player but he is a young kid i personally would rather sign someone like levers to give us a fighting chance of probably getting 4 lines and i do like the idea of a big no nonsense defenceman who can also stick up for the team, think this wouls add alot more balance something that at the moment does seem a little unbalanced... I would also like a sniper too but i guess thats wishful thinking now...

Before that we'll be told that Corey is waiting (several weeks too long) for just the right guy to fit seamlessly into the squad, and then when Mr Right arrives we'll be told how he has been on Corey's radar for years but only now have we been able to get him. Mr Right will be delighted at signing with us as he has heard so much brilliant stuff about the Panthers. There may also be some unfinished business chucked in at some point. Go Panthers PR!!

As a Panthers fan I feel quite gullible to be honest as that's just how it will happen and has done for years. Can just imagine the Steelers fans going for that year after year.

He will also be a first class human being,have a high hockey IQ and will have "heard nothing but good things about the city,the fans and the organisation". And then after two games......we will find out what his injury is ! Lol

How many imports are you guys short for tonight's Blaze game. 3 3 guys short but on the website it's been classed as a "full GMB panthers roster" The mathematical wizardry of Gary 'the moron' Moran strikes again! What I'd give for a new GM

Tonight we should play Lindhagen on forward and see what he can offer to see if we can't broaden our search with the final import so either a d man (Lepine) or a forward
