Were we not shortbenched against the blaze? I seem to recall missing two imports, how about when we had a full team without injuries? Sheffield away, belfast at home (2nd game) those performances were shocking, surely anyone who understands hockey can clearly see hat we were much better with pope behind the bench. As for G Being treated the way he has, he brought it on himself, he got offered a wage cut coz he no longer player so we could bring someone new in and he declined and refused to work with pope, so what else was PR Supposed to do? He and all us fans surely knew something needed to be done and in getting rid of G I think its the right thing to do, is pope the best coach we could have? No one knows, time will tell
