Big game, looking forward to this one. Should be a really good crowd.
Hoping for SS to be on the Ice and maybe a surprise Big Ern appearance.
Panthers 3-1.

Looks like a classic case of attack v defence. Looking at the rosters Cardiff are likely to arrive with 10 or 11 import forwards compared to our six in all likelihood. Think we are going to need to play this like a road game and soak a lot of pressure up and look to hit on the break. Sounds like Fournier missed last Sunday so they look potentially a little light on D so need to make the most of those chances. That said they just look to have too much firepower up front. Devils by 3.

Do they look better on D than last season, I'm not so sure from the few highlights i've look at, and Storm beat them 4-2 in Manchester?
4-2 Panthers

Given our respective lack of firepower like others have previously said i'll be surprised if Devils dont win by 2 or 3 sadly. We will have to rely on our defence which looks very good & also Miika keeping us in the game.
Still theres always hope as Bowns may have one of his less than impressive games which happen from time to time and their bottler of a coach is still there.....

Yes but if you have the potential firepower they have they could quite easiy go out and win a high scoring game 8-7, 9-6 or whatever if they need to, whereas we dont appear in spite of the weekends results have the firepower to do so. Its ok just conceding 2 or 3 goals in a game but we also have to be anle to do that and I doubt we will be able to do so against the stronger teams- sad but true. Hopeim proved very wrong..and very soon. |

Panther's have been great on the PK, will Stevie Lee be back and what about Schultz?
If Panther's do loose, so long as they have not capitulated without a fight.
Is it me or do Panther's seem to be playing a more regular lines?

McGrattan is 'highly unlikely' to be here but has been calling Corey to stay updated on how the team is doing, which is brilliant to hear.
Asselin, Martin & Layne Ulmer are the ones to watch for Cardiff, they've all been very good so far. Our defense has been limiting shots for the opposition quite well but i think we'll struggle against Devils. Not to say we will lose but it'll be an uphill game, hopefully we come out the blocks quicker and strike early on, put Bowns off his game.

Keep them to the walls and clog up the middle, close angles at the point ans use our speed in transiton and we win. With a team stacked in offensive talent you have to frustrate them and make them skate to their own end. An advantage is we can play Lindhagen on the wing if Schultz is out and Lee is fit. We should be taking some positivity after this past weekend and just because they have firepower doesn't make it effective. If Storm can shut them down then there's nothing to say we can't either.

Then making it personal. |

There seems to be some underlying issues at Csrdiff. After Hendrikx fighting Lord on Sunday and the TH refusing to shake Lord's hand at the end, there was an interview with AL where he denied he had tried to get the visa of Jay Rosehill cancelled. Thomas Kurka, who played for the Devils,last year, has come back backing TH's actions. Kelman has basically responded saying Kurka shouldn't throw stones in glass houses.
Interesting to see if it effects the on ice performance but some things a miss in Wales currently!

Then making it personal. I disagree regarding positivity on this forum, but that can be debated on a separate thread. I do however agree with your comments reference the game at hand. Very much looking forward to this one. |

Can't wait. Been about 87 years since the last game.
Always enjoy games v Cardiff, close to the edge at times but generally hard but fair games.
Tough to call. We could be looking at injury problems already.
Oh well, got to be positive, 3-1 Panthers.

I think it'll be close, low scoring, maybe have our first look at 3 on 3 overtime.

They are well known for choking... |

The issues at hand aren't of my concern personally, they should be sorted through PM but as you say, that's for another place and time. As for the game I'm just excited for hockey to be back, hopefully the crowd is in good voice and we come away with the points. (I'm internally screaming for Time To Go to be the entrance song for fear of another shambles of an entrance) |

Latest OS says Schultz is a doubt for this game and Lee will be further assessed after on ice sessions, think we may see a low scoring tight game which could go either way.

Think this will be a belter, two very good teams going for it big time.Selfishly I want my team to take it but It will be very close. It's going to be one hell of a season this year, hopefully the best ever. Anyway good luck to you guys, not too much obviously, but hopefully we will all have a great season and enjoy our weekend fix.HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS.

I think you could probably just about getting away with wanting your team to win without being called selfish 😉 |

Imagine how pumped the arena would get if the team was being announced and then we heard:
"AND WEARING NUMBER 13 BRIAN MCGRATTAN"

But if he is here in time to play,i can't see Panthers missing the opportunity of telling us beforehand to try sell the last few tickets. A first game sellout would be great. |
