I reckon Galbraith will start this one.
Whilst Garnett had a great game against Steelers, I think he deserves a night off.

ALL That matters is that we get 2 points in the bag. Doesnt need to be pretty at all.

Giants missing Vandermeer, Jarrett, Johner, Raine and Stephen Murphy....tough tough task for the Giants, but a point in this would be a great return

6 3 massively flattered the Giants. Looked exeptional for as long as we needed to(Aside the PP of course).
4 point weekend against conference & potential title rivals. Job done.

Exceptional first period, just wow. Seemed to coast the rest of the game but the game was won pretty easily. I understand Giants were missing players so its no true showing of what Giants are capable of but we looked unplayable in that first period.
Sauve's pass to Derlago was epic! Galbraith was very good tonight too.

Good win just a shame we didn't score a few more as Giants were pretty dire to be honest.
Galbraith had a good match I feel sorry for him conceding three especially the first off our own man!
Loved Billingsly's goal he is such a smooth skater with a fantastic shot
Hope the chap in block 14 is ok after taking a puck to the face!

Giants were only one import down. It's their lack of British players that's their weakness this season.

Is Whistle an import or a Brit?
Game was over after the first, clinical stuff. Bit like that game last year against Devils when we thrashed them, every finish was bang on in the first.
Galbraith looked good, bit unlucky to be on the receiving end of 3 against.
Good stuff Panthers.

He was born in Canada but isn't classed as an import as he played junior hockey here

Thing is... first period tonight was like first period last weekend... only this time we converted, against Sheffield we didn't. In both cases we totally out-skated, out-worked and out-shot the opposition.
Some of the play tonight was epic... and often it's the little things that go unnoticed by many. A perfectly-timed poke-check by Clarke to totally break up a Giants' attack at just the right moment... Spang completely wrong-footing one of their defenders as he got a nosebleed going past their blueline... some absolutely sublime stick-handling from Phillips (which he keeps doing over and over again, but nobody seems to notice!).
And then there were the bits that people did notice... Billingsly going coast-to-coast and scoring with seeming ease... Sauvé's incredible long-range pass to send Delargo off to score (although Sauve does keep on passing directly to opposition sticks SO often... talk about frustrating!).
And Galbraith... right now, Garnett remains the #1 for me, but Galbraith could easily be a team's #1 in this league... very impressed with him. Made some crucial saves, some very good split-second-reaction stops. Don't think anyone would have stopped their 2nd goal, though... a slapshot like that from close range? Ouch...
4 point weekend in the league - just what the doctor ordered. Yes, we let Sheffield have a point last night, unfortunately... yes, we took our foot off the pedal in the 3rd tonight and conceded another last-second goal... this needs to be worked on, although thankfully it didn't make any real difference this time... and yes, the powerplay is still abysmal. So there's a lot still to work on. But overall - good work, good results, keep on going!

Slick, quick and down rugtnincredible in that first period. Pretty much killed the game in the second and then cruised the third. Exactly what we needed - 4 point League weekend.
Solid throughout and never looked like losing. I’m hapoy!

Big weekend for us and if we've come out of it with an extremely convincing win, unplayable tonight, the game was over after the first!
Galbraith was excellent and made some big saves throughout, unfortunate to concede three.
Derlago, Mosey and Phillips played some excellent stuff, Derlago's goal was sublime from Sauve's pinpoint pass to the bullet from Derlago. It shows if he gets the chances he will put them away, I think that's where he's been struggling to pick up the goals personally.
Overall, every player was superb, terrific weekend and onto the next!

That's been the odd thing with Derlago. His career record suggests he can score for fun,but he just hasn't had many chances. Is he being played in a position he isn't used to or being asked to do something he can't one has to wonder ? |

Was at a wedding all day so missed the game unfortunately but sounds like a much more rounded performance tonight. A step towards putting in the kind of EIHL game that this side is capable of.
Still too early to really mean that much but looking at the league table we can be reasonably happy with our start to the season in comparison to other title rivals and I don't think we've ever really been out of 2nd gear. Plenty more to come from this side.
Does anybody know if last season we had any four point weekends against our own conference at all? Big weekend this one, stringing wins together is so crucial but to do it against your title rivals sends a big message.

I am still unsure about yesterday. For me there are three argument's.
1) We finally clicked in the first and started to put away our chances. We out shot them 14-8 and deserved our 4-0 great period of hockey.
2) Belfast didn't turn up till half way through the second period or only even the third. The second two periods Panthers were out shot 12-8 and 13-8. We actual lost periods two and three 3-2
3) We had the game won after the first period so the players relaxed for the next 40 minutes.
If we had played more consistently for at least 40 minutes I would think we had finally clicked. As Belfast looked terrible in that first period I am not sure whether it was us being amazing or them being so poor. I don't blame the players if they relaxed more in periods two and three as the match was won in the first.

Game was over after the 1st period, from there it was just a case of managing any Belfast resurgence, ultimately Panthers did what was needed to secure the points. Yes they relaxed in the 2nd & 3rd periods but given they were in Finland mid week and had a fairly long game against the Steelers who can blame them.
