@steelermark @eddy_salttz My kids just now about to go 4/5 months without ice because Braehead becomes a concert venue and other teams don’t want players joining on a short term basis. 🙄

@eddy_salttz @dadchefdom That’s never going to happen though. Our junior system doesn’t allow it.

So what changed ? When Cory was pushed out of the club by fan power we were 8th and that’s where we’re likely to finish. Despite dropping the most promising British goalie in a decade our two imports have managed just 5 wins in the last 14 against top 8 teams We rejoice about a shut out against Fife, a team with 13 players but we shut them out in November, ourselves without McKay, Roy, Risk, Poolman and Messner - yes don’t forget - we had most of the first half with 12 imports but now we have a full squad and two important goalies to choose from and the coaches still can’t get the job done. The season will end, players will drift off and leave as they do and once again it will be a full re-build for what ? Just so a pod cast and a few fans got what they wanted - yes we score a few more goals now but what really changed.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz We just need more of everything available in the UK, more rinks = more pro teams, more junior teams, more competition through the ages, more ice time opportunities.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz However they know in the back of their mind they can make it all right with a couple of wins in playoffs

@eddy_salttz @dadchefdom Playoff title being the big prize I do believe that would really help on the development front. The real problem is that it’s just not the British way of doing things in sport.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz That is the American/Canadian mindset which is why I believe once the league title is out of reach (sometimes not) some players/teams are on the beach and content with losing much to the disappointment of their fan bases….

@steelermark @eddy_salttz I’m a big fan of Brine but I would love nothing more than to see him go and be number 1 somewhere and gain experience and confidence and then come back as our number 1

@eddy_salttz @dadchefdom To win properly in this league you have to go with 2 imports unless you have Bowns or Whistle. One import and a lower level Brit won’t cut it in league winning terms. I’m hoping Lucas can reach the level of Bowns and Whistle. I believe he can but needs games. Which is why ….

@eddy_salttz @waynewhitetog And how many wins does Shane Owen have yet you think we should sign him?

@waynewhitetog @dadchefdom How is Soulier Phenominal ? He’s won once in last 7 starts against top 8 or is it that he loses better ?

@steelermark @eddy_salttz Was hoping they would have announced some more players already but we need a permanent coach first 🙈

@dadchefdom @eddy_salttz That’s why Neumann isn’t in Sheffield. Burke has 20 assists but 1 goal isn’t enough. I’d move him on. I’d only keep Langan, Neumann, Sideroff, Messner and Risk. Find a true goalscorer for Langan to work with.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz Check souliere stats since he came in? Could be a bit like Grande and drop off But he’s made massive impact

@dadchefdom @eddy_salttz Think you can do better than both these tbh.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz Neumann has skills but not consistent enough, Tedesco and Roy would be the ones to ship out for me. Burke has not had a run of games all season and did you check his assists? Him and Sideroff link up brilliant. Cade doesn’t seem to be a goal scorer, Langan scored more in cup too

@dadchefdom @eddy_salttz Neumann has 19. Langan 14 in 51 - he has to get more. Burke 1 in 37 - really poor. Tedesco 4 in 29 - not enough. Risk and Messner look good. Cade has to bring more in front of goal too. Think I’d only keep 4/5 import forwards out of your current crop.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz Messner would hit 20 plus given a full season as would a fit Deven Sideroff. Langan, Neumann and Schwartz have been out together by Mike and are now firing goals so let’s see! Hopefully we can give someone a tough time in playoffs

@dadchefdom @eddy_salttz I wouldn’t go to the mad house that is Fife. Dundee possibly but owned by the same people now. Lucas easily good enough for a 4/5/6 place team imo. Injuries are a problem. Something else to get to the bottom of. You don’t have a forward that’s hit 20 goals in the league ….

@steelermark @eddy_salttz I hope to keep Sami and Souliere but one with decent backup would be good

@dadchefdom @eddy_salttz Only Coventry have conceded more goals in the top 8. Not sure no changes is right. You’re also substantially the lowest scorers in the top 8. You need some big changes across the forward lines. Also a top quality goalie with Lucas as backup. DeRidder would be a good choice.

@steelermark @eddy_salttz Because we have made big improvements we just need to start winning the small on ice battles against the likes of Coventry and Guildford to kill off those games. I wouldn’t change any of the D and probably swap a few forwards to add some more aggression and accuracy

@dadchefdom @eddy_salttz Why would you want to keep the core of an 8th place team? Genuine question. Did you not keep a core last summer too? Any improvements? As an outsider I don’t see any.

@AlistairBelford @eddy_salttz I think any of our squad would start in a Sheffield/nottingham team I think it’s been down to culture and tactics during Corey’s reign. Injuries have been a problem this season but same for everyone I guess

@eddy_salttz Unfortunately the off ice improvements hasn't transferred to the on ice product. Year on year of poor player signings, whoever is doing the background checks of potential players need to do a better job

@eddy_salttz Under Corey we were in a rut! Poor run of form, poor systems and lack of goal scoring. All this has improved under Mike but hockey is a game of many small battles and you can win all those battles and still lose a hockey game.

@ClanIHC my son has built the arena on Minecraft 😍🥅🏒

@ClanIHC That’s class 👏

This is awesome! Well done 👏🏻

@Adamgchc13 @ClanIHC Chant “Super Kevin’s purple army” 🎵💜 Get him in the middle for a thunderclap and before he starts everyone shouts “good evening hockey fans”

@ClanIHC Against Sheffield at the end of the season or at the playoffs whatever leg we play is there gonna be some sort of goodbye or something
