The season proper starts tomorrow.
No posts on the main forum for a couple of days.
I take it I'm not alone in feeling underwhelmed about the season ahead?

I think there is a lot riding on that last import signing.
There is also a lot to prove for some imports such as Leblanc and Berzins.
But more postively we look to have a good core to the team who will fight for each other, a really exciting player in Young who could be a star, decent netminding and a couple of really decent young and local Brits on the books.
That aforementioned last import needs to be a big, tough d-man in the McIver or Cescon mould. Would still love Zahn! Also think we need proper cover for Stockton if he is still out as Isaacs up front weakens the forwards and the defence through his absence. Would rather Smith played wing and an import for ward filled in at center.

I think if we sign a big tough stay at home man, and replace a current forward with a sniper or power forward we do well, if we sign our usual under sized D man and persist with the current forward line up we struggle for playoffs

The season proper starts tomorrow. No posts on the main forum for a couple of days. I take it I'm not alone in feeling underwhelmed about the season ahead? I must admit I'm feeling indifferent about the start of the season. Usually excited by this stage but the underwhelming signings over the summer and performances in the pre-season games in Kirkcaldy have kind of kicked the enthusiasm out of me! That said, I'll be going along tomorrow night hoping that the Flyers build on the seemingly encouraging performances last weekend. I'm sure there will be plenty of activity on the forum should we get turned over by the Caps tomorrow night. |

Don't think we will make the play offs this year, 11th would be my prediction with Dundee propping up the table.

Lots to be positive about this team and I believe it is better than people are giving it credit for
We need a first line D, Berzins isn't it, so as others have said this final signing is crucial and Le Blanc still needs to fit in but other than that we look like we are coming together well and this team has a lot of potential if it is allowed to play the way we did against Clan, who to be fair should be our main opposition again and who we measure ourselves against
So yes I am excited and hopeful about the season and looking forward to it but this may come back to bite me

I don't get the negativity towards Birzins,he has been pretty steady to me.

I would have been a lot happier if we had held on to Ryan Dingle.
The guy has a family to support and we cant blame the coaches for him heading south
However as the rest have said we need that one piece that the other teams will watch out for.
Give it to end of the CC games and adjust as required two players jury out on at present

I'm marginally less despondent now after the Braehead performance.
I hope we gel further as a team but my sights are not set high at all.

Underwhelmed by this seasons signings following on from last season's borefest where we were regularly pushed about.
Combine that with the being an import down, an update would be nice, Stockton out and no word about that. Also playing Isaacs as a forward (not his fault) instead of an actual forward.
I wont be going tonight.
