"Want to improve the sporting integrity of the competition" seems to equal bending over backwards to ensure Belfast make the semis. lol, you typed that faster than me… exactly

Will be interesting to see how he does, and whether we've missed a trick. Good luck to him. Yup, If he does better than Stewart, fireworks. This will cause eruptions somewhere. Both coaches will be vying to win games between each other. What came first, the Coventry appointment or Nottingham's and I'm not talking about press releases. Who approached who etc.. Have a listen to the Podcast on the OS with Chris & Pacha, its a good one and listen out for little nuggets of info re signings and players already tied in. sounds like Pacha approached Danny some weeks back probably before the end of the season, I know Kevin was told he would have to apply for the HC role with us and it would be a drawn out process, that sort of intimated they had other ideas and were already chasing someone. He said at Playoffs he wanted a HC role as he wasnt sure how he would feel being assistant to someone he didnt really know. Cant fault him for the way he lead this team last season and for that will always be grateful. Good Luck Kevin you deserve the chance.

I personally think Pacha has lost the plot, so he’s turned down Corey who didn’t even get an interview and possibly got rid of the coach that held this team together last year. Totally underwhelmed after Pacha telling the fans at the awards they would be rewarded for their support last season. He’s obviously happy to let Pacha recruit the team because that’s where Corey came adrift. gobsmacked.

Otto made a point of saying how happy he and his family had been in Nottingham with everything and then committed himself to the club for another season within days. That doesn't sound much like he wasn't treated well to me I wondered about that too. Plus players have stayed for more than one season or come back more than once like Kowalski/Fox/Ling/Lepine/DAB/McAslan etc Cant be that bad with NB, can it? We're not talking about current and the last year or so, this was when Perlini then Lacho then Ollie left the first time. Since GM went and Pacha came in the backroom as become decidedly better. And those players you mentions were all imports, it was different for the Brits.

Yes he's been back a while, partner expecting a baby next month I believe. Would / could have been a good signing although after he left last time he said he would never come back after the way they (the Brits) were treated. you never know what to believe.

Forget Perlini he isn't coming here. He's signed somewhere in the EIHL but isn't saying where, apparently talks with a Panthers deal fell through when it went to NB. either that's true or he's using a smokescreen after saying too much to put us off the scent. Our bet is on either Sheffield as nearer to home for him or Belfast.

Im quite excited! Signings already!! Hoping it’s a coach, but will accept any news at this stage. Article said won’t have coaching announcement for a couple of weeks and the rumour page has just posted it’s Otto Let’s hope they don’t overlook Kevin Moore, the guy loves it here and he wants to stay.

Wife is from Notts, you’d hope the club are working really hard to secure his signature. Would love him back If he’s not back with us I’ll give you a good reason why. But he is signed to someone.

I think something will be done at Playoffs to commemorate Adam, rumours of a retirement by the league of No.47

After speaking to Jonathan at the awards night I would say he will not be back, the guy looked absolutely washed out. I think he may have a lot to consider. However I can see Kevin Moore staying . he loves it here and would like to stay but says no one has offered him a contract yet. I see Otto has left today, hope they’ve had words with him.

All the rumours Ive heard suggest we'd be lucky to see anybody back. Certainly from the imports. Yep heard exactly the same, I’d be very surprised to see any of them back. I would imagine the office is getting the flights etc sorted for the days after the awards night IF we don’t make the final 8

Well that was one hard fought game, couldn't see who was going to score first really as both teams were equal, Fife played us for the full 60 mins soo good on our guys especially being short benched, Defense was excellent. Onto Saturday to a Blaze teams that have been falling away for the last few weeks. And some good luck with those pipes. Can’t say they were short benched though, both teams had 19 players. Didn't realise they had shortages aswell, still no news on Neilsen & Neill?

Is this another catch up game? Otherwise someone’s planning this last couple of weeks has been dire.

We could offer a Uni Place If you listen to the BBC interview on Thursday's In the Game Otto was saying he's aiming for the Austrian league but did add despite everything that's happened this season this has been the happiest time in his career. Would be amazing if he stayed but as said before don’t think many of these are sticking around.

Otto’s goal tally is definitely a shining light in a miserable season. However for all the clamouring for his re-signing (hey I’m in that camp) I just can’t see it as he’s just adding value with each tuck. I think he’ll make himself too expensive for us or find himself in a better league. We could offer a Uni Place

Indeed yes. A Panthers team with apparently “no fuel left last night after two periods” despite not playing for a week,against a fresh Devils team who didn’t play last night. How’s that going to pan out,it doesn’t auger well. Wonder what tonight’s excuse will be,or will Panthers win and blow last nights excuse out of the water ? Let the negatives flow… Lol Bobs, I have posted pleased to be proved wrong, we're in Cardiff and the effort our guys put in was amazing, we definitely had them riled in the second period. Just such a shame we can't hold into these leads when we have then. After watching that I feel gutted for them.

So pleased to be proved wrong, a fantastic fight back after conceding 2 goals in the first two minutes. End to end stuff here, shame we couldn't hold but a point is better than nothing. We've had Cardiff on the ropes.

Playoffs have gone we are too many points behind now. As for another rebuild incoming expect the same again next year, Pacha only has soo much money to play with. You can’t fault the team for trying but being short benched has taken its toll, all gung-ho in the first period and knackered by mid second period. Can’t see a win tomorrow either but happy to be proved wrong.

I hear a rumour in the stands that Neill has a broken hand.? They are also waiting on Logan, from where we sat it looked like he also was wearing a black splint on his left hand. I’d be very surprised if we see any of this team back next season and that includes The coach and a lot of that is to do with Adam.
