Bottom line is fans should not be hitting players especially when Simmsey is there. The game needs the goons and fighters to make it Interesting. Mr Simms however, we could do without!
I do agree with the earlier post though, no matter what abuse a players faces he's paid to do a job and be a professional. Under no circumstances does he strike out at a fan.
Unfortunately all this does is reflect badly on the good people of Cardiff. As expected the idiots from Shuff are already posting about what a vicious little bunch we are. I'll be safe holding my breath waiting for Simms next tweet, post or article stating how terrible Cardiff is. "Don't forget those unruly people threw things at the Sheffield bus last season you know and now they've attacked poor Olson". Too, too predictable.

There, now finally a reasoned comment. I actually agree with you that fans need to be that and not cross a line, however professional sportsmen need to be that. Professional.
FWIW I was deeply upset to learn of Wade Belak and think it a tragedy in no small part inspired by the on-ice job he was expected to do in the line of earning his living. Boxers train for months and have a whole support team working for them. Hockey enforcers do not yet are expected to big up for a bare knuckle fight in front of a sometimes massive crowd all on their own. Pressure? Hell yeah and then some.
That all said, it don't do anyone any good coming on our forum and bragging that he beat the crap out of our guy one time either. You couldn't even remember his name. Russ Romaniuk in case you were curious.

WD :lol:You've commented on 1 persons post on Steeltalk, whilst the rest have just commented on the Elite league report. I think you'll find there will be no sympathy from Sheffield towards Coventry with the stunts they've pulled this season in our games against them.
Simmsey may back Coventry, as Thommo is his best mate but I'd be very surprised if there is much support for that lot from Sheffield at all.
The sooner some of their muppet players are serving long bans the better!!!!

I've just been through and deleted an initial post that really didn't need to be on here, and all that associated replies quoting it.
Anymore posts about it will automatically be deleted, or at least edited to remove the specific part.
Whilst tempers might be running high, please can we all try and remain civil. There's clearly issues on both sides here, until the game footage is released, if it's released, then it's hard to ay what will be happening.
For reference, the gamesheet can be found at http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/stats/official-game-report.php?game_id=1352

I think the devils should have a raffle every time hicks/darnell are due to "ref "(and i use that term in the loosest term possible) and the winner gets to ref the game instead of these two plonkers. if the eihl dont do something now about this pair then they are just a bunch of jokers playing at running a professional ice hockey league :roll: :roll:
And? What's wrong with that? If its the one and only post by this time next week then I will write to you to personally apologise!
To be fair as much as these kinds of incidents live long in the memory and give us fans something to debate it's a sad state of affairs and only brings the game down. Having Sky there isn't going to help us or the game. I look forward to hearing the official announcement.
