I talk Guildford Flames on @3on3podcastuk and @TheHeatedTake

McKinney v Ramsay @HockeyFightsUK

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@LordsOfTheRinks A thought - everyone talking about 5, 2 and 6, but the really bold/consequential move would actually be Doughty

A third pairing that doesn’t produce isn’t great but not terminal

A top pairing that doesn’t produce a much bigger problem. Drew trade could be transformative 🤔

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@LordsOfTheRinks hi mate - thoughts on PL as new coach? I’m pretty happy personally.

Although of course he needs D changes

A reflection for the day - Kopi scored 12 goals last season. If the new C scores 25 goals even, that’s a decent uplift, plus Fiala back. There’s hope

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@LAKingsCrowned And you miss out the biggest question - the D group

Needs major surgery. Will it get the surgery required?

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@LordsOfTheRinks 100% agree

If I’m being glass half full, my hope is that PL has joined on the understanding with KH that the D group is about to undergo major surgery.

If it doesn’t, it’s “DOA”.

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@AStanovich68 Let’s hope the new coach has demanded change to the D group as a condition of his appointment

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@JWPatarino I’m good with it, but most importantly, all eyes now turn to the roster…

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@FriedgeHNIC @DooleyLAK @LordsOfTheRinks

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Peter Laviolette will be the next head coach of the Los Angeles Kings

Edmonton and Toronto were also interested

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@DZoneLiability @LAKings874 Someone who could consistently get the most out of Byfield and Fiala (and others) would be a good start.

The new 1-2C is also going to be key.

Still need to trade ideally more than one from lumbering D group though before this team shows signs of life.

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@AStanovich68 @gollum89035427 Unfortunately Ceci’s contract is an albatross.

I do wonder if Angus Booth is also worth an extended look on the third pair

[EIHL Roster Updates @EIHLRosters]

Forward Nick Seitz, who iced last season with the Guildford Flames (@flamesicehockey), signs with Sydney Bears, AIHL, Australia - https://t.co/3S9zjfJQdu #EIHL #EIHLSigningNews

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@dailyeihl Favourite rather than best, just to confirm

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@Bgreeny77 @RyRy180 @flamesicehockey Agreed. Not the top pair PP1 guy we need, but hopefully that’ll come soon

Ideally he’s a Comrie replacement

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@JWPatarino @NHLRussell I’m good with it. Younger forward looking coach with a forward looking roster? Sign me up.

Memmingen holt Jamal Watson zurück in die DEL2! Viele Spatzen pfiffen es bereits von den Dächern, Eisblog-Infos zufolge ist die Tinte trocken. Aus der englischen EIHL kommt wohl ein alter Bekannter zum Aufsteiger. In Kaufbeuren damals Führungsspieler!

@NHLRussell Yup. But acknowledging it needs to be put right is a start.

It’s not an excuse but I’m also fairly confident Hiller wanted that sort of D man

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@AStanovich68 I’m gonna take the positive that he’s publicly acknowledging it

[Guildford Flames Fan @FlamesFanUK]

@Kopitar4HOF As @JWPatarino has said, the very cheap and forward looking solution to Dumoulin is right there in Booth. In house Ceci solution, not so much, but good to hear Brzustewicz is heading in the right direction. @NHLRussell
