That's a really really sneaky move,kept that bloody quiet didn't they. Undoubtedly a Panthers decision as it wouldn't affect the arena whatever the ticket price. Panthers pay a flat fee for the arena hire so it makes no difference to the NIC whether it was £10 or £40 a ticket. That's probably just put another £20k a season into Panthers coffers. Poor show Panthers management. Why is it a poor show? Surely this is the time of year to be doing these of things. With average attendances now well over 5k I think this is the right move. It definitely beats an overall increase. I've actually always been surprised that blocks 4/6/14/16 aren't classed as gold also, the view from these block is excellent. There's no concession in gold, so some people would be in for some hefty price increases if he upgraded those other blocks.

I would bet,if they ever get here,he doesn't say that about the two Russians and Bussieres. And Derlago should want to get on the bloody ice himself with his teammates....poor show ! #lackof commitment

I'd rather he had a week's training before he gets game time.
Obviously ideally that week would've been this one, but still.

How many players have got off the plane straight on the ice and played a blinder? Quite a number. Although for a number of those it was their best game and they were tosh after that. (cough Tyler Larter)

I can see the Derlago situation both ways.
Hes here and hes employed by Panthers so he should be playing in games to get match fit and ready for CHL/EIHL
however, these are just pre-season games and they are not the only games we have scheduled, so he'd probably be better off getting a full weeks training in, then playing 2 pre-season games next weekend which will get him up to match sharpness, along with another weeks practice after that before CHL starts.
I'm definitely one who thinks they should have all been here for Monday, however so long as theyve had at least a full weeks training along with a couple of pre-season games then thats better than most years!
not quite sure where i stand with this final signing though.... zero pre-season....zero friendlies....hmmm

(cough Tyler Larter) I think it'd be different mid season, or even if this weekend was the last week of friendlies before the CHL, but I don't really see a huge amount to gain at this stage. Let the guys who have practiced together do their stuff and integrate Derlago next week, and hope the others can join him sooner rather than later.

Why on earth play him in a friendly for the sake of it. 95% of the players that have flown in and jumped straight in have done so for competitive games. Give him time to get up to speed and play the following weekend is absoloutly the right thing to do with still a few weeks before a competitive game(almost a month before our first league game). No point risking a guy pre season what so ever.

Phillips will have had a couple of days training by Saturday, it's clearly not the same thing.

Hotham who arrived Thur/Fri for Devils isn't playing this weekend, Lord/Kelman want to let him settle back in before playing him.

Settle in...he's been in Cardiff about three years ! 😳 Moran and Kelman will have done a deal,in order we don't get spanked by too many in front of our own fans. You know that pair are as thick as thieves these days ! Bet Hotham would be playing if we had our full roster. #dealdone

Wouldn't want to get beat in front of their own fans now would they ! He's just spending Saturday acclimatising to the altitude,having a walk around town and making sure he's all nice and settled. 🙄
