In terms of the new imports I believe it will be Graham that has recruited them. In terms of Brits and returnees I would think that he would have had some assistance from Pacha (though I don’t understand why this seen as bad thing) Regarding being a team others won’t want to play Thats just a cliché. It may have been his intention and the loss of Hunt probably didn’t help but sometimes you don’t get what you’re sold and some players aren’t what you expect. Come to think of though. When so much of the squad is brand new is it any real surprise that not all of them have hit the ground running? Just to be clear as it was myself who started this point of discussion, I dont believe it's a bad thing. Of course it isn't. It does however mean it's not as simple as just pointing the finger at GG for the short comings of this team. Hunt was a huge loss and makes a huge difference though. I dont believe the statement is a clichė and I dont believe GG was just saying it. A team that others are scared to play means at least having a bang bang line. I would've expected Hunt aswell as a 6ft 4in Power Forward type and perhaps slot them with a centre like Sorensen with a bit of an edge. I agree with you, adding Hunt on his own would not make us a team others would hate playing. The team would need at least a couple of big power forwards and some smaller gritty players + another physical Dman to do that. If we had those then losing Hunt would not of been as big a deal and we could still have been a physical team other teams would hate playing

You don’t believe all the cobblers they tell the fans do you ? GG said he was building a team that other teams wouldn’t want to come and play etc etc....Mmmmm where is it !

You only have to look across Trent Bridge for proof that bringing in a new squad of players with good pedigrees doesn't guarantee (immediate) success. It takes time for players to gel.

I had a brief chat with a British ex-Panthers player on Sunday and he was saying he couldn't understand the lack of hitting.
It should be a given as a d-man going into the corners to retrieve the puck that you're going to get hit but that's not the case when playing against us at the moment. The opposition have an easy ride knowing they're not going to get hit and it allows them to fully concentrate on making a play rather than worrying about getting hit.
