I've just deleted a load of 'banter' can we keep it a little civil please.

No probs, just get a bit peeved when people get mixed up between banter and insults. :roll:

Back to Biz:

We showed we can do it . That is a BIG item.
We have the backup, the means and the ambition.
It would not surprise me if it happened next season - our first year in the new Arena.

That would be perfect, guess it depends whether he's still considered good enough for the NHL/AHL next season... It certainly looks promising that he'll finish his career with us though and that's a very exciting prospect!

I hate Portland.

He could still come back here tho surely. That article says he's on a professional try out contract. I guess we shall see, I agree with you there Earnie

A shame it didn't work out but at least we tried and the owners have proved (yet again) how much they are behind the club.

On Biz, the guy oozes class. The fact he came to us and agreed a widely publicised deal after being approached by other EIHL teams speaks volumes for the man. He then thanks the Devils via his twitter account which is followed by almost 600,000 people, the vast majority being Hockey related. In these two actions he has raised the profile of the Club in North America substantially and done almost as much as if he had actually signed. Top top bloke.

Not being "touchy" at all

I expect this kind of banter at a national level not a club level.
