Gonna be a tough weekend. 2 great, hard-working teams. Need to be picking up a win at home though. Is Brian Stewart back yet does anyone know?
Do it for Corey lads.

Let's hope Panthers put in a performance which will make Corey proud in this difficult time for him

He has had a lot of stick from fans over the years (and I count myself among them), often questioning his commitment, but these sad events have brought to light to many just how much a trooper he is. |

Indeed. I may have concerns sometimes about tactics and personnel choices, but his dedication and professionalism shouldn't be in doubt. |

Tuesday is the best night for the chant, at least he will hear it then. I did think it would be quite different to actually have either Corey or the whole team as man of the match on Tuesday night, after some of the bizarre sponsors calls this season it would be a fitting tribute to the whole team for actually getting this far in the competition and good show of appreciation.
As for tonight it really depends on how tired our players are, the travelling and amount of games is starting to show especially in the 3rd periods. Hopefully a sneaky win.

Save the chant for when he’s hear to witness and hear it, could also pump him and the team up that little extra bit. |

Dominant first 6-7 minutes from us. We should have had more than one goal to show for it. Guildford have found their legs now and very much in the game.

End of the second and Galbraith is clear man of the match for us. Everyone else has jet lag.

Our own powerplay killed all of our momentum. Dominant up until that point. Struggled since.
Huge 3rd period.

Galbraith is deservedly MOM. Reminds me of Belfour as a Leaf; nothing flashy, but always in the right place at the right time. Hope he’s signed for next season.

Massive credit to the guys to get those two points! 4th game in seven days is insane. Surely we can’t get anything tomorrow?

Everyone just looked exhausted and I agree with Logan we started so well but our own PP just killed us and we never recovered. The first 10 and last 10 was all we had in that game and if it wasn’t for Galbraith having an awesome game we would have most certainly lost it. Credit to the team though got the win that’s all that matters.
Though I think tomorrow is going to be a nightmare if the last time we played Lightning is anything to go by.

That was 2 points earned off a below par performance and that’s the sign of a good team. We relied heavily on Galbraith (who was phenomenal) but it’s those sorts of games where you have to try and pick up the points when you’re not at your best and we did that. Also, our overtime/penalty shots record this season is pretty impressive.
Betteridge had a great game, not just his goal but his presence was very noticeable.
Mokshantsev knows he is a skilled player, but the thing I like about him is that he isn’t afraid of the physical stuff either. We had Schultz the last 2 seasons who was skilled (not as much) but would fold like origami at someone passing wind within 30 feet of him. Refreshing to see a skilful player get stuck in.
Brisebois was injured at the start of the season, but my word is he a good defenceman. Fast, physical, threatening up front. He is a gem.
Passing was what let us down tonight, big ask to get something from MK (who are unbeaten at home). I’d settle for a point tomorrow.
Well earned 2 points tonight though.

Not sure how much I buy the fatigue thing.
They are pro athletes and we have 4 lines. Spot the kids in for additional rest if needed.
For me they took their foot off the gas after the initial dominance. Lots of teams I’ve played for (albeit in a different sport) have relaxed when they think they have the game won, and let the other team come back into it. Then very difficult to turn back the tide.
Still - a win’s a win

Still - a win’s a win 4 game in 7 days regardless of whether you are a pro athlete or not is hard work. Especially when the last game you played involved a flight to Zurich against such a high quality team. I agree with spotting the younger players in though. Would have liked to see Kelsall and Tetlow get a shift or two tonight. |

First 10 mins we should have had at least 3 goals then we just looked shattered in the 2nd and 3rd.
Flames are very fast and definitely made our D work very hard all night,obviously Galbraith was solid all night and kept us in it.
Into OT and our first real shot in about 25 mins and boom...Phillips made it look easy.

Still - a win’s a win there is no way we could have the energy levels guildford had after the week we've had, 4 games in 7 days and 1 of them abroad, I don't normally defend them for being fatigued, but you just can't expect them to match teams for energy after that kind of week |

Does anyone understand when you are chasing the puck for 60 mins like they did in Tuesday against a far superior team it zaps their energy . They've done very well to stick at it tonight and get the 2 points . Huge ask to get anything tomorrow

Also I think having a strength and conditioning coach is beginning to pay dividends

Great effort in the end to get the two points yet again. Guildford are a well drilled team, going to take points off big teams this year so to pick up 3 wins against them early on in the season is good going.
Tiredness clearly was a factor though and it's obviously going to be a tough one tomorrow. Have a feeling we could be in for a bit of a hammering. If we have the two youngsters available tomorrow get them on the ice where possible.
Gritty performance though, proud of this team for digging deep. Just need to be a bit smarter and clinical to make life easier for ourselves, we are our own worst enemy at times.
Tonight we saw the true benefit of having a stacked goalkeeping unit. Garnett getting a rest and Galbraith winning us the game.
