Definitely and Roy, Nieminen and Neill should be top of that list as they will have no shortage of offers. Get them nailed down before anyone else comes knocking Isn't Neill at Uni? I don’t think so. I thought it was AJ on a uni deal

Time to lock this thread, I think as its been hijacked by those who post nothing when the team have been playing well but the minute reports (as opposed to seeing a game) of them playing badly (and they did) they are reaching for the keyboard and a moist towelette for the excitement of maligning the club............again.

Of course having a month off was going to lead to a heavy schedule down the line. Now a good CEO/GM would have seen that coming and done something about it….Like sign some extra players. But no,in Nottingham that’s not what happens,it’s obviously thinking that’s way too far out of the box for them ! 🙄 A month off? You for real? Well ok I’ll word it differently….not being able to play for a month. Either way,Pacha/Black were not forward thinking.

Cancel culture in full swing on the cage forum I see... Yes very sad times .. It certainly is. When I called you and Iggy the Chuckle Brothers I was censored. Whereas you are both free to get your trolling kicks. If you despise the organisation as much as you clearly do, I’m at a loss why you waste your energy on here.

Bet you don't get an answer for that (confirmed). Cant think why Iginla never hears back from the club.

I’m no big advocate for Pacha but to fair after the incident he brought in Farley and Despres. Also brought in Hazeldine for Tetlow when he was injured and since brought in Luciani and Pare. After that you couldn’t possibly foresee any injuries down the line we’d get and if we’re full strength then we’re carrying a spare forward and spare defenceman.

There's a big difference between calling out people on a public forum and talking about a underperforming team!

I’m not trolling I’m just giving my opinion. It’s a sad day if on a forum the only opinion allowed is if you’re saying nice things. That’s the clubs mantra,just like at Blacky’s Q+A sessions, you’re only allowed if your face fits and you ask nice easy questions without asking anything they might not like.

One spare import in Pare is not enough to justify the excuse that they’re tired. Every team is likely to suffer injuries and more so if you’ve got a condensed schedule. They should have brought in more or used IR but they never use IR for some reason.

I think we can all see why certain posters are here. And it's not about the ice hockey Feels a bit like when Paul Moran was suddenly icing for us as a 17yr old in the Superleague. As long as you've got the right connections I guess. I'm sure I'll probably get a ban for this ironically but it's not like these threads are ever about the games for long any more so not sure what I'd be missing in terms of a hockey fix...

Every team is likely to suffer injuries and more so if you’ve got a condensed schedule. They should have brought in more or used IR but they never use IR for some reason. So Hazeldine and Pare are spares then. Do you really need any more than that. One point I will agree with though is not making use of IR. Difficult to do with Tetlow or Betteridge being Brits but as soon as it was clear that Welsh was long term an IR replacement should have been brought in

How many spare imports do you want the club to have? All of them 😉 Though to be fair, Giants and Steelers have some big squads this year. Partly through injuries and it's not always been enough to stop them being short benched. One thing I will say, I once had a conversation with NB in January one season and he was expressing his frustration at being out of the running for the league title already. As he put it, and I'm paraphrasing "if we're in league contention before the deadline then bringing in new players makes sense financially". He likes winning the playoffs but it doesn't mean much in terms of the other titles to him as it's realistically only winning a handful of games once you've qualified to lift the title.

And like we all know, little will change until NB goes. GM, GD, OP, all come and go but the consistent is NB And I have to be honest when he said it it made perfect financial sense to me. And, on the flip side, when we were in contention we have brought in big players (Ling) and carried spares. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the team bought. Especially by the type of organisation Giants have but within the limits of his business view, not bringing in lots of extra players this year makes sense. Not least because I can't see anyone wanting to cut a player that was here that day in October

How many spare imports do you want the club to have? With the condensed schedule they faced,my opinion is they should have gone for three spare import skaters. Especially when taking into account they had lost both Tetlow and Betteridge for months. You can’t leave yourself short then complain about injuries or tiredness.

I don’t have any connections on here and I did get banned on here not long ago,for a week. And certain people trolled me about it too. Did I complain….No ! In fact I’ve been banned about three times over the years so I most certainly don’t receive any special treatment.

Straw poll: have I missed something or is a poster posting about the number of times they've been banned from the form for their behaviour, and saying they've had to be banned again recently, the best way to prove they're just here as a hockey fan? I think I've entered the Twilight Zone
Sorry guys there's much to be said about the game, the schedule, reinforcements etc but I'm out.
Have a good one people. Now to be an honorary Flames fan for the next 24hrs! Hoping for a Flames shut out and statement win 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
