Yes, tis true, this is an actual update!
OK, it isnt the play off write up (my personal life has taken precedence lately), but it is a few musings on how the off season is shaping up.
Now, like almost everyone else, I was a tad disapointed to see some of last seasons squad choose to move on rather than defend their title, but if we continued on with the same squad, I honestly could see us being overtaken as everyone else would know where they needed to strengthen their squad.
Having said that thank fuck Ladzi is coming back. Huegely popular, and 110% dedicated to his job, having him back gives the D a solid core, alongside long time Phoenix player Luke Boothroyd. And the new signing... well, I ain't complaining one bit! Koulikov should prove to be too much for most EPL level D men to handle, so despite loosing Huppe to Guildford the goals should keep piling up. Mind you, with TH feeding the puck I think that even I would be good for about 30 goals!
Other than that there is a public meeting of the SC coming up, which I sadly am unable to attend due to prior commitments (yes, I have a life beyond hockey... weird, isn't it?). And we are awaiting next weeks 'big signing' news. Rumours seem to be pointing to a return to the Phoenix fold for Joe Tallari, and/or the arrival of Martin Cignel from the Edinburgh Capitals... I'll take either thanks! Cingel has been a standout for the Caps despite their mass of off and on ice problems, and we know what Tallari is capable off.
Aaaaannd, thats it for now!
Laters!
