Totally. Would be a great captain. Think Barry adds very little on the ice and not sure he’s the leader in the locker room. If anything is say Barry looks the most out of shape I’ve seen.

No. I didn’t think we lost because of Barry.
I’m saying as a captain. Lawrence makes more sense to me, than a player like Barry

Lawrence is a great shout for the "C" but I don't think highlighting Barry after an overall poor team performance is way out off order.
Hopefully this is shows we needs to put the effort in to get anything from this league

Personally I think Barry should have retired last year. I really don’t see what good he adds to the team, and I would rather have a young guy get the ice time instead.
That’s not just from tonight’s game, but from all the games I’ve seen Barry play here. Not a fan. He’s played over 150 games for us, and now into his 4th season. Yet he’s only scored 9 goals in all that time. If you think that’s good enough production from an ageing forward, then I guess you can think that.

Barry isn't the most offensive player in the team but he has a role and I think he plays it well, Tonight in thought he was good on the PK and tonight the whole team seemed flat and if it was to pick out one player it would have been No8 who has a complete mare tonight

Agreed. He had a nightmare tonight. Hopefully it was just a blip and the team bounce back tomorrow. New guy was looking hungry, might be a good pick up.

Number 8 for the flyers was dreadful. Should have been benched after he cost us the 2nd. All round a game to forget. Big issue for fife if the utter lack of atmosphere in the rink. Nightmare for Hausinger got his pocket well and truly picked Should have just hit it up the ice The atmosphere is there if it’s going well on the ice |

Problem for me is our d do not hit anyone in our end so we run around letting teams spend prolonged time and give them chances. Fernholm I hope is just rusty he looks terrible, and Sherbinin is very poor. Plenty chances made just didn't put them away and Toby handed them power plays galore, right after similar calls missed on flyers players, he had the worst performance I've seen in a long time.
New boy looked good. Hope that they just need to click again with this being first proper game with a near full squad.

It is early days and I am still feeling fairly optimistic despite the poor result and performance last night. The first period was scrappy from both teams. We ran in to penalty trouble in the second period and Manchester took control of the game. A bad hit from Lawrence led to another powerplay goal early in the third period, followed quickly by a fourth goal for Storm which killed the game. I thought the officials had the usual mixed bag of decisions that we get at FIA. They probably got the big calls right but dished out some really soft penalties and missed some pretty blatant ones.
Looking at the team as a whole, I think Cameron, Phillips and Owen look the stand-out players. Lawrence provides a physical presence but can play a bit as well. Laakonen looks a class act. Kivilahti is not the biggest but he battles hard in the offensive zone. Harsch and Cochrane are quietly effective as a defensive pair. Kloz looks a tidy player as well.
There is definitely room for improvement with the rest. We probably have not found the right chemistry with our forward lines yet. The talent is there but it is getting the right players together on the same line. I still think we will be OK this season.

Folks, 247tv are giving a refund of £5 for the lack of 3rd period coverage if you drop them an email

And to be fair I thought Mikael Johanson was one of the better players, still to come back. They still need a other Brit forward for depth, as a club they should have boys on 2 ways, not sure why we never seem to have this.

Barry should have retired, and Emmerdahl should not have been back, I wasn't overly impressed with Cameron last night and yes the scandanavian players are good but not physical you need some of that in this league. Kloz looks a good player and I am still worried about fitness and injuries with the fact of some these guys ages but who knows we will just have to see what happens

I think Bari was due to go to Solway, but Flyers have persuaded him back due to lack of Brit forwards.
And yes the Europeans are a bit less physical but our 2 1st line Canadian d are no where near physical enough, Harsh is slightly better, and actually Emmerdahl is only one that hits anyone. This is our biggest issue just now, spend so much time trying to break up plays in our end by time we get it forwards have nothing left dump in and change.
