We could always have Murds on standby as a 3rd option. In all fairness his stats pretty much matches BOWNS on games that he played. Would free up the budget and allow an extra import to Ice. Win win. If there was a Injury to Bowns that meant any further games off then we could pick up another...
People keep going on about Mac and his temperament and/or attitude but one thing we know is he is a absolute competitor and seems to want to play for us hence his return. What I am a little confused about is a lot of people say that Mac is a trouble maker or upsets the dressing room etc etc BUT...
Yeah that made me a bit dubious. Is it injury, change of direction/heart towards hockey or simply taking a break for a year to collect himself but keep his skates on so to speak. Strange one at his age.
Interestingly a certain Jake Coughler was initially signed by Paul Thompson in Odenese and played 5 games for them before signing for us for 2 seasons where he went on to be a tidy player before signing for Guildford where he unfortunately was injured for the remainder of the entire season...
Name coming forward as a possible Centre is

Looking at his stats he has put up some good numbers in the ECHL, DEL2 and has played AHL and been top scorer in various other leagues. Also played in the ICEHL the same league as Nottingham's...
I remember Paxton well and have fond memories of him. Absolutely beauty and would have loved him to join us back then. Not that we were short of guys of his playing style but he was a real gamer and someone you know could change a game in a heartbeat. Not many exist anymore from that kind of...
Rumoured that a certain Xander Schulte is working hard with his training in the off season for his first year pro and is EIHL bound. Not sure what to make of this rumour but if true I can only see him icing for one team in particular.
Looks to be a very physical and strong player who plays hard...
I'm not one of those 'I know something you don't know' folks, and there's no way Flames confirm their salaries in public...but I heard (so it could be rubbish!) from a usually reliable source that Waller was highest paid player on roster in Surrey. I took queried whether that was accurate, given...
I must admit I really liked Wallers style of play e of play anand determination whilst he was with us and wish we had retained him as he was clearly progressing and developing year on year and is definitely one of the best Brits at the moment BUT that said.........is he REALLY their highest paid...
Would love someone of this type of Big Bodied D Man to sign for us. He has signed recently for unknown team so fingers crossed. It has been a while since we had a Big Hard nosed lump minding the Blue Line.

And as a rumour I do like...
There won't be an excuse from him. If you have noticed, the last few losses he hasn't given any interview. However, when we have a win he is all to happy. He needs to take responsibility and us supporters need some answers and some feedback when we lose. Obviously we all know it isn't always...
If he wants to secure his place for the playoffs then yes. If he wants to be benched again then no. I would hope he wants to be playing so would give it his all. Like any of the players, however, some are clearly not doing that.
