GDT: Stingrays 0:4 Panthers (EIHL, 29/11/14)

[Yotes]

Game Notes 0-0, 0-3, 0-1. Lawrence, Higgins, Graham and Clarke for Nottingham. Mattias Modig returns with shutout. Panthers missing Kowalski but still full strength. Farmer and Turcotte fight in 3rd period.

[BigLad]

Overnighter in Hull. Go on then.

Based on current form, this is going to be a lot trickier than it should be given the gulf in finances.

If you can't make it up to Hull there will be a webcast. hullstingrays.net/live.php

[PantherB]

Corey is looking for us to bounce back, says we are 'just around the corner'

Also went on to say that Hull are a 'tricky little team who skate well and are dynamic, they cheat a little' - Interview on Panthers Website

Then he goes on to say that he is at fault for the recent results as he wanted to try playing as many fowards as possible, mixing them up each shift to get a bit of explosiveness and freshness out of them.. that caused the team to lose chemistry and he's looking to have set lines and improve chemistry in coming games.

Anyway, Hull are quite a tough team to play against like Corey said, they have the home ice but i've heard that there are alot of Panthers fans going up.. at least 2 coaches and then those who'll drive. Hopefully we can get the guys going and make them feel at home, i'll take 2 points from this game anyway possible.. preferably in regulation with a 5 goal lead but as long as we get the points i don't care if it's OPT or Shootout.

Could make the trip up to this one. Are tickets just available on the door?

[Yotes]

Would've thought so, but you could always buy before you go:

Where do away fans normally sit and is there anywhere to eat before the game nearby?

I believe it's block e IIRC and there's a shopping centre nearby with a few places to eat but you might as well just have chip spice in the arena!

[Shorty]

Chiquito is outside the arena, but can get busy. There is no allocated seating for visiting fans either.

I see we are aiming for "one point" in Hull tonight according to the Panthers o/s ! (;

[kezypanther]

Panthers winning 3-0

Goals from Lawrence, Higgins and Graham.

[The Flying Shirt]

Excellent win Panthers

[Pies]

We played very well tonight.Hull never looked like scoring and that was down to good d work and fantastic back checking all night.

[iginla]

That was a rather fine win.
Especially as Steelers orange army is being squeezed and squashed in Coventry too.

[Rob Scott]

Great stuff! A shutout is always more than welcome and great to see some of the import forwards amongst the points tonight.

[Mark]

More of this please. Starting tomorrow.

[panthers4ever]

Good win well played panthers

[EMB]

Every guy played very well tonight, Higgins was the main target for Hull they went for him all night long and then Farms stepped up to the plate to defend him. MoM was a tough one personally I'd have gone for Higgins but realistically could have been a few of them.For those that watched the webcast did you see that stick handling by Higgins in the last minute, totally sublime & proper showboating. Very good following of Panthers fans to Hull tonight aswell wouldn't be surprised if we had more than them. More of the same tomorrow please.

[Yotes]

Pretty sure that's our first shutout of the season, always good to see. Good result.

Our first shutout since 4th March last season (1-0 vs Cardiff).
Nice to see both Modig settling back in well and the imports stepping up to the plate on the goalscoring.

Even better seeing the Sheffield/Coventry result... the highest-scoring team (that'll be Them Up The M1 ) only netting twice on a massive 54 shots, and one of the lowest scoring teams (Them A Bit Further South ) whacking 6 past them on a paltry 29 shots! It's almost a pity StalinTalk has put up the Iron Curtain and stopped non-members from reading it... could be quite hilarious!

[kezypanther]

They are basically doing what our fans did last week asking for changes, things aren't good enough etc. if we thought we was bad last week they are top of the league and saying they want players replacing so maybe we are all as bad as each other.

For us it's a great result tonight just what we needed. Going to be tough game tomorrow vs Blaze. They are going to be high on confidence could be a great game.

[Shorty]

A very good result, and a strong team performance.

Modig settled back in nicely.

Our bunch of no hopers may go top tomorrow......

[Deleted]

Played very well tonight, Higgins took his goal superbly well, tbh nice goals from Lawrence and Bruce too. Nice for Modig to come straight back and get the shut out, looked confident

[ted logan]

Really impressive road win.

Earlier in the week CN said he'd be going with settled lines now. Seems like it paid off.

Nice shutout for Modig too.

I think putting words in peoples mouths covers this.. dont think any one apart from pidge are claiming they are no hopers just that as usual with panthers a h'apeth of tar and all that... a couple of good quality additions would fill those missing gaps and turn us into a real threat both in defence and attack something i generally believe (last nights result excepting) we arent quite there yet..
