TBH wgray just hope i dont have to do what i did last season and not take in a game after xmas as they were not worth watching... I understand how you feel Tex. There’s cause for optimism though, a new coach with a different style and attitude, I believe the clubs going to be to different, on the ice anyway! |

Whilst Devils have signed a good collection of players will they gel as a team? As Panthers fans surely we should be well aware that a team is far more than just a collection of individuals?
Chernomaz is by far the most experienced coach in the league, he has well over a decade of experience coaching at the highest level of European hockey and knows what is required to build a team.
Where I feel Chernomaz's experience will really count though is in games where Panthers would have previously 'thrown away' points against teams who they should really have been beating. I feel he won't have the attitude that Neilson seemed to have, where it was almost mandated to take the foot off the gas for such games.
I'm not going to make a prediction but I feel Devils won't run away with the league and hope Steelers get battered so hard it causes a meltdown in Shuff.

On paper you have to favour the Devils.
But the danger for them is has Lord made the mistake of bringing too many of the same guys back and will they still be hungry enough to win it again,especially as they aren’t exactly a young team.
Win it once yeah great,to do it twice is some going,but to keep the hunger for a third time is questionable whether they can do it.

I think it'll be a 3-way with Panthers, Devils and Giants.

Devils Panthers Steelers Giants Clan Flames Stars Storm Lightning Blaze Fife I honestly think Fife are looking pretty strong! Seem to have goals and size in the forwards and good net minding. Could do with a couple of Brits but can't see them finishing outside the Play Offs. |

Could do with a couple of Brits but can't see them finishing outside the Play Offs. I agree, I think they will challenge for 5th Place and will comfortably finish inside the top 8. They have also rumoured to have signed a couple of extra Brits, but for some reason are not announcing the full team, despite many of the unannounced imports actually being in Kirkcaldy already. |

Rhino is a Dundee fan which is why he has done the table as he has From an unbiased Fife point of view Devils Panthers Giants Flyers Steelers Flames Clan Storm Stars Blaze Lighting I don't think that there will be much between third and eighth though |
