It's no flyers luck, most teams suffer injuries etc its flyers choice to be short manned so when they lose a couple that's through choice not luck.

That report come from someone who wasn't there? No injury to Hogg, asked a Devils fan he said no injuries to report

We can live in hope. Until we get enough experienced local guys we need overseas guys to help our ones develop and give our team a competitive edge. Yup, our strategies been the wrong way around from the start. Instead of starting with 11 imports and reduce that over a few seasons once we get experienced home-grown talent. We feed them to the wolves by throwing them in with no support. They end up with no confidence and afraid to make mistakes. everyone is different though sparky, some people prefer to be thrown in at the deep end to learn, sink or swim type thing. personal experience: after learning to fight my fighting improved quickest when put in against the best, but when learning something new, like Polish, i needed the nurturing, and lots of it !!

That's true, but both those examples you gave are personal experiences, both of which you have control over. This is different as it's a team game and everyone has to support each other. Anyway, Hull are rumoured to be signing a new guy next week which I guess means they'll be releasing one soon. We'll find out who our next import is soon enough, when we pick up their cast-off

Dundee won again and will be tough next week. We need our owners to help out. If Edinburgh and Hull I prove we can easily drop down. If lessons were learned then we must finish at least 8th.

I think Hull currently have 12 on their books? They may go for 13 so that they are covered for injuries or suspension. That is a worry as they are a tough team to beat and may start to get a few wins. Maybe our owners will surprise us with 2 new signings so that we have cover? I think we know the answer. The scary thing is we would probably have 1 less at the moment had Braehead not cut Chaumont. I think our owners are a bit stubborn like Craig Levein who never admitted his mistake on setting the team up in Prague. Our owners want less imports - a great idea actually, but only if all follow suit - and are determined not to admit they have it wrong. With Dundee's recent form, next weekend may finish our season!

Hull actually have 13 imports on their books.
The 11 they had playing last night, Cloutier and the netminder Blais

Wow 13 with another on the way and all on less crowds than Flyers!

They are looking for another but they are also looking at gassing 2 imports they currently. But that would still leave them with 12. I think Clouts will be sitting games out and coaching from the bench.

Thing is, if we were to get an eleventh import, you could argue that we should really be getting a defenceman in to give us 4, 6 forwards and a goalie. But we really need to get the secondary scoring going again so I reckon it would be another forward if we did.

If it was me I would put Danny back in defence giving us a puck handling fast skating deman on each line, and bring in that extra forward. I actually feel that it would give us much more balance at the back on the 3rd line. Thought Danny was much more effective playing there last season!
