Hopefully we get the combination of the Defence that we saw against Cardiff along with the Attack that played against Sheffield. As this is a CC game and we are away to Coventry in the league the next day, who gets the start in Goal for this one?

If they want to keep fans happy it would have to be miika starting. We lost to Sheffield already I don't want to lose on home ice

I'm thinking they've got no choice but to start Miika, if only to produce a performance to make the fans happy and get a win against Sheffield. Whilst these are only CC games, it will reach the point in which we genuinely DO need to start getting some points or we'll end up too far behind! We can't always complain about our team being tired, I'd hate to think what they'd feel like towards the end of the season when every game is a must win.
Can't see McGrattan starting this game, even if he comes over to Nottingham by then. I reckon this will be a Panthers win though, Corey will not allow them to lose twice in a row against the Steelers!?

So are we going with the ultra defensive mode again against the Steelers,as its a home game ?
I'm really struggling with believing that was our starting game plan last Saturday.

It's just a pity Panthers couldn't admit it and instead gave the fans a whole load of waffle about our superb defensive game plan ! |

I agree with you over lots, sometimes though you seem to expect far too much. Do you do this on purpose?! |

They won't ever admit we were outdone no,that's what's so annoying. The only thing i ask for is to win,or give it their best shot,i want to be the top team Panthers should be,not second best. I don't want to get beaten by Fife,dominated by Cardiff and get seven put past us by Sheffield ! Don't think that's too much to ask. |

I do not know what game you were watching but i guarantee that was our game plan. Our bottom 3 lines held the red line all game and the D was sat deep, we were playing trap hockey. Dump outs and reset the trap, it had nothing to do with their forecheck we kept them to the outside and let them cycle with no clear lanes.
It was almost identical to how the Penguins started their campaign last season it does work if everyone pulls into team defense. We stepped more against Sheffield because they don't carry 12 forwards all with offensive power.

Well if Panthers are going to play the trap, I hope it works out as effectively as it did for NJD regarding championships.

Well, this game just got a whole load more interesting if McGrattan is going to be here to play! Should be a cracker.

We hope its a cracker but being realistic I'm not expecting huge things from him this weekend. The guy is flying in from holiday, he's not match fit and he'll have jet lag. Believe me I'm hoping I'm totally wrong on all accounts and he plays a blinder just like Cam did. But soo many times we have been left disappointed so I shall be in the wait and see camp. Just can't believe he's coming to our league Cam & Moran must have sold him a very good story.

He's been training with the Flames all summer, since the NHL camps are getting underway i'd assume he'll have continued training elsewhere over the last couple weeks but around his vacationing which isn't surprising or disappointing. He'll be fit but not tuned up to Corey's tactics so i wouldn't expect him to play a big role unless Steelers start playing aggressively. He'll do fine, he'll no doubt be straight on the ice a couple times when he arrives and then again on Saturday Morning. With the buzz that he'll get when on his way out the tunnel and when he gets his first shift i'd then expect any jet lag to be overcome with excitement and then for him to want to keep the crowd alive

I don't care how many shifts he has as long as we see him in a tilt against Fitzy.

Come on, everyone knows we got absolutely dominated and exactly how we kept Devils out is something that i'm sure baffles Corey as much as us! Definitely no complaints from anyone in Nottingham but we got exceptionally fortunate to take the 2pts. |

It's funny how we can't be unlucky if we lose, as there is no such thing as luck according to some, but we can be lucky when we win......

To be fair Shorty,I doubt there can have been a fan in the arena who felt the best team won,we got battered. But fair credit to Panthers they ground out a good valuable win. Seriously though,you can't keep,playing like that,especially at home. Even when the poor Caps teams of the past came into the NIC they had more than 13 shots. The worry is can this team play a different game and can Miika stay fit....I don't think they can. |

Admittedly that is usually more applicable to a season long campaign as opposed to a solitary game but we seem to be dealing with extremes at the moment. |
