dull.... even the fights were non events. Ill take a dull win over an exciting loss though.
agree with Panther D man, Lepine should have a put a stop to any targetting of Levers. Levers hit was nice and clean, Hicks thought so too being right on top of it. Disappointed in him for that reason tonight

I think the most amusing moment of the night was when Levers got done for high sticking on one of the Hull players and said to him something along the lines of 'I hardly touched you, you f'in pussy'

Levers hit looked to me in Block 9 as though Rodin just caught his shoulder pads in the face. Not a bad hit just an unfortunate accident. Rodin even seemed to acknowledge the hit wasn't bad next time they lined up for a face off together patting Levers on the shoulder.
What really angered me was levers "roughing" penalty. Yet another example of refs handing out "even" penalties after any form of altercation. Levers wanted nothing to do with the guy and didnt give anything back. Just hung on and looked to avoid being punched. Then to give balance penalties Levers ends up with a penalty for nothing just to avoid any team being on the PP. Really frustrates me that the Hull player tries to instigate a fight with an unwilling participant and the penalties are called even. Clearly sent a message to the other Hull players that they could start fights as they pleased after. Fortunately some instigators were called later!

I like Chamberlain. Good to see a young Brit kid play with an edge like he does and him taking an instigator didn't do his team any harm at all. 5-0 down with 3 mins left there is no better time to take the instigator.
Can't really comment on the game as I only saw the last 10 mins but from what I've heard I saw the best part of the game.

I don't think Levers wanted to fight Chamberlain, which is fair, seeing as he is a kid. Personally I wish he had beaten 2 s*its out of the lad, because it would stop him skating around like he is untouchable.
Didnt think Clarke has a good game, he failed to even connect with a number of 'easy' shots.
Meyers fought well, surprisingly, and the Panthers yet again play very professionally, and impressively. Big test tomorrow.

I saw that differently as im sure Rodin was saying to Hicks that it was an elbow

Levers hit was nice and clean, Hicks thought so too being right on top of it. Disappointed in him for that reason tonight With his elbow. Yeah, that hit did look a little dodgy... both sides got away with a fair bit tonight, and that was one where we got let off the hook, I think. Must admit, as soon as I saw Danny Meyers in a fight, I was yelling at him to stop - horrible visions of his shoulder going again, but thankfully not the case (phew!). No idea what Chamberlain thought he was doing, but Levers handled him nicely. Some people near me were wondering if Lepine would drop the gloves... but on the Hull team, surely only Campbell would come close to doing that, but wisely decided not to... old Soupy is a bit Oxtail at the best of times (cow's backside) but if he went with Gui, he'd probably be more Vegetable! How Boucher didn't get the Hull MoM is beyond me... 57 saves he made, a fair number of them absolute corkers. Got to hand it to the guy, he's one hell of a shot-stopper. Speaking of goalies, has anyone else noticed how much more confident K-Wall looked handling the puck outside of his crease? That was looking like his only major weak spot earlier in the season, but he seems much more assured about it now... no bad thing. Good choice of Matt Myers for MoM (almost impossible to knock off the puck) although Fox, Francis, Benedict and Lee could all have been in with a shout as well. Have to say... we were all making jokes about Pease (Greenpeace called for a whale on the ice, etc) but he's still got the stick-handling skills, even if his skating isn't so hot (checking team-mates, etc). But ye gods, he's a bit... errrr... how do I put it... podgy? I mean... I've heard of pease pudding, but that was starter and main course as well! Perhaps not the best of games, Hull didn't trouble us much offensively... but had its moments. And 2 points, with another shut-out for K-Wall, is nothing to be sneezed at. Just hope we don't have another injury worry with Fox going off clutching his arm from that errant slapshot. Looked painful...

Makes a complete mockery of the old 'league wants to develop young Brits' argument when teams keep wheeling out pease. Why didn't gb make he Olympics again? Freaking joke, up the number of imports please.

Let me think... because they get sod-all support, investment, training time, actual ice time before the Worlds, etc etc? I'm glad you say that's a freaking joke, because upping the number of imports won't do any good at all...

Glad to hear that idiot Chamberlain got what was coming to him. He swans about the rink like he's something special throwing uncontrolled hits and trying to start fights with players.

I thought he did what he had to do, Levers threw a cheap shot at one of their players and Levers wouldn't make himself accountable for what he did even letting one of his team mates ( a much more valuable player) get in his fight. Chamberling went out and stood up for his team mate. If you cheap shot someone you should be ready and willing to be held accountable for your own actions and not letting someone else fight your own fight.

a few more years and i think Chamberlain will be making a big mark on the league... seems a good gritty player even for a 16 year old.. annoying as hell.

Thanks for the ballenced replies regarding Chamberlain, He is young, he will learn and yes he will get a proper beating, but you have to remember he is only 16 , I cant wait to see what he is like in 5 years time , if he gets the ice time he is recieving at the moment . He is like a breath of fresh air , he plays with an edge that all other fans hate, but you cant knock him for not having a go, everytime he has had a fight he has taken his face mask off. Some people on here who are having a go for wearing a face mask, were obviously not around when Simon Hunt was a teenager...

He's not very good though. Another player elivated because of his nationallity.
Glad Levers gave him a few tasty shots, shame it wan't LePine.
I think he'll end up at sheffield, he's their type of player. hope voth gets hold of him.

Scoobster if Chamberlain is a breath of fresh air not sure what you are breathing in at the moment. What I would say in the last match in Hull he wasn't bad and yes he is young but his stupidity cannot be ignored. In the previous match in Hull he was hell bent in clicking at Lacho to induce a response and other stuff - not playing ice hockey. The tactic seems to be from Cloutier that they cannot match Panthers for ice hockey, so try to drag them down - get penalised and then moan. I must admit the two trips I went on to Hull were good and that the closeness of the rink added something to the game.

Agitating is part of hockey, we should be - and were - capable of dealing with it.
If Panthers had a 16 year old chirping away at his elders and dropping the mitts, we'd absolutely love the guy.

If he is only 16 he still has a lot to learn. For a 16 year old though he seems to be doing fairly well, he skates well, only thing letting him down is him trying to act tougher than he is, but is that down to his coach telling him to target players ?. Neilson seems to work wonders wih the young ones maybe if he was his coach ....

I didn't think it was a cheap shot, his elbow may have been a bit high, but the fact the Hicks didnt call a penalty meant that in his opinion there was nothing wrong with it and if Rodin thought it was a cheap shot he had ample opportunity to take his own retribution. As for DM taking a fight for Levers, it looked like mckinley was going to jump him from behind so stepped in to protect a teammate. chamberlian might be a good brit player but acts like a chocolate starfish hiding behind his cage for much of the time while acting the tough guy with the likes of Lacho, but funnily enough not Lee, noticable that he was set for a fight before Levers was. Hull looked poor tonight and who picked harper as MOM, he did what exactly. boucher was far more deserving and if it had to go to an out player even pease was more worthy. He might be a little past it, carrying a few surplus stones and be a bit shakey on his skates but he put the ice time in and didnt make that make mistakes even if he was a bit slow.
