That title is the vibes I got from reading what the Blaze coach had to say about the game tomorrow night. By all accounts the only way to beat the Giants is to choke the life out of the game. Sit back and defend, put five men behind the puck and try steal a goal or two. Opening up and going toe-to-toe with the Giants is impossible. These are not my words, but the thoughts of the Hull Stingrays coach Rick Strachan. Read More»

Of all the pun’s that can be used with the name Dion Darling, that was the best I could come up with! Pathetic. Anyway, what’s this all about you ask? Old man Darling is back in the Elite League and has signed a contract to the end of the season with the Cardiff Devils, the team he finished last season with. Calling him ‘old-man’ might be a little over the top, the guy is only 33-years of age but he’s been around so long it just seems that way. Remember his great scrap with Paxton Schulte back in the old days? No doubt he’ll strengthen the Devils blue-line as they look to make a run for the playoffs.

It was pointed out this morning on the KotG forum by my fellow contributer to the Kingdom of the Giants, Patrick Smyth (DWD) that Steelers goalie Jody Lehman and his wife had a baby girl. Very sweet isn’t it? Normally I wouldn’t pay this sort of thing much attention on this blog but it was the post made by a Steelers fan on the news of this event in the Lehman household that Patrick refered to that caught my attention and sent me into histerics.

Yes, some Steelers fan is pinning the Challenge Cup defeat to Nottingham mid-week on Lehman not being availble. Sure, they may have won with him in the line-up but this crazed fan is angry that Lehman’s wife Raquel choose to have her baby at this time.

Brace yourselves . . . Phsyco’s do roam among us:

“Disgraceful? tough! sorry to hurt such sensitive souls. If you are joe public then fine, family comes first, if you are a pro sportsman who talks about wanting to win trophies you have to walk the walk, I’m sick and tired of nice losers at the Steelers I want winners.

I have no problem with jody having wanting to have a family, how about timing to have them in the off-season or at the very least at the start of the season it’s not rocket science.”

I fear, I really do.
