Looks like he took extra time off before signing in Austria so had to do catch up on game speed (ala Watling). I'd say those DEL stats should be more applicable at full game sharpness.
Called it on this one - hopefully we'll get another spot back and can pick up another

Re: Gentile leaves
It's not Troock as replacement - signed in Czechia

Gentile leaves
Derek Gentile has left - signed for Atlanta in ECHL. I assume we will have a replacement lined up. My guess is on Brandon Troock or Brett Ritchie. Troock played with Watling in Slovakia - was top scorer on the team. Bounced between Slovakia and Liiga this year. Just released by Sport (Liiga). Ritchi...

Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers: Sat 27th Dec
I expect Nottingham to really push the pace 1st period. Will need to weather it and then play a solid road game.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: The Boxing Day Classic
It's going to go right to the wire this year - 4 teams with absolutely nothing between them at the top. Poor 1st, strong 2nd, probably edged the 3rd. Probably the correct result overall. Reece Kelly absolutely outstanding - keep going on this trajectory and I think he's going to be a legit top 4 D i...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: The Boxing Day Classic
Watling I expect to slot in on the 4th line for these 2 games. Guessing Southorn probably becomes the scratch, although I really like what he brings on the second PP unit. Need to try and take advantage of Panther's injury struggles. Fossier could be back, but not heard anything definitive. Not sure...

ECHL players strike
ECHL players have gone on strike over pay and conditions. Effectively starts Boxing day. Potentially could see players heading across the Atlantic as a result.

Re: GAME THREAD: Devils v Steelers: Sat 20th Dec 7pm
Maybe a bit biased but I didn't think the Devils should have got that goal washed off. Great game of hockey mind, and those sort of calls sometimes go for you as well as against...Big legitimate hit against your guy and I hope he recovers quickly..... It's a good call on the washed off goal - they ...

Re: GAME THREAD: Devils v Steelers: Sat 20th Dec 7pm
Stolen 2 points there. Excellent result, clinical enough when we did get chances, but Cardiff dominated puck possession. Interesting though to look at the advanced stats and the mid and high danger chances were almost even - Cardiff had 3 more mid danger chances. We did keep a lot to the outside, bu...
