Would be great to see a good crowd of Panthers fans at the Storm Shelter, you are all most welcome.

Already a full bus coming. Love Manchester. Going to be a very difficult match in your barn especially with our shortages. But then again we thought that about the Cardiff match.

Should be a good game. You guys have one foot in the QF already so am hopeful of some revenge for last week... |

Challenge Cup only game, no reason to throw absolutely everything into this. Saturday is more important.
I'd expect Wiikman to start on the Sunday with Pacl in on Saturday. Wiikman may just get under the skin of Neilson, Pacha and Clemente again which would be a great benefit.
We'll have Kalus but no Schultz, Lawrence and Lee.

Why if Saturday is more important would you pick Wiikman for this game??? That's absolute madness.

Unless Neilson runs him for the check the other day and he winds up injured. I'd play them the other way round personally, Miika in the league, Henry in the cup. |

Wiikman let in five last week including a very soft one, so not sure his mind games worked all that well even if the game was won.

Pacl is a good goalie, coming off of a big win against Cardiff.. deserves his shot. Yanking a goalie after a very good performance is like benching someone like Nikiforuk from the PP.
Don't underestimate him purely because he's technically the backup and 21 years old. He's as good as several starters in the EIHL.
It's a personal preference to start Pacl on Saturday and Miika on Sunday. Challenge Cup in theory should be less intense (though may be not this time in terms of physicality) and in both games we'll have either Pacl/Miika as backup so if one concedes 3+ then the option is there to rotate.
If Neilson runs Miika, which he won't.. He's essentially a deadman. He tangled with McGrattan after a bit of act on his part, left the NIC with stitches and a black eye. If he touches Miika you can guarantee that he'll be 10x worse off and being a key guy for Storm, he isn't going to do that.
The 5 he conceded were mostly down to a bit of slack from the defence. Failed to clear the crease several times and got caught out by Storm on the rush. We know their tendencies now, we didn't before. They took the chances we gifted to them.

He made them lose their heads in a very comedic fashion, mind game worked fine had it not they wouldn't have been that riled up. As for the game i'd go with Pacl, don't fancy the idea of them running Wiikman and him being out for a stretch. |

Pacl will play Sunday, Wiikman Saturday.
I'll put my car & mortgage on it.

If he touches Miika you can guarantee that he'll be 10x worse off and being a key guy for Storm, he isn't going to do that. Having the nutter Penner didn't stop Cruikshank back in the day. Doubt he'd do anything that obvious, but in the heat of the moment, maybe he (or someone else) crashes the net a little too hard? I don't really see the point in risking it when we don't need to. I doubt Henry would see it as a slight either, especially if Corey told him he's getting the next night. To me it's more a question of Saturday's points being more important than Sunday (we're good in the CC, more or less), so we should play our better netminder, which I think most/all of us would agree is Miika? |

Storm don't do webcasts according to EIHL website. Missed opportunity for them I think with this game.

Storm coming off a 7-0 slaughtering in Fife, low in morale and dying to bounce back. Hopefully we can kill their dreams with an early goal or two

Hoping for another entertaining encounter between us and them tonight. Couple of early goals and keep tight at the back and we'll be fine i think personally. Then we'll watch them get frustrated and run into penalty issues which we need to take advantage of and lead to some entertaining antics.

Gotta be pacl no reason to risk him, Neilson tries anything let kalus and big Ern take turns till he gets the message. Even if they don't brown will happily take him. Let's hope storm players show more class and don't start spitting at our fans again.

1-0 Storm after the 1st. Mark Heatley with the goal.
Storm the better team so far, playing intense and getting stuck in.

Think Pacl would want that one back. He was furious with himself.

1-1. PPG for Carter, just 11 seconds into the 2nd Period.

2-1 Panthers, Farmer the scorer.
After being hit in the face twice in this game. Once at the end of the period, left him bleeding, and again a few minutes ago which also saw the wound split again.

2-2 at the end of the 2nd. Dziurzynski with the equaliser on a 5 on 3 PP for Storm.
The goal came just after Clemente had kicked the nets off for an unthinkable amount of times and then despite Pacl's net leaving it's moorings, the goal was given.
Much better from Panthers from what i've seen.
