Hopefully we can get in Wiikman's head. I liked him when he was here, but I'm glad we didn't take a risk with him again for this season, and now he's on the opposition so we need to get him unsettled.

Not sure which way round I'd go this weekend but whoever comes out on top should be rewarded with the start vs Zurich. MK are the stronger of the 2 teams, but Coventry is a hell hole to play in so both games are probably of equal difficulty. |

Then Galbraith in Coventry and then Garnett against Zurich. |

I'm afraid that this is going to be one of those games where the opposition will race to a 3-0 lead, Panthers will pull 1 or 2 back only for the opponents to score another couple and win 5-2.
I believe Fife did this a few Seasons back (When they had Matt Nickerson) and Edinburgh did it last Season.
Also Milton Keynes are certainly no mugs and we have seen The League performances The Panthers have produced so far, which doesn't fill me with hope that they will produce the form we've seen in The CHL for this game. I hope I'm wrong but as someone else has posted, I have the feeling that there will be some eyes on Zurich.

Then they'll probably stuff it up in Coventry 🙄 |

4 point weekend for the boys,
I'd play Galbraith in both games, give him the ice and see how he handles back to back games, if hes hot on Saturday he should have the Sunday game. i'm not a fan of splitting the weekend if i'm honest, got to stick with who's hot. For reasons i cant explain I've a feeling that Galbraith will become our main starter once the CHL run comes to an end, Garnett isn't doing it in the league so far.
Get on Miika early, shut down their top line and with Gagnon on the ice i cant see Nickerson being any kind of issue for the boys Saturday and on Sunday again we've got Gagnon to counter Paquette so no probems there and overall i feel we've got just enough to get past the blaze in Coventry.
win 4-2 Saturday
win 3-2 Sunday

Fairly confident he will get the nod Tuesday and no way he should go 9 days or so without a game going into it. As much as I like having the goalie set up we have, this weekend got me thinking. How many of the league title winners have rotated goalies? And when you look at our seasons since we won the league there is no denying our league campaigns have been poor. I believe for every one of those we have ended up with 2 import goalies. Importantly when both fit we always seem to split the workload as apposed to sticking with the hot player. Again. I'm not against having two. Just simply more of an observation that perhaps evidence suggests that sticking with one for a run of games is more benificial |

not just a welcome back to Miika, but also Boxy (aka Justin Thomas of the LA Dodgers), and for those with slightly longer memories, Blaz Emersic who is now Asst.Coach at MK

Cracking little player. Hoping for a comfortable win. Blaz worked really hard in his first season and earned a 2nd year contract.If memory serves, his 2nd year was Ellis's first as coach and also the start of the season was marked by 'zero tolerance' from the refs. He fared less well and was released, to be replaced by Joe Cardarelli. |

Got a feeling Mikka is gonna be on top form ... unfortunately for us.
Still think we should get the win. Garnett in nets for us imo.

Whilst I appreciate Wiikman's efforts when he was the Panthers NM there are 2 points up for grab tonight and Neilson should be using his experience of coaching him, and knowing his weaknesses, to our advantage.
Panthers need to get right in his face, plant someone at the top of the crease and follow-up the rebounds that Wiikman often gives up.

Realistically,Panthers should win easy enough.
If you want to win the title you've got to be winning against teams like MK.
