Given how well Pacha/Black handled the aftermath of what happened, the way in which they’ve handled our return to competitive action has been poor What would you have liked to see them do? What could they have changed? Well we’ve signed what is essentially a passenger in Farley but my main issue is the complete lack of cover signed, everyone knew how difficult it would be to get back to form after what happened but making them play shorthanded makes a tough job even harder and of the 9 games we’ve played since our return we’ve been at full strength for 3 of them

What would you have liked to see them do? What could they have changed? Not signed other 4 foot forward that brings absolutely nothing to the team. Was a great chance to bring a nasty power forward in You keep saying the term “power forward,” so who exactly should they have signed? I whole heartedly agree Farley hasn’t worked out, yet it’s very easy to browse the hockey db & pick a player who’d you personally like to add to the roster.

Indeed. Who exactly? I mean we all want to sign a 6’4, 220lb, quick, mobile, winger who can play in all positions, kill penalties, play on the PP and who can put up 100 points and 200PIMs including 20 fights. And who will play for EIHL money. And who is looking for a new team.
World’s full of them. Every EIHL team has 4, of course. There’s bound to be one spare somewhere.
Given the horrific trauma this team and staff has been through, it’s a wonder they’re even on the ice. All should keep that in mind.

Lee Salters, Colt King, Jeff Szwez

You’ve simply reiterated what Tom continually says: “Panthers could sign X Y Z.” It doesn’t mean those players are available or willing to come mid-season.

Other teams are picking up players easily enough. Look how effective Phillips was last night compared to Farley. Giants pick up players for fun and I don't believe that old pony that players aren't available. Other teams seem to do it easily enough

And if we’d have signed ZP this place would have gone bonkers

Won’t say much more though, as your hatred for the club is unreal

Due to the delay to factor in the world championships in 2024 The season started weekend of 23rd sept… 15 days is a stretch to say “well into the season”

And a very “power forward” 8 PIMs. Caruso has more than that. 🤣 He was a lot of use to them vs Steelers last night.

Obviously we don’t know what happened in Cardiff, but someone like Stefan Fournier was a power forward I wanted us to sign for ages, obviously he’s more recent than the aforementioned Colt King etc…looking further back I really like Desbiens as another example.

Power forwards are out there,it’s just that some people will clutch at any excuse to not admit it. If you want certain players though you should go after them in the off season.

So your “15 days” wasn’t stretching it was it ! 🤣

Depends on your definition of a few weeks. In my book it is,it’s hardly moons ago or off season. I shall have to be more careful and use words like “mid season signing” in future just in case somebody wants to be be more concerned with wording than whether a point was proved.

A the 8th of October - simultaneously both 'just a few weeks ago' and then later also 'well into the season' when it suits better. That's Simmsy level twisting.

If it wasn't the fact your word choices were you trying to prove a point (in fact trying to prove two separate points) nobody would have given it a thought. Next.
