Unfortunately it’s the refs who have trouble telling the difference. Even Steve King says that Lacroix walks the line and has a habit of 'coming at you sideways'! I think Lacroix may find to his cost that with the EIHL refs, the 'line' is drawn nowhere near where he was expecting it!

Many people are saying the Devils will be a nightmare to play against. I’m not so sure, with the way the officiating has gone towards almost non contact hockey and some of the appallingly bad calls on seemingly fair but hard checks we experienced last term, I see the refs deciding quite a few...

#88 defo leads by example as you say but then again so does Richie and a few others. It depends on what sort of capt the coach is looking for, sometimes players who lead by example not always make a successful captain, sometimes you need a captain to 'bawl out' players on the ice to hold them...

I very much doubt that Olischefski is on bottom 6 money!

As we’re on this rumours thread, I’d heard that towards the end of the season a number of our d-men refused to play with Mac in goal. If correct then that explains his absence from the team sheets at the end of last season and his departure inevitable!

Like yourself I also don’t hate Thompson’s appointment, if I’m honest I’m a little ambivalent towards him. As per your example above, it also affords Fournier the opportunity to say to Thompson "the last Thompson coached Sheffield Steelers team I played against had a 'Bin fire' of a season...

By what PR is saying about what he gets at GB, the implication maybe is that he didn’t get it at the Devils. A few rotten apples in the Devils barrel perhaps?

I’m not a PT fan based on past history but I am prepared to be convinced otherwise if he can deliver a league championship along with bringing back entertaining hockey. Like Hip Check, lack of entertainment convinced me to stop attending games. After being a season ticket holder since the 80’s...

Beating up kids definitely sends a message. Like before I respect your opinion but we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one!

In the Coventry incident above, what was the message in sending out Campbell, Cruikshank Robinson et al to face off and beat up Mark Richardson, Phil Hill, Alex Symonds, whilst Devils Voth and Hartwick were on the bench! There was no settling of scores that was just shithousery 100%

Agree with your comments regarding Lord. Also I respect your opinion on Thompson but personally I got no time for him or his bff Simms. As I said previously, time will tell!

No secrets between Thompson and Dave (discretion is middle name) Simms!

Yeah, but back when Thompson made that comment the female goal judge (match official) was in place only to judge whether the puck has crossed the line. On this occasion (before goal line technology) a Sheffield goal was in dispute and the referee called the goal judge to the penalty box to...

Won it all at Coventry when they were the club with the biggest budget. The league standard was pretty poor then and many teams had player coaches and two and a half lines. Making his record then, in my opinion to be pretty irrelevant now. When at Sheffield he won the league in his first season...

Thommo has never been good on accountability, always throwing players under the bus and blaming female goal judges!!! Yesterday’s man!
