We are bringing back a player and the comments are IF he works harder IF he brings a better attitude. Is it just me who finds it odd that some are trying to justify this signing with IF. We saw it week in week out his efforts where poor overall yes he got decent points on our top line playing with our best forwards. Imagine what a Jason Pitton type could do in that position. Sorry but for me he is a player we could and should have walked away from. Says more about the coach than anything Fox returning. Lazy recruitment. Interesting side point Simmsy said tonight that Danny was responsible for a lot of what Flyers did in recruiting and running the team. Er well if simmsy says so it must be gospel.....will take this with the portion of saxo it deserves, what Simms has got doing sticking his oar in, and stirring for is typical of his agitating style ...buffoon. |

Good guy in the room, not a lick of effort or commitment on the ice, aye brilliant How ANYONE can be complaining about the standard of players we have signed so far is beyond me. We have recruited our three top scorers plus one other who is arguably the best in the league. And we are still waiting for another NINE imports. It s shaping up to be a tremendous season for Flyers even better than last year. It is nice to be so optimistic and I hope you are right. On the down side without someone at his side, (Danny), Todd may show himself not really up to it. Time will tell. |

If that is the case then Danny can carry the can for the duds too. Let's give Todd his first full proper season and see how he gets on both on recruitment once full squad is signed and on performance. If this is the last season of playing your conference more than the other, we should be trying to do a Braehead bar the bottling bit at the end. I'm sticking a tenner on us to win the league once the odds are out anyways - stranger things have happened

I've got a better tip for you... dont bet |

Yes it would be good to ssign a team of superstars but would that guarantee succes, who knows, a team is made up of group of players who all bring something different to the table some will score goals some will save goals some will do the dirty work, theres also guys that are good to have off the ice, as Todd says he is a good guy to have in the dressing room these guys are also invaluable to a team if the heads are down or going through a bad spell, he may not be the hardest working on the ice but he may just contribute in other ways. Well put. After speaking to a player from last year, foxy was a great guy to have in the locker room. And generally a good, sound guy. And as you said they guys are important too Is this another example of Todd signing his pals? |

i dont believe we need full time brits, what we need is todd to realise we need three lines competing. the third line is not there to give the other lines a breather.
we play two lines with the third making up numbers

I believe the only way you win trophies is by yes having 3 competitive lines but also having full time brits

Aye really you need a team full of full time guys who are doing the same training and putting in the same time every day, we need to get away from this imports and Brits attitude, it's a whole team.

This nonsense of training late a night is/was crazy, at least that appears to be sorted out now. Not having full time Brits means not being able to travel down the day before (when possible) to games. Look at the playoff weekend last season. The Blaze were tweeting pictures of their team on the Ice in Nottingham on the Friday our boys were just about to jump on the bus at FIA at the same time. That stuff all adds up. Phase out the current group (which is already happening) and replace them with guys on full time deals invest in the local talent make them professional players not just guys who play hockey when their full time job allows. |
