So a bit of light hearted fun with a tiny bit of venting. Tell me a good thing about the Panthers, anything goes, something bad and finally a funny memory.
Mine:
The good: for better or worse for two hours on a game night nothing in the world matters and I have experienced every emotion possible in that time.
Thank you Panthers!
The Bad: the emabrrasing lack of respect for fans by the management
The funny: Sheffield taking a bench minor leading to a goal because they were all arguing on their bench delaying face off.

The good? Tough call but I'd go for the sheer elation when Jordan Fox scored the OT winner in the play off final v Belfast, clinching the grand slam.
The bad? Linked to the above, the downward spiral since that season. On and off the ice.
The funny? David Ling water skiing. Priceless.

Nice thread idea Nate.....
The good - The picture of Hilary sitting on Jordan's knee with all the trophies. Got through many a Kleenex that one.
The bad - Jordan not returning and then getting really fat, like really really fat. Have you seen him? Jeez lad.
The funny - Any time one of the end of first period skaters falls over on their ass.

The good- that night in Belfast when we won the league title, just seeing fans crying with happiness & afterwards in Rockies with all the players, Corey & Rick. Absolutely amazing and still brings tears to my eyes . thank you.
The bad- feeling the wee wee is being taken out of the fans even more so the bigger the fan base gets & knowing they don't give a crap about it.
The funny, - apologies first to the Blaze but you have signed some great goalies but oh my have they been complete fruit loops. I thought Hirsch was funny especially around the 6 goal mark but Stewy beats him hands down for losing the plot. Fabulous nettle tho'

The good - Simon Hunt.
Just seing Neikars elbow popping up over the edge of the boards constantly as he pumbels a Steeler during the bench clearance.
The feeling of finally winning the league.
Listening to the "great escape" goal(away at Newcastle IIRC to reach the playoffs) on radio nottingham and jumping around the living room like a loony.
The Bad - Singing "If you all 'ate the Steelers clap your hands" when getting battered by Sheffield at home.
Singing "Top of the league your "avin a laugh" to a team top of the league and likely to win it.
3 RANDOM FORWARDS JUMPING OVER THE BOARDS EVERY SHIFT.
The funny - watching Linger play the wind up merchant all night(Missing this a little this time around). Schulte getting what he finally deserved.
Im sorry. Couldn't stick to 1 each.

Good - ot winner against Belfast, I remember sitting in the stands screaming too many men just before it was given.
Bad - the fact the club don't announce anything about stuff, like last year, we implemented our own medical set up and facilities which is probably a reason for lack of money
Funny - linger water skiing or Danny Meyers doing laps of the ice on his return to the nic whilst playing for steelers. Simms was stood just below me, his face was a picture

Good - Kim Alhroos scoring the winning o/t goal in the cup final on Sheffields ice.
Bad - The completely two faced,arrogant and penny pinching ways of Panthers management.
Funny - The "Dave,are you listening Dave" entrance video,or Ryan Shmyr high fiving the whole Steelers bench after scoring a goal,and all the Steelers fell for it !

There's so many in all categories...
Good.. First playoff win for what felt a lifetime to b followed up 10 years later with a league title. Going to Wembley was immense...
Bad... Panthers apparently not caring about winning the league over profit compared to all our rivals. Not using the league win as a start of a dynasty after finally getting the formulae right then throwing it away..
Funny.. Selmar sorting out Rowe. Tait tripping up the goalie in the b&h cup final in Sheffield the goalie going ape and the goal standing... Funny times..

Good: Fox's OT winner at the playoffs grand slam season! I went mental and nearly fell down a few rows of seats!! Bad: That we've suffered since winning the league! Funny: Jason Hewitt allowing Richardson to get up after he slipped during a fight for Richardson to then drop him and split him wide open  ?? |

Good: A lot to choose from, including the Fox OT goal but for me.. The Challenge Cup Comeback Victory against Belfast in 2013-14. Kalus scoring the goal and then Kowalski? Saving the 3rd Giants shot.
Bad: Injuries and Fan treatment from 'management'
Funny: Linger's antics

Good:
-THAT Jordan Fox goal against sheffield in what was such an important and pivotal win during the final stretch of the grand slam season
-The continuously higher calibre of player CV we are seeing around the league
-Leigh Salters playing "wrecking ball" against Riga Juniors in Conti Cup and being told apparently by the referees to stop hitting them so hard. Lost count the amount of huge hits he threw that game, was great to watch.
Bad:
- Injuries, injuries and more injuries
- Our inability to continue what we started in 12/13 season
Funny:
- David Ling's first game at home to Dundee (12/13) - decided to have a drink from their goalies drink on top of the net - and watching Jeff Hutchins go mental afterwards as Ling skates off as if nothing happened.
- Watching Geoff Woolhouse attempt to skate the length of the ice to get involved in a brawl up the other end which he had no chance of influencing what so ever, and being escorted back by the linesman

Good thread idea Nate. Good - First leg of Mike Ellis' Challenge Cup final in Sheffield, hearing Jody Lehmann's wife had gone into labour and he wouldn't be playing, classic. - CHL campaign, especially getting to go and watch the Panthers in Hamburg. Bad - 2nd leg of Challenge Cup semi last year, no shots for the first 10 minutes or something on their emergency keeper, a ridiculous defeat from a winning position. Funny - the gallows humour when it all goes wrong  |

Good: Watching Rasto win us the 07 Playoffs. That was my first season. I remember it vividly. (Shortly followed by Ryan Shmyr getting two Steelers in a headlock thus taking them out of a scuffle at the end of the first period of the first leg of the Playoff Quarterfinals in 07.)
Bad: The team being damaged by preventable mistakes, such as no cover for injuries.
Funny: Chanting 'Team Hollywood' at Thommo when we were beating them at the NIC a few days after he dismissed our flashy squad.

Good: Too many for just one. Ahlroos, Amiens, Morzine, Rouen, Hamburg. Trophies galore etc etc
Bad: Lack of any recognition to the fans that are trying to do something good, for free, for the team (Cats Whiskers, NPHL etc)
Funny: Watching Rick Kozak avoiding everyone in a black jersey in Hull in his first game back from suspension. Especially funny when watching the 100% NSFW video on youtube.

Good - Kim Alhroos scoring the winning o/t goal in the cup final on Sheffields ice. Time stood still for a second then the crowd errupted
Bad - The loss of Mike Ellis despite a petition
Funny - The "Dave,are you listening Dave" entrance video

Good- winning the league, some of the quality players (too many to name)
Bad - The way the club "interacts" with fans, lack of media, utilization of the scoreboard (we could do so much more)
Funny - Hello Dave video. It makes me laugh how Sheffield celebrated massively when they beat us in the CC semi final and then lost at home in the final, Ling always chirping

Good - Alroos' OT goal in Sheffield i remember being a kid in that arena going so nuts i shed tears.
Bad - Need i even say.
Funny - The way Kalus would fake a cross check at any Steelers player and they would absolutely bottle it. Everything to do with Craighead. Fox's brilliant clip on Hewitt that turned the yapping chihuahua into a gymnast. Richardson battering Hewitt. Fox's deke turning three Steelers and the keeper inside out. The list goes on.
