The 2 week release clause is the same for every player in the league and in other leagues around Europe, They already have Roy and O'Connor on 2 year deals why would this one suddenly be just a PR stunt? If Flyers announced Dingle had signed on for next season would that be a PR stunt? The Steelers have signed up one of their fan favourites, they are retaining one of the toughest guys in the league. Good piece of business IMO as it stops any other clubs in the EIHL poaching him like they did from Braehead. |

Good piece of business IMO as it stops any other clubs in the EIHL poaching him like they did from Braehead. Because, as I said, the 2 year contract means nothing. So any long term contract announcement is by definition a PR stunt .The only meaning it has is that this week Steelers like Fitzgerald and he likes them .Might sell a few extra tix for the boxing day game though. |

I went to the Panthers Caps game in November, was impressed by Hardy. Same size as Haines I believe, but great puck carrier and never hesitated to try take guys on and move into offensive zone. |

I think that was part of the issue - he wouldn't hesitate to take on someone even if he was the last guy in defence. Good when it worked - panic times when it didn't.

We're already giving up odd-man rushes with over-committing defencemen. The last thing we need is another offensive D-man.

Plante was the best goalie in the league imo before he got inured. Pinc is well, nowhere near it He was in Frankfurt yesterday with his new team in DEL 2 Obviously brewing for a while, and not happy with things at House of Steel Thommo looks like a man under pressure these days His interviews will be interesting if he looses both games v Panthers this weekend. Last Sundays loss to Coventry he's saying Stewart is best Goalie in EIHL......... That's not what the stats say |

Last Sundays loss to Coventry he's saying Stewart is best Goalie in EIHL......... That's not what the stats say That's a bit unfair on Stewart IMO. The team in front of him is what makes his stats less than stellar. The Steelers outshot Cov substantially last Sunday and he kept them in the game. I'd love him in a Steelers shirt next season, and I bet you'd swap him for Brown in a heartbeat. As for Thommo being under pressure - it goes with the job. Plante was good before his injury, and a nice bloke so I'm sorry it's not worked out at the Steelers for him. Pinc has been improving by the game - but the acid test is on Saturday and Sunday in front of 16,000 (and I'm glad the pnathers are also having goalie 'issues'!). |
