Needs to be good with only 3 import D. I hope Matheson can still play 40 minutes a game. I think we’re going with 4 import D aren’t we? We picked up Tetlow and Garside, then Stenton will probably be 7th dman. Says on the story it completes our defence, so I guess it's just 6.

But there’s loads of things we would like but can’t afford, unfortunately that’s life. You can’t go to the cinema if you can’t afford it, what’s the difference. Very true, but can't people also come on here and say why? It's not moaning it's stating their case. People ARE saying they won't pay because they can't afford it. It's great that a family can see it as saving watching one game together, single persons can't. In the light of the £13 a game perhaps folks mentioning this point may realise that a lower cost would have retained these fans, just saying.

Looks like Stenton and Tetlow are going to be relied upon then, it’ll be interesting to see how they do.

Currently Blaze have 7dmen listed,3 of which are imports. Storm have 6,one import ( Ehrhardt). Steelers have 6dmen, 3imports plus the Jones brothers and Phillips.

Is anybody interested in this mini series, got 4 post on Matherson top 3 elite league D men, 12 for Kevin Domingue, most of that was agreeing/disagreeing if he's another Darcy Murphy, then Panthers sign another Uni guy Dominic Talbot-Tassi, number of post nil Guys like wannabe2 on The Inferno trying to put a bit of a positive spine on getting knocked back, not sure if many fans are that interested. I wonder if its that fans aren't interested, or they just don't post here anymore. I know that's why I haven't until now. We know what every thread will be before we start, the same few posters will post and we all know before we read it what they're going to say.

When you factor in transport costs and what people spend at the venue etc, it works out a lot less. However, people especially those on furlough, have less available income to spend. It will be interesting to see how many people stop going when the league gets back to normality, especially long time attendees who have broken the habit of going to matches, and will re-evaluate whether it's time to do something else with their Saturday nights.

New signing to be announced 6pm.
'2pm in Quebec' so plenty of speculation that it's likely to be a French-Canadian.
The only Quebec-born player in the Norwegian league is 38 year old Christian Larrivée, I'd be surprised if he was to arrivé in Nottingham. Gui Lepine is from Montreal, Mathieu Tousignant is also a Quebec native.
If you're a REALLY big fan of reading well into things, forward Pierre-Olivier Morin is from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, he's playing in the Danish league which has been a source of players for the Elite Series AND he currently plays for Aalborg Pirates. There is a pirate GIF on the Twitter post.
All will be revealed I'm sure.

This one is Quebecois. I guess we've been robbed of a Peruvian defenseman.

It appears that all the D shoot left. Is that unusual/an issue?

They are taught that from a young age. As are cricketers. If you are right handed but shoot/bat left handed you are leading with your stronger side which is the ideal.

Interesting stuff. ( Apparently, I naturally picked up a cricket bat left handed as a very young child and then switched after a bit). I was just pondering on whether hardly ever/never having a right hand shot on point in regular play is a disadvantage.

If you are right handed but shoot/bat left handed you are leading with your stronger side which is the ideal. I don’t understand that. Surely the power comes from your bottom hand which for a right hander would be your right. So you should be shooting right ?

More importantly accuracy and control comes from the top hand so you want your best hand on top. The % of NHL players are 'lefty' yet only 10-15% of the population are left handed.

I played good standard cricket for 40 odd years but I could never bat left handed. I might hit it but it wouldn’t go very far.

Which is kind of my point.

Looks to me like Stenton shoots left...according to EP and simply when you google search and see the images. So all D men as lefties, strangely unbalanced...we shall see how it pans out

It’s going to be interesting to see how it works out.

Sorry Jord, I’ve played cricket all my life and never heard of right handed players being “taught” to bat left handed. As is evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of cricketers are right handed. I’m right handed and can barely hold a bat left handed at all. Im pretty sure that the stats don’t back this up either. Less than 20% of cricketers bat left handed, which given 15% or so are actually left handed to start with, that’s not too many being “converted”. Around 5% of the 80%? The phenomenon is much, much more prevalent in hockey.
