The point I try to make here, and I admit I am provocative, is that I have had doubts about our coaches ability for a while now.
Am I right in thinking your son-in-law is an ex-player who Lord chose to not re-sign? Did your doubt around Lord surfacearound that time?
Most successful coach in the club’s history and people still have doubts over him. Remarkable.
If Lord had the issues you are suggesting then we wouldn’t have so many players returning each year. Players like Hotham and Martin who could have easily gone elsewhere but chose to come back to Cardiff.
We’ve been unbelievable lucky in the last 4 years with players not leaving mid-season. Even with the 4 departures this season I’d guess that’s still less than anyone else over that.
Parisi was just one of those things.
Blood had an offer he couldn’t resist.
Faryna had planned to retire last summer. Came back but kept getting injured (can’t believe you are accusing him of faking injury) and then decided to return home due to reasons outside of hockey.
Sadly Moore’s departure is not that unexpected. We could selfishly have kept him on as injury cover but that wouldn’t be fair on Craig. He needs to be playing regular ice time and if everyone is fit then with Duggan’s arrival it’s Craig who is spare.
Far better he goes elsewhere and gets regular ice time, and hopefully helps us out when playing our title challengers.
