If Matt has hit a fan, and I stress here, if....or even tried, then I'd sack him on the spot tonight! I can't stress this based on what's being said here, I have no reason to say he did, or didn't, as I wasn't able to get the webcast tonight. I love watching the guy, but this is Ice Hockey, and the players, and the antics should stay on the ice, the minute is strays into fans etc, that's a step too far for me, and he'd have to go. Would it mean playing the season a guy down, yes it would, but suspect Mr Hanson will find his glasses again in the morning, and is probably having a good nights sleep waiting to chuck the book at him anyway. If we was wearing a Panthers top....well who know's, but for us, he'll be hammered regardless I suspect. Season ends tonight sadly, I can't see how the guys can lift themselves after what is yet another capitulation by the sounds of it. Shame really, as the team had built up good momentum of sorts, but for me, it went wrong at the end of the 2nd against Caps, we started twiddling with lines, lost momentum, and it's not been good viewing since. Season could very well end, the way it started....badly! Roll on the 76th season :-) he has to stay to get his beard shaved off.. |

Based on tonight's performance,Fulton,Haines and Lukacevic would be the only imports I'd bring back. Roehl looks uninterested, a like nickerson but maybe it's time the flyers manned up a bit and got a dirty player. Every other team seems to niggle after the play but flyers don't. The arguments saying the referees are against the flyers is absolute c***,we know there bad we should learn! Our defence isn't mobile enough apart from Haines,dacostas slow and attacks far too often. If we're going to sign an enforcing defenseman we need a stay at home one not and offensive minded one like Nickerson.

Flyers don't niggle after the play? Are u joking? Lukacevic Roehl Fulton dacosta and Nickerson are it every game. You are right about the D tho, none of them can skate like the 3 we had last year. Far too slow.

You honestly think Flyers players don't niggle after the play (Jordan Fulton??) and that Nickerson is an offensive defenceman? |

Not running goalies and actually taking penalties. Were always taking retaliation penalties never seems to be the other team. And yes I do think nickerson is an offensive defenseman because he's certainly not a defensive minded defenseman. |

I sometimes wonder if the players know how much results mean to us fans, at the start of the season we were c***, then they started to gel and put a great run together raising our hopes thinking we could make 7th or 8th place. We then go to Hull knowing that a win is essential and play *****.
As for Matt I have always thought he was a great asset to the Flyers but it seems his focus was on Smith rather than the win.
If it's true he attacked a disabled fan, then he should be released.

Fultons ran every goalie in the league. He slashes repeatedly after the whistle, as does Roehl. And lukacevic and dacosta are always upto something. I don't mind it because yes most other teams do but think you've got the blinkers on a bit here. Also Nickerson is pretty much as defensive a defender you'll see.

Lukacevic was anonymous tonight. Flyers were poor all game, couldn't make a pass or control the puck. What didn't help us was giving up goals right after we had scored our first and second. It's gonna be tough to qualify now I think. A couple of Hull's forwards would be a good addition for us next season. One flyers fan said there is a rumour that Braehead have signed one of our players for next season anyone heard similar?

And yes I do think nickerson is an offensive defenseman because he's certainly not a defensive minded defenseman. We are one of the niggliest teams in the league as per Swarfiga's post. Nickerson is our lowest scoring import defenceman and I reckon I could count on one hand the amount of times he's 'pinched in' this season. He also very rarely shoots despite having a hard shot. |

How short sighted are some of our hired hands this season? We should have taken this loss tonight on the chin and geared up for Saturday. A very likely scenario would be Cardiff with 3 games left only getting one more win against Caps, we would only need to win our 2 home games to qualify.
Matt only had eyes for Smith, and even after that, Fulton Dacosta and Lukacevic were determined to have a go with anyone. Actually think Matt will only get the one match ban as the comentator said more than once he was no where near the fan, just made a gesture. I am wandering if the players were told that tonight was the last chance win was a must etc, and when it all went wrong they thought oh well go out with a bang? Just don't get it Saturday should have become the focus after the 5th and 6th goals.
I think looking at it season long, Matt is not the answer, although we do need a hockey playing enforcer. I would have Fulton, Reber, and Roehl back as 2nd line, Danny as player coach. I would have none of the D back. We really need to look for Brits to bolster the squad.
In a word "disappointing"!

I believe Braehead would pay good money for Fulton, so I would expect to see him in purple next season.

I dont believe that Braehead have 'signed' any of our players but totally agree with you- Fulton would be a dream addition for Finnerty. If we want him back I'm guessing he'll need a very good contract, but he'd be worth it. |

Really need a coaching change after tonights debacle.
Braehead are very keen on Fulton and guess what he will be signed up if the Fife Way usual signing nonsense happens.
