The run Kirky is on right now is absolutely barbaric. Guy puts the puck in the net faster than Sheffield fans give up on their team after a few loses ๐๐ Iโm also hearing Fife is pursuing bringing Kirky in for a big playoff push

I think itโs absolutely comical that Team Europe players were tossing American fans out of the course at the American hosted Ryder cup. Could you imagine being an EIHL player and being able to go into Sheffield and just kick any fan you wanted out the arena??? Itโs diabolical
@Sportsnet@kbieksa3 having to sit there and listen to the whole panel disagree with him when they are wrong was tough, pass was for Kane, got lucky it got through to Ekholm probably hit Bobโs stick
Regardless of your view of Danny Stewart as a player (probably not a good one because even in practise he would cheat when heโd join drills), but I think itโs long past time he starts getting the recognition he deserves for the coach he is, turned Nottingham around in one season
Saw a grown man walk into the airplane bathroom at the end of a 9 hour flight with no shoes or socks on, the things you see while travelling #lockhimup
Reaction to this #4nations Championship game between USA & Canada
That was fucking AWESOME
What a win for hockey & congrats to Canada (I will be eating waffles with maple syrup tomorrow as a man of my word)
The @CanadiensMTL have the best goal horn in all of hockey and I donโt even think itโs close, just hits different when Crosby in a Canadian jersey is part of it as well
@Sid_Seixeiro I think the Toronto fan base needs a little criticism and maybe theyโll listen if it comes from their captain. That was an electric fight and it barely got a buzz in the arena. Night after night itโs a morgue in there and we are suppose to be one of the best fan bases in the NHL?
Leagues like Slovakia/Austria get less fans than the EIHL but can pay 2-3x more because they arenโt relying mainly on ticket gates but have big tv deals and big corporate sponsors. The EIHL has the fan base and the numbers it just needs to monetize it much better
Players wages need to go up (especially bottom end), 4-5 rinks need to be replaced, 1-2 more teams added, improved reffing, play games Friday/Sunday and less imports. Do all those and the EIHL can become a very respected league in Europe. Mainstream media coverage goes a long way
Recently published data shows ice hockey as the fifth biggest team sport in the UK for fan attendance - and sixth place is a long way behind.
Maybe the mainstream media will start to cover the game more positively and comprehensively one day โฆ :)
Cuz always loved the Storm Shelter for its showers and the fact he never had to back check very far, but now I think heโs got a new reason to love it! Congrats @curran14 ones a fluke twos a streak #hottestteamintheleague
You truly canโt be this dumb? Why of all the vehicles on the road would you try and hit the 18 wheeler??? Insurance is hard to collect when youโre a pancake
Come on Cuz! First game as a head coach and itโs against his former team? Is the whole EIHL routing for him? Will they rename the town if they win? Will his name go down in the annals of Scottish history where man turns into legend? Itโs Curran hockey time! Letโs go! @curran14
@franciscellis Entertaining the whole way through Sir Francis, and somehow holding it all together when everything had just gone disastrously wrong for you, I tip my cap to you
