Need a favour from you guys. Go get the points.

[EMB]

We have a poor record at the skydome, just hoping our fortunes have changed as Blaze are on a bit of a roll.

I'd love to help the Storm playoff push but we can't win in the skydome unfortunately.

[PantherG]

Brian Stewart injured in Fife, was pulled. It might be precautionary.

And Weber didn't go tonight either,don't know why.

His wife is pregnant and is due to give birth

Weber distracted and Stewart injured sounds good to me (hopefully not too serious, just a niggle before all Panthers games).

I'd also like it so that the Storm fairytale can go on and the Blaze can fluff it up! It's now 3 successive 4-point weekends now so the Blaze have to be looking over their shoulders.

[endisforever91]

We'd be ahead of them if the Steelers hadn't bottled their games against the Blaze.

If Stewart is injured for Wednesday then that is brilliant news for us!

From the Blaze website ""Stewie is OK and he will be fine for Wednesday against Nottingham. He came off as a precaution and Marrzy did a good job in his home rink."

Still think we will pick up a win, we are due one at the Skydome. Looking forward to it.

[John Casey]

Hopefully we can win this one, Our GB players might be a bit tired though. It would also be nice to help the Storm out as well seeing how much entertainment they have given the Panthers fans this weekend.

I am sure little Weber came along in December.

[The Flying Shirt]

I think we have played at the Skydome several times this year when Stewart has been injured / carrying an injury.

[Caesar]

I think this game will define the rest of our run in. Win at an in form Blaze and confidence will rocket. Lose and it's all over

[fishman]

Will Kolnik be back for this one or is joining Linger at Brampton

Training in Nottingham today

[fishman]

Fifteen imports yes thats correct 15 for this game WOW

[EMB]

It is criminal tho' isnt it, we've been short all season & with injuries and now when its probably too late we have too many. watch him chuck both of these in tomorrow, should be a good match (hopefully)

[iginla]

So who are we sitting out for this one then ?

Madolora/Wiikman and ............Lawrence or Janssen i'm guessing.

[Yotes]

Doesn't sound like Quick will be here, flight delayed 24hrs due to a blizzard (they changed the story on the OS).

[jdizpt8]

Wouldn't leave Cam out of any game! Shooting ourself in the foot of we did. Guys know what's coming if they throw a cheap hit. He's a must for every game. I'm excited to see how he reacts to the hype of POFW when (yes that's right) we make the final four and go on to win it.

[iginla]

I'm just thinking about goals Jdizpt8.....losing Linger and say Lawrence takes out quite a bit of firepower.

But oh yes,if we get to POFW then Cam is going to be like a jack in a box with excitement. Lol

From the official site:

Meanwhile with all the imports on the ice at training today, including both netminders, the coaching staff will have a selection headache ahead of Wednesday night's game in Coventry in the league. The limit on the number of "imports" means there could be need for so-called 'healthy scratches' - a rarity in the UK but a problem coach Neilson welcomes: "I'd rather have too many than too few, that's for sure. Competition for places is good for the team, look what happened when we had someone of the calibre of David Beauregard waiting in the wings in Grand Slam year!"

Comedy gold! Who checks this stuff? Absolute sitting ducks, its almost like they're taking the Mick out of us.
CN your number is up for me!

[ashfieldpanther]

only Panthers could have a surplus of d-men and go into their next game short benched. Have we moved to get Swindlehurst available for this game ?
