Panthers have just uploaded a video which features all of the players wishing fans a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, some players said it in their native language! The video is voiced over by GM and only towards the end of the video does it make you think 'oh dear *facepalm* as they included a don't drink and drive feature which played the moment Hicks fell over after taking the puck to the face on repeat..
Check it out here;
- Full video - Hicks 'mocking' part
Merry Christmas!

Cringeworthy and crass in equal amounts.

Typical Panthers to be honest, nothing suprises me with them.

I think it's ok to love the game, follow your team and be critical OR you can just clap. I have seen Steelers production of their PO win.Not just the game but behind the scenes material , post match stuff etc.....all extremely good stuff. Pity we can't do the same.

Im pretty much on the same page as you with this. Our off ice product is so far off the mark at times you have to wonder how GM is still in a job. Using what happened to Hicks (REPEATEDLY) as some form of drink driving example was just tacky.

I'm not fussed about it UNTIL the drink-drive message which (a) made light of what at the time was a serious situation and (b) tries to make drink driving comedic by having footage of a referee falling over.
That was low, even for GM.

The video looks cheap and the drink driving message at the end is just crass.
Sorry guys.

Sorry guys. Don't be sorry it is everything you said it was! The players saying happy Christmas is good...then GM ruins it

I like it better than Panther Feet.
The merry christmas bit is fine, very nice to see and to see some players using their native language.
If there was just one clip of Hicks for drink driving, it could maybe pass as ok but the fact it's on a loop for 5-6 times is a bit daft really
Also not sure why Gary needs to promote the Sheffield games anymore... Promote the blaze game and get as close to a sell out as possible!!

GM could still do a very good job for the Panthers but they desperately need someone much younger and on the ball in the office to do this sort of thing properly. Great idea that looks like it was put together by a 6 year old on an iPad and the end was toe curling at it's absolute best.

It's the same with any general Panthers player interviews,always 30 odd seconds of nothing interesting.
It's like something we have to do,let's get it wrapped up quick though,but always done with little thought,as quickly as possible,dumb questions,the player always looks like a startled rabbit and then there's the look or feeling of .......was that it ? There is always,always time to get in the plug that good seats are still available for the next game though !
For the club who always self proclaims itself to be professional,compared to other clubs,our radio and tv interviews are very very poor and extremely dull to say the least.

Something that annoys me as well. Would like the chance to interview players for CWTV more often than we do...

God that was terrible and the Hicks part was in really poor taste.
I cannot understand why in this day in age, with fantastic technology at your fingertips, that they cannot produce something of quality.

It seems like some people have had the humour gene removed, regards the Hicks clip. For the rest of it just lighten up peeps, it is only a bunch of hockey players wishing us all a Happy Christmas. I doubt there were any awards up for grabs, for the production, but if we can find another stick to beat the club with then we might as well use it. Chill guys.
