Anyone read that absolute garbage Todd was spouting in today's FFP?? Patting himself and Jeff on the back for a recruitment they set out to get?! Same old slogans "size" and "grit" make an appearance. Here's some highlights...
“I would certainly ask people not to pass judgement on guys until they see them. I think we have an excellent group here, and most of what we promised throughout the recruiting process"
"We’re bigger, stronger, younger, grittier – and hard working"
“Throughout this busy summer I think both Jeff and myself have done a decent job at putting together a team that we’re happy to be the front men of, and I’m excited to see what they can do.”
“I think we’re a much more physical bunch, and we have a bit more size. Some muscle back there would help us out a bit, but so would a skilled defenceman"
“It seems to be a trend in British hockey right now where everyone wants an enforcer type. I can’t guarantee we’ll get one as we don’t know who will be available and who we can get. We’ve talked to a number of guys who are tough, and a number of guys who are skilled - and got neither."
Todd is an ****.

Todd is an ****. What an absolute moron, is he completely deluded or just a troll? Unless they've unearthed 5 or 6 gems there's nothing on any CV there to say there's any grit or toughness at all apart from a couple scraps from Gauthier including an absolute pasting from Kurtz

If you keep spouting the same old bs you eventually start to believe it as he obviously does

You’re welcome to say Todd is a moron, but I don’t think that judging an entire roster of players you’ve never seen before is necessarily the smartest thing in the world. Unless looking at Elite Prospects tells you everything you need to know. One of the toughest players I’ve seen play for Fife went half a season without a single penalty. Don’t think folk on here would rate Monteith though cause he didn’t fight.

I'm watching this Davos team v Devils in the CHL... they are a terrible team... no one over 70 penalty minutes last season... no fighters in their team... really poor...
Oh they are 2-0 up v Devils and should be more!

We were spot on then. Only a few in our team show any physical history Gauthier being one everybody mentions. Possibly on our top line, not the guy I want fighting. Last point Cameron was advertised by Todd as "gritty" I've had more grit in my eye!

Oh they are 2-0 up v Devils and should be more! Should have added if you play a NA style game in the CHL you will be short handed for pretty much the entire game. Every team the EIHL has had in the CHL has found that out the hard way. Edit: their playing budget from 2012 was 16.8 million euros. I'm sure they have spent loads less this season though.

We have a one dimensional team that can't mix things up when required.
