Pathetic. Putting Franny back on the bench and G on the ice has taken us back so many steps. We are so disorganised it's embarrassing. Our D were like headless chickens for all of their goals, with G pinching in and being too slow to get back epitomising his form this year. It's at least four times he's done it this year at home alone.
We should have put fife to the sword tonight, instead I think Adams fell on it.

Yep, great performance from The Flyers and probably deserved the win, especially coming back from 2 down and then being short handed in overtime. A great turnout from their supporters tonight and they were as noisy as ever supporting their team.
As for us, just what was the point of G icing tonight ? Franny on the bench and no sign of Pope being anywhere near the bench. G should take a long hard look at himself after tonight, stay on the bench full time for gods sake, you are embarrassing yourself and costing us goals. Plumton cost us another goal trying to deliver a hip check on the boards that failed miserably. We lacked cohesion and our pp still looks as dire as ever. Penalty shots ?? Blight the only one who looked like scoring and as for Mac's attempt, pathetic ! It's back to the drawing board and make it quick. I'm afraid last weeks 2 wins against a very poor Blaze team disguised so much that is poor about our style of play and we desperately need a new D guy in soon as possible. Hang up the skates for good please G.

This is not a matter of going 'head to head' as you put it, as for who decided he iced I don't know, you obviously do so let us know. Reading G's programme notes tonight, it seemed as though he was very content to stay on the bench full time, that is why I cannot understand why he was out there tonight. If PR insisted for whatever reason that G wet back on the ice, I find that incredible, and would say our owner has shot himself in the foot if responsible!
And I would agree with you. But this organisation has a history of smoking gun-related foot injuries.
Gerad is a true professional. If he had decided to ice he would have done so in advance and would have practised all week with the team to perfect lines and systems.
If he had, for example, been told a day in advance with only one hurried practise arranged, that would explain the current acrimony very well, would it not?

I agree with you 100%, G is indeed a true professional and has been a great servant of the club. If PR has forced his hand in the way you suggest - and as I have already posted elsewhere - Mr Ragan is responsible for 3 long time ( and long suffering ) fans calling a halt in attending future home games.

With regards to the game, I thought we were extremely unlucky not to get all two points. We dominated for long spells and played physical too, but we made a couple of individual errors which proved costly and came up against an excellent netminder.
I know in recent weeks we've been shooting poorly, but some of his saves tonight were unreal. And whilst I think a couple of the net incidents were accidental, two or three of them were definitely intentional.
As for the off-ice management - they are quickly making the club a laughing stock. Have they been taking tips off Vincent Tan?
