Yip, no doubt he's a tough guy, however, i'm not sure what he'll bring to the Panthers other than a string of suspensions. It's been done to death, but i'm not sure how we can think we'll get through this season without a recognized tough guy in the line-up. Nothing . Skating ability really let's him down. Never seen him throw a decent hit as he can't get people lined up. Fighting was even hampered by it. Devils fans used to have sweeps on when he'd last a whole shift without falling over . Not sure how the flyers intend to combat the number of players in the league brought just to fight. Not confident we have the officials to deal with the players brought in by other teams this year. Can't skate and line people up aye? This video shows everyone that your post is irrelevant.

The sun even shines on a dog's ass somedays. He had to come the whole length of the ice to make it and a simple sidestep would have put him on his backside . Seen him play a lot, for Albany and New Jersey and his skating is awful. No turning ability and put a puck on his stick and his head explodes .Also not a very nice human according to former teammates in Jersey and St Louis. But each to their own .

After watching that late hit on the Leafs player by Cam Janssen I can't understand why he never got a sizeable ban for malicious and dangerous play and bringing the game into disrepute, if he plays like that in EIHL we will need at least one ambulance at every game and deduct the cost from his wages. There is no place for an out and out goon like that in British Hockey and the sooner people realise that all this getting the biggest enforcer etc nonsense goes on you will have players risking their lives and livelihoods every time they go on the ice. H ow far is it going to be allowed to go and how will the stripeys cope with players like this and how consistent will DOPS decisions be, we don't want seriously injured players in any team and we certainly don't want any fatalities, but I don't see how it can be avoided with this rush to have the most hard men on your team. Fans don't mind the odd fight, but players like this don't really fight it is all cheap shots and late hits against unsuspecting players. I hope I am wrong but it doesn't bode well for this season.

Try watching the leagues below the NHL over in America and you'll see that the EIHL is actually light in enforcers and fighters. And to say enforcers are all about cheap shots is nonsense. They guys are among some of the most honerable guys in hockey. What makes British ice hockey so special that there is "no place for an out and out goon?"

One video clip to justify that response? Deary me.
Janssen is a shadow of the NHL Middleweight champ he was in 08 and 09. He's a bombscare now who just seems to enjoy injuring other players etc

So who wants to step up and face him on Saturday then, he is one big dude. Fair play to him though catching Batch and stopping his head hitting the ice.
Salters really had it in for Noble. any idea what caused him to go nuts at their bench? (just checked on THF- Noble sticked him from the bench)

(just checked on THF- Noble sticked him from the bench) So, I assume DOPS will want to make a point at the start of the season and suspend Noble and Salters from their opening fixtures on Saturday? Aye right - I wont hold my breath.
