Trying to look at something positive going into this weekend, it’s going to be interesting to see how Stewart plays with a week of training under his belt. He looked very impressive in OT on Sunday, the Storm players couldn’t get near him when he had time on the puck. Let’s hope he can give us some excitement and make it fun to watch the team again!

Think the only reason Storm players were not near him was because he was so slow to get back up ice he was always playing the goal suck role. Out of shape and well past prime nothing to worry about here unless he falls on you.

In my opinion Stewart showed good potential for us. with only being in the country for a day or so before the fife game looked decent. when he is match fit id like to see him use his physicality a lot more. I feel like once he is match fit and use to the league he could put up some points. looks good on the puck too but makes a lot of no look passes that often resulted in turnovers.

He can’t have had much time on the puck in O/T it was all over in 1.18 😳 Bet he only had one shift.

It was the following shift when Rich decided to put Guptill on the ice, guaranteeing Storm an odd man rush, that cost us the game. I ask again why do we play Guptill in OT? Why?!!

Can see another sleep-fest. Two teams who have under achieved so far this season. Storm have some lumbering giants just like Panthers. Could well book down to who gets the better netminding on the night. My prediction is 3-2 to Panthers.

You know what happens every time we threaten “revenge” don’t you ! 🙄😐

Because Cherno is obviously dumb and ain’t all he was cracked up to be. 🙄 Panthers have lost 7 times in OT this year (1 of which was a PS), Guptill has been on the ice for 1 of those 6 sudden death goals (8 Dec game vs Storm). Olsen and Kovacs lead that stat with 3 each out of 6 possible. Both are 3 for the 4 even strength OT losing goals. The sample for Panthers OT winners is too small to be statistically significant.

Some interesting statistics there. I think to be successful in OT you’ve got to have players out there who will play a safe two-way game and wait for the opposition to turn the puck over. Olsen certainly isn’t quick and Guptill and Kovacs aren’t interested in playing a two way game so there’s no surprise that we are abysmal in OT. Were Olsen and Kovacs both on the ice together on all 3 losses?

As expected, Farmer is out of these two, plus the following weekend's Scottish triple.

So, a day till the biggest game since the last biggest game and just 7 seats left in the bronze blocks due to all the freebies being dished out.
No suggestion that block 19 will be opened up so that's four of us that won't be going.......phew, won't have to put up with the drivel this week. Enjoy the game everyone and the empty seats in the 'sold out' (sic) bronze blocks. :-(

Then Neil and Gary can feel all smug and important mixing with proper hockey people if we ever manage to get into the CHL draw again ! 🙄 Just think,that guy sat next to you at the Storm game maybe paid £16 less than you did for his bronze ticket !
