GDT: Storm 5:3 Panthers (CC, 25/11)

[Pies]

We lost. Who cares. Nothing to see here.

Good to get Gospel, Tetlow and Kelsall on the ice tonight. That was the main point of the game tonight in my eyes. Couldn't care less about the actual scoreline.

And Hazeldine, I believe?

One other (minor) good point... 2 PP goals.

Dead rubber game, it was all about giving Gospel, Tetlow, Kelsall and Hazeldine ice time and they saw plenty of it whilst impressing. Hazeldine was the surprising one for me, he looked solid and made good plays. Gospel made some brilliant saves all night and one on one he was excellent.

One thing is for sure and that is that the future is bright in the Brit department, happy days!

They don't let you stand at the Plexi if I remember correctly. It also has the worst sightlines imaginable. The best I've had so far was getting seats right at the back and standing all night.

Yup I went once in the Phoenix days...never again. Storm cannot progress as a club until they get a new venue.

I agree completely, without wanting to offend, it’s a terrible arena!

In all fairness it's exactly the same as the BBT, and Cardiff did just fine there, can't see them moving until they can sell out on a regular basis.
Agree it is a terrible venue though with more or less every seat being sight line.

[grrm]

Never really understood the term "sight line", surely "restricted view" would be a fairer description, although I know various venues use it, including Panthers.

Totally agree, I think it's just another way of wording it to help sell restricted view seats.

Theres rumours of a potential project on the Ethiad Campus but I think that's mostly hoping the Man City owner, whose a hockey fan, wants to pay for a new rink/arena. Chances are very slim but Storm are supposed to be looking at what options there are.

If the city owner wants a ice pad built he' ll get one built! And I'd expect it to be pretty decent too

[shinobi]

Good run out for the British lads by the sounds of it. Hopefully they get ice time as and when possible.

How come there's no video of the third goal on the highlights? And no sound?

Sire

The info you require is - Shalla, Billingsley, Bussieres, Farmer, Brown. I have the video if you need it.

Your humble servant etc

[bobness]

Sensational, I am most appreciative.
I have subsequently discovered that the reason I had no sound on the aforementioned video was that the plug had fallen out of my speakers...
It's been one of those weeks.

Watching the highlightes looks like two SLEW foot challenges on two of their goals.
