Pretty quiet in here now that the boys are rolling! Funny how we play almost fully healthy (at least 3 full lines) and we are winning hockey games . Says alot about the group of guys Todd put together . Not saying we are playing amazing or anything along those lines but we have 17 of our last 20 points no easy feat in this league today. I love seeing all the nay Sayers having nothing to say and nothing to moan and groan about! The quieter this forum the happier I am as a fan because that means the flyers are winning! (Here come the "oh wow your a happy clapper" or "we could be better with this change" )

Think the guy has a point to be fair. Maybe it would be a breath if fresh air to see some positive comments when deserved, everyone is quick enough to get on their backs when getting beat. Tell you what though we ain't a great team to watch but we are hard to beat.

Most folk that are usuallly quite negative, myself included posted positive comments on the game threads over the weekend so why you have to start a new thread is beyond me

And even though they're getting results and it's great we've managed to get to 4th at this point, doesn't change the fact that we didn't make changes/additions fast enough, have a poor standard of Brit on the third line with a defence man playing next to him, aye we're 4th and that's brilliant but we could have been right in the conference mix and even higher if management had done what should have been done earlier

It is a just and fair comment about the moan and groaners who persistently criticise Todd, the directors, individual players, the dee-jay, the publc relations etc etc etc. Hopefully they are now beginning to at last realise we have a pretty good team this season and Todds tactics are beginmomg tp pay off now that the list of injuries has reduced. A fit Ryan Dingle has still to return so we have plenty to be cheerful about. COYF

Why no check out the comments from folk on the panthers game thread.
c*** attempt at trolling btw.
Oh and while its been good to get the points we have the real test is to come. We return to action against the Erhardt teams on a regular basis. If we are still picking up points and can play .500 hockey then I'm sure the praise will follow. We have won 8 out of the last 10, 9 off these games were in our own conference. For the full season we are 20 wins 21 losses. So these recent wins have improved what was a terrible record before this recent run.
For me I said it on the storm game thread, the team played better than they have in a while during that game.
As for 3 full lines we always had that, problem was the coach wouldn't play the local guys. Nice to be winning but the same flaws are still in evidence. We rely way to much on Owen, we are outshot pretty much every night. Our depth is still our biggest issue.

We have an average team with a few standout players and the best goalie in the league. Todds tactics you mean us getting outshot every game and hoping Owen doesn't have an off night.

See all these comments about oh where's the praise for the teams, and awfully quiet on here after a big win, they are as bad if not worse than folk constantly moaning IMO. Everyone needs to stop it all. moaners only out when we lose, moaners about moaners only out to gloat after a big win. It's a forum to discuss our opinions etc, which I will read and process and respect as its your own opinion, which everyone is entitled to, but for goodness sake guys stop the petty bickering, we are never all going to agree with each other, just try keep the peace though

Share the Love :-)
Have we had a good run...yes....am I fooled that this is the answer to everything, and that we're seeing a different style of hockey....No.
The very same issues and concerns that arise every single season, are still happening, we still need to make a few changes in how things are run.

Oh, and PS - I do give credit where it is due, and that is 17 points from 20. Not too shabby at all, well done to the team

I think Dutes is starting to prove his worth as a coach in this league with very limited sources. Granted ive criticised him in the past but the guys stuck with the same brits every year,which he clearly doesnt trust pr like them as players or he'd play them. He virtually has to get every import signing correct in the summer and i think he doesnt do a bad job. I think he wants an enforced but knows if the enforcer takes a big penalty in a game or a suspension then he has to play brits that he doesnt want in his team. I feel for him a bit now but id like to see how he wouldve done if we added Davies,Dolan,Moore and added Cameron instead of Finucci, couldve perhaps been closer in the title race..

I think that's the main frustration, certainly is for me, a few fairly small changes, and forget the conference, we could be going for the EIHL Title and Play Offs. Absolutely nowt against any of our players, they do their best. But the likes of Davies, Dolan, Moore, Plews would fundamentaly change our team, it allows us to rest the imports, and move to what would be in effect 4 lines, that, plus an enforcer rather than 2 bench coaches etc, I don't see out spending changing radically, but we'd be far more competitive, and probably 300-500 bigger in crowd, hence, any additional spend pays for itself.
