Has there ever been a better defensive pairing at Fife?
I can't think of any off hand.

We should sign them up now and give them a pay rise to show we are serious.

Keller and Caister are a great pair of classy skaters who between them have racked up 10 goals for us so far. Indeed Keller is number two d-man in the league for points racked up as only Mike Schutte of Coventry Blaze has more points. Also showing just much of a team we are without goal-scoring prima-donnas. Bobby C is 4th top in the league with 44 assists, Casey is 9th in the league with 36 assists, despite missing so many games and get this Derek Keller with 33 assists is 19th top in the league (that's all players, forwards included)? What a TEAM we have.

Agree, the two of them are excellent. I would have them signed up before they get anywhere near Edinburgh airport on the way home.

I agree sign them back up along with boom boom carriveau but I would like to see us add a 4th d man a physical imposing sort of guy who can get the crowd going and play good solid D. The equivalent of Gui Lepine. Also bring back horny and tommy/wands

Can't think of us ever having a better pairing at the back. Derek gets most of the plaudits for his offense and energy, but Caisty's a really solid D with the best poke check I think i've seen. If we want to build on what we've achieved this season, we need to get these guys signed up for next year

I'd keep all the imports except Danny and Todd. Keep one of them as coach and get two younger forwards in. That plus maybe 1 or two additional Brits from the off and we would have a great year I'm sure

Ted Russell and Bill Moody? Same numbers after all. Swear i was having a flashback at some point this year seeing 44 7 11 41 and 12 on the ice at the same time

I have to agree that they know each others game inside out. I would love to see the majority of the team back. These two and boom boom zac should be asked back. I think if Tim and Matt Cohen had been fit and played together regularly last season, they too would have been good.

Swear i was having a flashback at some point this year seeing 44 7 11 41 and 12 on the ice at the same time Good pairing but honestly don't think Moody was in the same class as Caister and Keller as an individual and as a partnership I actually don't think we've had anything even close to the 2 we have at the moment. Cohen and Maxwell for me were as good if not better individually as Derek and Jeff but not sure how they'd have been together- too similar maybe? On another note- Kyle and Zach have been quietly superb together too.

I agree Finchy Maxi and Cohey for me were better individually.
They work incredibly well as a partnership on the big ice I think they will struggle a bit more on the small ice as they are not particularly physical. Only a few criticisms for me would be Kellers lack of physicality in the crease, I think he struggles to move big bodies out on the PK. I also think they could both shoot the puck a little more especially on the PP.
For two Coast guys though coming over here they have been a class act and deserve a huge amount of credit. They have been better than many D men who have come over here with much bigger reputations.

Caister and Keller are the best d pairing in the league....Caister reads the game so well and is always in the right place to break up plays with his awesome poke check and Keller is so smart,strong and skates better than any offensive dman in the league...Domish wasn't bad on Sunday either !!
