Sorry to read that, I really liked Grasso, but it never quite seemed to click so I can understand him wanting to try something else if an opportunity arises.
The Belfast Giants can confirm that Patrick Grasso has decided to head back to North America for the remainder of the season. We wish Grasso all the best and thank him for his time as a Giant. #WeAreGiants

I don't know why, but I immediately assumed Steelers...
Sounds like Milan Lucic is taking his game overseas. I'm hearing he's signing with a club in the UK's Elite Ice Hockey League.

I love Kawaguchi, but this is a bit much...
Not sure how but Jordan Kawaguchi has retrospectively been awarded the @BelfastGiants' third goal (and therefore a hat-trick) against the Glasgow Clan on Saturday... ... when he wasn't even on the ice. Okay then. #justiceforgarrettmcfadden

This is hilarious... Player happy at his club asks for over the odds to uproot his life in order to move to another team at the other end of the country and Alex Sanderson somehow sees this as odd behaviour! Nice work from @neilfissler to get that level of honesty.

Miserable weather on the morning commute but at least I have the @AVFTB lads for company.

the dozen or so people who actually read it might notice that for the second Monday in a row there's no #PWRPoint from me. Getting a post out for Monday morning is awkward and, honestly, nobody was reading it when I did, so I'm taking a bit of time to work out the way forward.

A little over a month into my new job, head slightly frazzled and struggling to carve out time for writing at the moment... Enjoying it, but hoping to find the balance again soon.

a bit of a random one, but having been in Toronto during the first couple of #BlueJays playoff games I have found myself caught up in the excitement of their run. Anyone have any good podcast recommendations for keeping up with the team as a baseball newbie?

Still buzzing from last nights Giants win? Give this a little read 😊

I quite like having Goodwin & JJ as the "extras" here. So easy to rotate in either one of the lads playing centre or the likes of Lake or Kawaguchi to pick up some extra shifts. Never nice to be short benched, but this seems a good way to make the most of what is available.
Whistle starts for the @BelfastGiants against Cardiff tonight, Piccinich and Goodwin on the fourth line, Long still on defence Eriksson-Conway-Smith Kawaguchi-Gaudet-Grasso Lake-Guay-Whistle Goodwin-Piccinich Boudrias-Lee Irwin-Hanson McFadden-Long Whistle Gravel
