Give this one to Gospel and let Garnett rest up ready for a busy night against Turku.

Manchester are top of the league you know...

CC game so I expect Gospel to start. Him starting in Sheffield was a sign he is likely to get all the CC games. As he started him there i'm sure he'll get the rest. At least in the group stage.

More than happy to see Gospel given this one.

I want us to win, but if we don’t it’s not the worst game to lose. Looking forward to seeing Manchester after their recent results

[Deleted]

Gospel is good enough to get the win here! Start him

[jdizpt8]

Manchester seem to be taking a lot of penalties so far this season so hopefully we get the PP clicking like last night and take advantage. I can see a few gloves hitting the ice as well in this one.

[deke]

Hot and cold power play. Some were good some was so bad it was stupid on one they scored and the other they had more shots

[EMB]

Looks like a good crowd from Manchester are coming they've just announced a sell out on their supporters coach. Looking forward to this one.

Brisebois back in the line up tomorrow.

Who is going to be left out?

My guess would be Clarke, unless someone is carrying a knock

I imagine they'll leave Lindhagen on D and manage Brisebois minutes for his first game back

nobody needs to be left out do they? Can't we just have Clarke as a spare 13th forward?

[wgray]

We've got our full 14 imports playing.

We can have 5 senior Brits- Lee, Lacho, Farmer, Perlini and Clarke.

Then we can have three u23 Brits - Betteridge, Gospel and another.

That makes our 23.

Clarke should be the 13th forward, if he benches Ollie instead then that would be ridiculous. On performances so for Clarke hasn't been to standard.

22, but yes you're right.

I'd imagine we'll see rotating lines, he won't have a designated spare. If he does it defo won't be his favourite

doh!😂

I'd rather he didn't rotate them to be honest, unless of course a line isn't clicking then it's a good idea to introduce someone new.

[deke]

If we have to drop Clarke. Ollie has looked good, very feisty and very hard working

[sevcik]

Both Swindon & Bracknell have games this weekend so it's highly likely they will play for those teams and not Panthers.
Taking them out of the equation and assuming everyone else is fit as the club has said then that would give us a bench strength of 21 not 22
That would leave us 13 forwards (if you include Mosey & Lindhagen) & 6 d including Brisebois (+ the 2 goalies)
My guess is Neilson will want to manage Brisebois ice time given its scheduled to be his 1st game back from injury so he will probably manage his minutes by alternating his shifts with Lindhagen or Mosey. That way we would also have 4 complete forward lines without the ambiguity of a 'spare' 13th forward.
Knowing Neilson though it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he did something completely different.
To be honest as long as we win the that's what counts.

Good game so far, lots of intensity. At times Panthers look like their on the powerplay. Wish they could do it when actually on the powerplay!

[wgray]

Easy win for the Panthers, I don't think we got out of first gear obviously with Turku coming up.

Corey also played it well by rotating the 7 defenceman, we looked a lot more solid tonight defensively and hopefully this will pay off for Tuesday to.

Finally, Hicks, he was atrocious, missed calls galore.

[panthersdave]

How did Brisebois do?

he did fine but had limited minutes. As expected.

solid enough, no mistakes, just what we need

[wgray]

The powerplay was terrible again tonight, Corey needs to try something different either tactically or with who gets PP time. A start would be to take Clarke off it and give Mosey his PP time, Clarke is a giveaway machine and Mosey is on neither powerplay unit currently

[Higgy]

While Panthers were the better team overall...if Storm could shoot on target we might have lost tonight,they had some great chances but kept blasting them over or wide,had they been watching a David Clarke video?

Powerplay wasn't very good but the PK was impressive again.

Lots of newbies in tonight who were a lot more enthusiastic than a lot of the usual people who sit around me!

[Pies]

It was a comfortable win and the score line flattered the storm. No need to do anything silly with the importance of Tuesday. Glad to get 2 points in the board in the CC.
