I have an idea that how Nottingham replace Janssen will have an influence on whether we sign another tough power forward.
If they decide to replace him with a point scorer rather than an enforcer then I think our business will be concluded. If they go like for like, then expect Bordeleau!!!

Will Nottingham see that the way forward for the league is actually going for speed, speed and more speed.......and scorers? Or will they replace Janssen with another enforcer as they have suggested? I do believe their choice will influence ours.
Cant read my......Can't read my.....Can't read my p-p-p-poker face :!:
Panthers certainly won't want to be bullied by their bitter rivals Steelers, their fans won't like that one little bit, seeing as they were sure Jannsen was returning, they need to replace him like for like. Also their Cousins North of the border have a very tough team, and their fans will be aware of that. Coventry, look tough, Steelers look tough, Braehead look tough, Belfast look tough.,Dundee pretty tough, we are pretty tough,So Panthers need their physicality as well. I expect them to sign a tough cookie,as I think we will.
Panthers' fans on the Cage are equally worried about a possible shortfall in goals from the forwards and are hoping for someone who can really chip in with points. Corey has stated they will be focusing on securing a very tough player. They will do well to get a combination of both. No mention of signing any extra players..but they are playing in a European Cup competition soon and may also respond ifother teams in the EIHL take on spares.
With the rumour about a big money tough forward not dying away and with Franny moving away from the bench, that situation is looking increasingly likely. I don't see us rotating too much and therefore Lord stepping onto the bench as a regular if not necessarily completely perminent thing (as in retirement )would seem the only option, need that player first though.
Steelers struggling with speed against HV71 isn't exactly a suprise.

How can we possibly compare Steelers' speed with our team when they haven't played each other yet!
Steelers aquitted themselves well against HV71, holding level with them with 10 minutes to go. Considering Sheffield are ranked near the bottom of 40 teams in this tournament that is admirable.
Am sure having several very experienced Scandanvians on their roster is helping massively.
Can't wait for our matchups this season.

I don't think he'll step back at all unfortunately. He can still play at this level but why handicap ourselves with a player coach if we don't need to? We've moved on from those days and it's too much to do both effectively during the game. I believe the team would benefit more from him concentrating on coaching duties and running the bench full time, especially now that Franny has moved on from bench duties. This would allow him to bring in one more player and ice regularly a genuine power forward who can mix it up with the tough guys, which I still believe is absolutely needed for the EIHL season.
