Duggan is originally from Reading isn't he? Not far from Guildford....

I think it was pretty clear last summer from the signings made that Russell wanted a far more mobile D than we'd previously had in Cardiff. One where every player was able to jump into the attack when needed. But I think most fans would say it didn't work. We often got ourselves into a winning...

Agreed. Gleason first started showing us what he could do when we paired him with Louis, and then his his peak when he was paired with Richardson. If he is returning, he needs a solid defensive defenceman alongside him so he has the freedom to attack when he wants.

Which I did find rather funny. As are some of the meltdowns from their fanbase following the announcement.

How was Reece Kelly supposed to get a sniff with us last season when he was signed to Glasgow?????????????

Reece Kelly is doing exactly what he should be at his age. Without being arrogant, we are one of the top teams in the EIHL and giving a 22 year old a regular shift when every game matters is a big risk. He needs a couple of years at a 'lower' EIHL team and then I'm sure once he has proved...

Didn't he score the opening goal in our Playoff win against the Giants?

Whatever the hoodoo is with Nottingham we have to get over it. Belfast and Sheffield repeatedly run over Nottingham whether it be at home or away. We need to do the same. Same with Coventry but to a lesser extent.

It's hard to define consistency for a goalscorer and if you think he goes missing too much that's your opinion. But in his defence he scored 5 goals in the 3 games in Belfast this season.

With the new format I think Sheffield have an excellent chance of getting through to the knockout stages. Belfast were very average at the start of the season but only just missed out. Assuming Sheffield keep their core of this team and don't get a freak draw you'd expect them to do better...

Really? The guy has been our top goalscorer for the last two seasons hitting 30+ goals in both those seasons. I'm struggling to think of a player who had done that for us before.

From what I saw the problem with the PP was entering the zone. Once we got in, we were pretty good at moving it around and creating changes. The main problem - especially at the start of the season - was that we were trying to be too fancy with drop passes to get into the zone.

UK Ice Hockey Rumours also posting that Cox is leaving.....

At the start of last season I was convinced that line 1 would be Ully-Arniel-Crandall and that Cox-Martin-Sanford would drop to line 2. But it never worked out that way. And I don't really get why. Arniel started the season looking like one of the best players in the league - but quickly...

Definitely. Towards the end of the Dupont era I never really believed going into a game with Belfast or Sheffield that we would win. This year I did. Obviously we didn't win every game but we won 3 of 6 v Sheffield and 4 of 7 v Belfast. The issue is consistency. And I question whether we have...
