I really hope the boys can take the momentum from these big European victories and roll them into this. We need to make a statement domestically. I think we will win but I want to see a nice big win.

I hope this isn't case of "after the Lord Mayor's show" like we have so many times in the past.
I even said to some mates after the game that it's going to be such a come-down after the last two...I hope the players don't take that attitude too!!
Gagnon might have a busy night.

Should be a cracker. Think this will be a very entertaining game and a sell out or close to it.
Hoping that Brisebois is back and that we are at full strength.

Looking at the highlights from Blaze V Steelers games this weekend we could be in for some rough stuff. |

I think this will be a barn burner!
I'm expecting Gagnon to send a message or two if they try and play tough.

Didn't Sheffield run Stewart last season, if so, maybe it was payback for that

Think this will be interesting, by all accounts this is a dirty team that takes no prisoners, the only difference this weekend is that DOPs will be called upon for any nonsense. Hope for that energy we have seen recently remains and that we win comfortably.

Really looking forward to this game and seeing how our boys adapt to domestic competition. Could be some rough stuff but seems like we have enough in our ranks to cope. Both teams will give it and take it like men though unlike certain other teams. Panthers win but expect Blaze to play a physical game and it won't be an easy one. |

Same player I think - Armstrong? I believe that one was Armstrong, one was Fitzgerald. It's interesting to note that the only team against which any netminders were injured last season was Sheffield... and that happened multiple times. But of course, nothing is ever their fault! <sarcasm> Paul Thompson was a dirtbag coach at Coventry and he's a dirtbag coach at Sheffield. Of course, it says nothing good about the players... but the major offender is 'Thommo'. Pity nobody can run him... |

Coventry look spicy based on their pre-season games. Should be a belter

Watched Sheffield and Coventry last Sunday, thought the game was pretty scrappy loads of players on both sides didn't ice but neither team are particularly fast hopefully we can exploit that. Coventry goalie Nasiuk is decent though

From what we've seen so far of our team and what I've seen of Coventry via highlights and match reports I'd expect us to get at least a handful of goals!! There D is poor, they have players out and we've got momentum and riding the highs of last week.

The thing that stands out most with this game is the fact it's the first of only 2 times we will see Coventry at home all season.
I believe this fixture is the biggest casualty of the new conference system. They often provide some of the most entertaining games of the season.

There are also potential clashes in both the CC and POs. It is a shame but at the same time many people complained that seeing a team four times at home was far too much. Personally it never bothered me. |

You can blame the tuppence ha'penny Scotish teams for this holding the league to ransom. |

Hopefully see noble beaten the crap out of. Blaze look a rough team but we have more than a few guys that are not going to stand for it. When we play steelers I'd love to see armstrong targeted all game big hits all night long

Very much looking forward to this game, hoping to see some (hell - a lot!) more of the magnificent performance against the CHL opponents being unleashed on Coventry. And "unleashed" is exactly the right word... there is a mouth-watering potential that they are just not going to know what's hit them. However... a note of caution. It is SO tempting to give in to the (understandable) euphoria over this team's above-the-call-of-duty display so far, and to think that we should be able to just stroll over anything domestic put in front of us. As if. British teams are better at disrupting their opponents' plays than the European teams - that is, after all, one of the major reasons we've done as well in the CHL as we've seen - so we can't just assume that any advantage that the Panthers may have in speed, teamwork, etc will automatically pay off. It may well do so, but quite possibly to a lesser extent. And there's always the 'play up (or down) to the level of the opposition' factor that we've seen so many times. Hopefully that won't be a factor - there really does seem to be a different feel to the whole team spirit so far, one that it is so nice to see... I think we'll win. I hope we'll win handsomely. But it's going to be a long season, and it can't have escaped the notice of our various opponents just what level the Panthers have reached. Banana skins of all sorts could be waiting for us, including this weekend. That having been said - hey, it's hard after all these years to remain completely optimistic, even with what we've just been watching! - here's hoping that we see the 'proper' NEW Nottingham Panthers this weekend. The team that out-skates, out-tries, out-plays and generally out-stubborns whatever is put in front of them. Here's hoping that Coventry limp back home late Saturday night thinking that they'd just faced the Nottingham Panzers - because we'd blitzkrieged their arses all over the ice!  |
