I don't think any Brit forwards hit the ice at all during that "dead rubber" 5 - 0 drubbing.
7 seasons into the Elite League, WTF is going on?

No disrespect to Isaacs who I think is a decent defenceman but why would you block 2 young Brits and play him as a forward? I defend Todd when I can but this is utterly unbelievable. Beattie and Smith could be decent players for a number of years if they're given that experience whereas Isaacs is a veteran who has never been and never will be an effective forward.

He learned his trade from the master, Mark Morrison chased so much youth out of the club by not giving these guys a chance. The Kirkcaldy juniors are one of the best in the uk, but we haven't seen any players really come through for a good number of years. |

Falcons are U20 British champions so there must be some talented players to pick from.

To be brutally honest given how the Flyers have treated the british players that have been in the squad why would any of them even want to move up to the Flyers, the only ice time your gonna get will be in training and if your lucky in your first two or three years you'll amass twenty minutes game time. |

Dutes did exactly the right thing in Belfast. He gave Marr a full game and kept the score to a reasonable margin. It was a meaningless game for Flyers.
Tonight is the game that matters so lets give the boys some real support so they can follow up that magnificent 7=1 scoreline at Braehead.

Only one capable that's left is Scott Jamieson from Falcons. Does he even get to train with Flyers? Others moved to Caps in summer and probably won't be back. |

And they both played SNL last night, not elite, so that shows you how elite ready they are. Honestly to listen to folk on here you would think that we have a junior system full of players ready to get drafted by the NHL. The elite league will never allow any local player who anything other than an exceptional talent to claim a regular place on the roster. I look around teams and where are all these ex Fife players that have left in their droves playing in the elite !!!! |

Yes that's what I'm saying, maybe a few come through but how many went elsewhere as they couldn't stand him. Name a player that come through the Morrison era, Murphy but he wasn't even a fife product. |

COYF So in a meaningless game sitting Beattie, Chad Smith, and not even dressing Reece Cochrane, and playing a D man up front is the right thing to do? |

COYF Surely you can see that it would have been better to use our brits and rest up the imports as much as possible going into tonight. If I was a Brit player and didn't get any ice time last night I would be knocking on Todds door and askin some serious questions |
