Shout out to the officials . Turns out it’s possible to drop the puck on a face off without any dramatics

Only think I can find is ryan@manchesterstorm.com It’s labelled as info@manchesterstorm.com on the terms of service section of the tv site but I when you click on it you get ryan@manchesterstorm.com

If you’re going to charge £16 for the stream at least upgrade the 28k modem

Agreed, I'd also add that players are given guidance on being responsible for their own safety by not turning or ducking on hits. I could sympathise if the refs didnt have the benefit of video review (and God dont they love hanging out there) but ANYONE seeing the video can the see the player...

That call is another disgrace, the player drops his head before contact giving Mcwilliam no time to pull out or readjust. If you want to attract the best players and have them play exciting physical hockey then we need to replace every single ref and bring in professionals. The game is being...

Nope, I’m afraid it wasn’t. You could see on the multiple replays on webcast it was not a check to the head . Commentary team called it out as well. The call on Sandford was poor and the official actually looks at the incident where the stick that was on the ice was purposely shot at Bownsey...

The standard of officiating is beyond amateur. If the league wants to continue progressing and improving then steps need to be taken to radically improve what we’ve got. Whether it’s the continual farce on faceoffs or calls like the Brandt one. Half of them weren’t even good enough for the NIHL...

£16 to watch someone with an iPhone stream via a 28k modem. To be fair , the atmosphere is electric . Like a half empty leisure centre on OAP Zumba night

Professional display and a lot to like . I would have given anything to see Brandt play that game though .

The standard of officiating has fallen way behind the standard of the league .

I'd also consider his age. At 27 he's not the finished article (appreciate he's not a rookie either) so it's possible management and coaches are looking at how much better he can get. From memory, Fournier was a similar age when people were criticizing his turnovers and positional errors...

Unfortunately, the level of officiating this season seems to stand out as being particularly poor. There's absolutely no reason to stop the Phelan and Batch tilt and everyone knows (including the officials) that if you are going to step in then it should never just be one lino . Also, if you...

Just watched the highlights to make sure I hadn’t imagined it first time around but how on earth do those two goals get washed out ? Even the steelers commentator is stunned . The quality and importance of games like that is just undermined by extremely poor officiating

Agreed , though in many ways it’s actually worse than that. His stick starts on the ice so he actually takes it off the ice to make the cross check . The very definition of intentional and when aimed at the back of the head neck has a high probability of injury if not serious injury . I’ve no...

I’m not one for calling out the officials but that has to be one of the worst displays I’ve seen in a long time . They play a huge part in letting the game get out of hand . Franny predicted what would happen during the period break interview on the live stream , calling out the intent to...

You're correct in as much that it's a matter of opinion whether players jump into fights, but really its only a matter of opinion for the fans. For the players and what happens in that team, there's no debate or opinion, only what's expected and demanded. I can guarantee you that every single...

I'd also look at Crandall's 200ft game. Being a top 6 forward isn't just about putting points on the board but being defensively responsible enough to play against the other teams top 6. For me, he looks massively improved here, picking up guys and backchecking with a purpose when we've lost...

I dont think you need to guess though, Steve clearly states that the reason is down to it being 5 years since the last time he was asked.

By stating that "Hopefully this interview isn’t a reaction to the current situation" you're implying that reason for the lack of interview was down to Steve ...but I think you know that already.
