We should be comfortably beating a team with the 4th best budget. Even on their tiny ickle pad.
0-16 to Panthers.

This game should be a belter, can’t wait till Saturday, also think it’s going to kick off. Two tough teams who won’t want to give an inch, my prediction is 3-1to the Devils, think you guys will be the 2nd best team in the league this season.

I think we'll have the whip hand. After playing all them softies in Europe we'll come as a bit of a shock to the system. Also now that the Euro adventure is as good as consigned to the scrapheap will the big name players want to know. I mean we've all seen it before CHL as a shop window to European teams and all that, playing lowly Panthers et al is it worth turning up.

I mean we've all seen it before CHL as a shop window to European teams and all that, playing lowly Panthers et al is it worth turning up. The shock happened in pre-season so the Devils know what’s coming to hit them. The ‘shop window’ syndrome is always a worry but then the guys we’ve brought in have already played at those levels so I’m more confident they’re here longterm. Being the 4th (possibly 5th) budget size team we will of course be out to punch above our weight and compete on Saturday. As long as we can get going first period I think the game is going to be a cracker. It’s huge to have Myers back because with Batch having to go back on D we needed someone to hinder Garnet’s vision for those scrappy goals. Let’s hope we both get referees like we had against Bern rather than those we had against Salzburg - it’s a physical game so keep the whistles in the pockets and let them play. Safe travel for those going down. |

Think we are all going to hear more about Mr Linglet as the season goes on, we have recruited very well, as have you guys. Our games hopefully are going to be explosive, and be exciting for us all to see. Can’t wait myself.

At least Steelers aren’t going to win it. 😀 Straight fight between Devils,Panthers and maybe the Giants this year. Nobody else has even a sniff. |

...we have recruited very well... Amazingly so for the "4th highest budget" [.sic]. |

However I also think it'll be a three-way with us, Devs and Giants. As far as this game goes, to me this is a real tale of the goalies. Bowns hasn't been at his best in the CHL (although he has shown flashes) whereas Garnett has largely been very good. |

Awesome going forward - needs to work a bit harder tracking back. |

The ‘shop window’ syndrome is always a worry but then the guys we’ve brought in have already played at those levels so I’m more confident they’re here longterm. Like Parisi?   Seriously, though... it's way too early in the season for any team to be considered to have the 'whip hand' or whatever. Even teams like ourselves who had an intensive pre-season are still shaking down... some players aren't up to full speed, lines are still being experimented with, etc etc. I think that the only thing we can say with a fair bit of confidence about Saturday's game is that it is likely to be a good display and a hard-fought game. Good. |

Good. Lol we’ll be dining out for a long time on that one. With 4th largest budget for dessert 🙄 You have to be confident though with so many new guys all looking match fit and already playing as units. If he’s this good a coach why did he go behind a desk for so long? 😳 One thing for sure our guys will have a few aches and pains Sunday morning 🙈 |

That’s one of the attractive reasons why this encounter will hopefully be a barn burner. If both teams play to their ability, then it should be one hell of a night for everyone.Hopefully this game will be a trend setter for the season ahead. |
