Lawrence missing this is a bit of a blow..... time for Carter to step up perhaps.

Im glad we have this game first, as Manchester could be a bit of a battle again.

Two tough games, like they always are no nights off this season that's for sure. This season could easily be the toughest for awhile.

Tough game, Wiikman must get the start for me, if fit.
We're missing, Clarke, Lee, Oakford, Schultz and Lawrence but it does say Kalus will be available.
Any decent Brits left on the market?
The timing of Oakfords departure could not have been worse....

The timing of Oakfords departure could not have been worse.... The press release about the shift of the back says paperwork is complete and he will play. So Kalus in for Shultz, then Lawrence, Clarke and Lee also out. When you wish the EIHL had better ties with the EPL and had players and two ways they could call up at any given time!! |

I like the quote from Corey in the post along the lines of "the points on Saturday are the priority, then we'll find a solution for Sunday"
It's refreshing to actually see us prioritising the league, I would happily sacrifice the challenge cup points to ensure we get he league points on Saturday.

It's completely the correct outlook & makes anyone suggesting playing the back up nettie in this game look a bit of a wally. My car & house are secure. |

Looks like our Brit-pack has diminished down to Lacho, Farmer and Ollie for this weekend (Green potentially backing up?)

The word 'back up' does not do Pacl justice, not even an ounce. He's of similar or better quality than the netminders of probably half/a third of the teams in the league. Age and initial point of his signing doesn't mean he is of not good enough quality to start a few games. Look at it bluntly, Miika shipped 5 against Storm.. Pacl shipped 1 against Devils who have been touted since August to have the most destructive forward core. That probably is looking at it in a non-suitable way but Pacl's hot, Miika's annoyed. |

It's obvious, blindingly so. |

It does do Pacl Justice, he is our back up goalie, he may be on par with other netminders in the league but not wiikman, 1 good game doesn't make a hot goalie. Wiikman is our #1 so he should start the league game, no question! |

100% Wiikman starts this game.
Nothing against Pacl but Miika is our number one and the league has to be our priority.
We just need to win, couldn't care if it's a dour backs to the wall low scorer or a high scoring affair. Just win! Oh and no more injuries.

Not much to get excited about but a win is a win is a win. Dean Smith missed some stuff yet called some soft stuff on Big Ern, the phantom slashing call was a particular highlight. Here to see the players Smith, not you. Just saying. Two points in the bag so got to be happy. |

As they say North of the border, "That was pish"
But as Ted says a win is a win.
And Smith was doubly pish!!

Thought 2-1 flattered Dundee massively. We hit 3 pipes and only had 1 and a half PPs to their 6 (shockingly I might add).
I've been going to Panthers since 2009, the days of Carson et al. Carson used to get slated regularly but I definitely remember him doing a good job at least once, I cannot say the same for Smith. Every time I have had the displeasure of witnessing him officiate he has had an absolute mare. He is just woefully incompetent as a hockey referee.
Good to see that we overcame so much adversity/things not going our way and still winning. A satisfying result, one that in seasons gone-by we may not have got.

We did what we needed to do,obviously struggled without our injured goal threats but Dimmen's shooting was on fire!
Dundee scored a great goal but apart from that they didn't offer much.
Some of the calls Smith made on Mcgratten were shocking,he clearly thought it was easier to have him in the box than on the ice! Brian bossed that game the Stars players didn't want to go near him! He also showed he can play with some good plays and puck handling.

Never understood people talking about the "Darnell show" when Smith and his "Short man syndrome" is far far worse.
Good win Panthers. Another job done and dusted.

Dundee had lots of try, as Dave Tippett would say, but didn't seem to have the quality to convert it into anything.
We were OK. Carter could start popping a few in sooner rather than later. A 2 points is 2 points night.

Ugly game to watch but an important win short benched. We never looked like losing and Big Ern gets better with every game.
Dimmen has been excellent so far this season - a massive improvement on last year.
Carter just can't buy a goal currently but when the team is performing, we can afford to let him find his feet and his form.
We got the 2 most important points this weekend and with only one league game next weekend, we are in and excellent league position
