I’m amazed how many people read my posts.
Many people ask why I am so passionate about Lucas Brine, well I know his dad well but it all started when we watched him play against Ukraine for GB where he played great and won.
He was selected to play against Poland the next night - it is the ultimate honour to be selected by GB but Mike and Fabian refused saying he was needed at Dundee.
At Dundee he was sat in the corridor, not on the bench, while Soulier played and baby goalie played in Paisley, the protocol would have been for Lucas to play GB and BG to back up.
That next week Lucas asked Fabian why he had been refused and he was told that his life had been too easy and that he needed to face some adversity and there was me thinking his job was to get goalies stopping pucks.
It got worse from that minute - Lucas has been gradually ghosted and you have all witnessed it.
When Fabian posts Clan goalie sessions he no longer features Lucas,
Lucas was selected to play for GB again this week but refused only to sit on the bench during the 8-1 Sheffield humiliation and then not dressed at all on Sunday night he could be in Innsbruck.
The ultimate insult came in the team photo - see attached Stanley cup champs and EIHL cup champs - both feature their 3rd goalie on the front line as is tradition - Lucas was made to stand in the second row and told not to wear his pads as far as the coaches are concerned there are only two goalies at the Clan - the ghosting was complete, he has been carefully pushed into the background and will play no further part this season.
Lucas loves Glasgow, the city and the team but his treatment by two interim coaches has been disgusting, even if the coaches are misguided enough to not see the value in a Brit as a number 2 show some respect.
That’s me done.
