GDT: Panthers 4:3 Giants (EIHL, 25/10/14)

[Yotes]

Game Notes 2-0, 1-2, 0-1, 1-0. Jacina, Robinson and Lachowicz score for Nottingham. Belfast replies from Lloyd and Peacock (2). Bruce Graham wins the game in overtime for Panthers. Higgins and Parent missing for Panthers. Kowalski returns from injury.

[BigLad]

Eeek.

This is the point at which we see how close we are to the giants and how much chance we have in the league this season. A win would be fantastic but I'd take overtime

[pantherman66]

This is not the time to see how close we are to the Giants, unless we magically ice a fully fit roster. A better barometer of our league chances is probably when we play Sheffield or Braehead, who I feel are the more likely dangers.

Agree with this, the team are following the same pattern as last year with injuries pilling up and I don't see a barometer until we are at full strength with a settled roster.

In fairness, according the various stories on the website K-Wall should be back, Benedict should too. Higgins and Parent are both question marks but we could be fully fit this weekend

Does Robbo's deal end after this game or the Dundee game on Sunday?

By my reckoning he will play both games this weekend. The NEP article on 14th October said he had signed for 6 more games:-

We've played 4 since that report so Stars away will be number 6

[Yotes]

So long as it covers the cheese & wine party.

[Shorty]

I don't give Edam about the party

[Yotes]

I just hope he goes Caerphilly on the wine.

From his interview after the Hull game with CTW it sounds like he is definately looking for a move back to the DEL, apparently left under abit of a cloud last year and wants to go back. Wants to play at a higher level for as long as he can. Shame for us really cos he's coming up with some cracking games recently

Some ex-Steelers players are invited too; heard that Drew Feta was going?

It's all been called off now though. Big explosion at the cheese factory apparently.

All that was left was a big pile of de brie

[Yotes]

Very Gouda, Ted. Time to stop the cheese puns though I think, they soon be-Camembert-able.

[Shorty]

I'm hoping for a relaxing time, looking at some art and listening to some R and Brie.

[Rob Scott]

Is it being held at the Stilton Hotel?

Yes, in the gym.

Eat your cheese then straight on the treadmill to cheddar few pounds

[Shorty]

I just went a bit Emmental when I saw he is staying for a couple more weeks.

[dreadface]

This thread keeps getting feta and feta.

[Rob Scott]

So as far as we know. Kowalski will be fit to play. Parent definitely out.

We could do with at least 1 of Benedict or Higgins being fit to play. Ideally both.

Cheese.

Hopefully both, we'll be needing all the more experienced (Mature??) players for this one.

I think you are all a load of Jacob's cream crackers - with just a hint of pork pie & pickled onions

Nah..,,mild and soft chessey comments.

[Rob Scott]

So the OS says Kowalski is good to go and sounding good on Benedict also. Higgins is down as doubtful.

Any other thoughts and anyone know who if anyone is missing for the Giants?

[BigLad]

Didn't we sign an extra import before all the CHL extras started arriving? Have they left already so that'd leave us with 11+1 dual when Robbo goes?
