Thought so. That was a bit cocky from Corey at only 5-1 up wasn't it ! All the goalies have struggled with the heat in the big pad and Miika was looking really jaded by the end of the second. It was the absolute right decision and I did criticise the choice to do it against Braehead and Cov

What I'm finding encouraging is Lacho's upturn to start the pre season/campaign. In Coventry he was moving to dangerous areas once more and from what's been said he's been getting stuck in over in France and it's paying off. Hopefully this is inly the beginning and he can start the upward climb this season and notch some goals. Obviously it's early doors but this could give him the boost he needs to get back to his previous form. Encouraging indeed from Lacho. Let's hope he carries it on when we start playing rough,tough,hard hitting league hockey again though. In Corey's words about pre season games........."guys are just trying not to get injured and nobody's hitting anybody" !

He has demonstrated in the past that he has bags of talent. The last few seasons he has been woeful and deserved all the stick he has had(well almost all). I don't blame anyone for suggesting he should be gassed. I've hammered him plenty myself. It's easy to think people just dont loke the guy. However i'm sure everybody would like to see the promising signs from pre season manifest as a rerurn to his best during the upcoming season. Fingers crossed

Fingers crossed If Lacho returned to his former self that would be huge for us. Along with Farmer also.

Lacho and Farmer have been excellent. For that matter, the whole team has looked good through these games. In 9 periods with Miika in net, we have conceded 3 goals I believe. If our defence continues to be this stingy, I'll be very happy!

Maybe Lacho has a stiff neck and is finding it difficult to look over his shoulder all the time?

Wiikman has only conceded 1! Shut Kassel out and gave up 1 to Amiens before Green let 2 in.
Defence has been quite good, very mobile and steady. Lee has been impressive surprisingly!
We're making solid progress and we look very good. Quebec will be the test of the offseason but with the players so tired it might not be the best representation as Quebec are exceptionally physical and quick. Very good team.

Losing 4-2, Miika had to be helped off the ice. Don't know whether it's an injury or dehydration apparently.

My 9 year old just looked down the tunnel and said he can see Miika with a big bandage on his leg.

At what point did Wiikman exit proceedings?

Just another reminder, Wiikmans career high for games played in one season is 43 (equalled last season). Another reason I'm fearful for the season ahead.

Does anyone reckon we might suddenly be in the market for a euro nettie?
Mika is a bit of a conundrum. When fit he is head and sholders above every keeper in the league. But he does clearly have an injury problem. Thats the exact reason we didnt keep kwall because we couldnt trust him to stay fit. Corey might need to go to Black and ask for some more funds. Because it would seem a good idea to carry a spare import nettie at this point.

If it's an injury that will sideline him for the start of the season and may keep him out for weeks then we need to find a replacement ASAP.
No way can we start the season with Green in goal*
*Apologies if that means I'm not a 'true fan'.

Agreed. Can't start with Dan. Need to wait and see what the extent of Miika's injury is of course (didn't sound too clever), but need to get a Euro in quick if he's going to miss time. Can't muck about with that position.

No let's not wait.......because we all know what will happen ! It happened more than once with Kwall and it happened again with Wiikman,get another import signed NOW !!

Sure, the club will sign a new goalie a couple of hours after Wiikman gets an injury, which at this current time, hasn't been released to media or maybe even fully identified.

Wiikman being injured would be very bad green cannot even cope as back up he would have a horrendous time as our goalie for a string of games. We are already missing a big uncertainty replaced player in cam and seem no closer to a signing. With wiikman out as well our season could be over before October. Green is going to be lit up game in game out!

We had this problem last season, "let's wait and see on Miika" 6 games later they look for a replacement after trying him in games only to be replaced by Green. That's what ended our season.
If Miika is injured we need to be looking for a replacement. Not wait and see, sorry but it doesn't work.

This is the massive downside with green yeah he us cheap but so would be sticking in a fan who would probably do it for free. Problem is when we actually need to call on our back up he isn't capable of doing the job. Send miika for scans if he isn't gonna be fit for the first game need to get a replacement!
