Can we do it on a cold Tuesday night in Zurich?
Keep the score within touching distance and I’ll dare to dream!

Keep it within 2 and we could have a shot next week. Ive gone with logic most of our games so far in this competition and predicted a 3-4 goal defeat and I'll go the same again.
I love to be proved wrong.

We beat Bern who top the NLA. We Beat TPS who sit second in Liga (with a game in hand to go top). I know we’ve exceeded all expectation but clearly our brand of hockey and the sublime effort/performances we’ve put in clearly work in European hockey. I’m saying the first leg we could sneak a win but I’m going for a 1 goal loss. Back at our rink, big crowd, a lot of noise, hard nosed gritty hockey we’ll get the win by a goal that takes it to OT WIN IT in dramatic style and see what the next round has to offer.

Should Panthers beat ZSC over 2 legs ... frolunda awaits and no matter how well Panthers have done they could play 3/4 times better than they did against Bern and Turko combined and they d still be nowhere good enough go beat the red Indians!

I fully expect that to happen but can you imagine Forlunda coming here in a CHL quarter final - the result wouldn’t matter: the event itself would be memories of a lifetime. I fully expect Zurich to get the results they need over 2 legs because well they should. But there’s always that little bit of hope that we’ll nick something. If there’s any coach in Europe who knows how to play 2 legged ties, it’s the man behind our bench. We play smart tomorrow and keep it close, no team is gonna fancy playing us at our barn with it rocking like it seems to for CHL. But I think Zurich know that and will look to blow us out in the first leg. |

Imperative we stay out the penalty box. Should be a good atmosphere with the amount of fans that have travelled, the first lot already there and walking round sunny Zurich.

So excited for this! See you all in Zurich tomorrow afternoon :-)
Where's everyone sitting out of interest? I think we were supposed to be in the standing block in the corner but we've booked seats in K1

Hope all of you en route to Switzerland have a good time and see a good game.
I'm hoping the tie is still close for the second leg (unless it's in our favour of course, but I suspect that's unlikely).

Nice bit from Chris Ellis on the Beeb: m.bbc.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/41788910Didn't realise they'd signed the Korpedo. Interesting at the end too, that leg 2 will be streamed live on the BBC. Good stuff. |

I thought they would have gone earlier to get some rest, alot of fans took the early morning and lunchtime flights, where are you flying from. Hope you all have a great time.

That definitely said 2nd leg earlier. Still, not complaining about the correction, even better news.

Flew from Birmingham, Swissair. All had a good meal (no alcohol) and all were in good spirits and confident of a good performance tomorrow. |

Hi there! I'm writting from Zurich, my name is Colin and I'm a 46year old ZSC-fan! My friends and myself are extremely looking forward, to seeing your team play our team here in Zurich and then in Nottingham.
At the moment our team is struggling with a lot of insuries. Meaning within all insured players our topscorer and our by far best defense-man are out. That really hurts us. Never the less we are looking Forward to seeing you here in Zurich.
And even more: I'm coming to your city to see the second leg - that's going to be a thrill!
For those who will attend at our stadium: Don't be to disapointed, but it's going to be more than half empty. The Champions Hockey League is sadly not really taking off in Zurich. So I'm hoping that at least you guys "make some noise" at the ice-rink.
I'm not quite sure how many supporters will join me to come to Nottingham, but I know it will be a party! We enjoyed hosting the London Knights in 2001 oder 2002 (can't remember) here. Aaah, good old times....
For the games: If your team will play physical - but stay out of the penalty-box, you have a good chance to beat us! We're struggling and winning games in our league, even though we play really poor. But our Powerplay is really good - so be aware. Like all swiss teams (a part from Berne) our team don't like to get physical on the ice. But I guess your coaching-staff already knows all about that.........
Alright - I'll keep in touch with you guys! And if there's anything you need to know about the stadium here or Zurich in general, just let me know. Best regards! |

Wish I could be there, but couldn't get time off work. Sounds from social media it could be up to 100 fans from Nottingham making the trip. Would be good to see similar numbers from Zurich. Berne brought a good following which made for a fun atmosphere. Interesting you say that Berne are physical because Panthers are much more physical than them which could bode well for us. Definitely need to stay out if the penalty box as Bern especially punished us for our penalties. I think we conceded 4 PP goals against them. I just hope we can keep it tight away as we've won every home game so far and if we are only a goal or 2 down after the away leg I think we'd have a good chance at home. Hope you enjoy Nottingham next week! |

An impressive amount of national media coverage about tonight's game.
Good exposure for the game in this country and so proud its our team behind it.
No doubt the good work will be undone next week by Simmsey punching a baby or something but it's good to see some real media positive media coverage of our sport.
