We got bullied and totally outplayed if it wasn’t for how goalie it could been in double figures 45 shots to 15 say it all. Going to be another long season

A team with some gelling to do, definitely. Several players look quick though. The goal was very well taken. Steelers benefitted from their many returnees. Fair score on the night. No complaints.

Only the first game, and the coach is obviously new to the league, but we looked awful like we did last year. In the other pre-season games we have seen, the teams have been a LOT better so far

Going to be another long season still only the first game so I can definitely see us getting better but I cant see how we are gonna stop getting bullied off the puck constantly and then beaten up whenever the opponents want. We were very poor, only real chances coming off Steelers mistakes and our goal was on a 2 on 1 break. Good goal but very disappointed we barely got any solid pressure and puck control in the Steelers zone. Steelers have a coach who has been there for a while and some returning players who know how he wants to play so I think we were always gonna lose that game. I see the same happening tomorrow but hopefully we do actually play remotely close to the level Sheffield play at.

But you similarly can’t infer much, if anything at all, from a single pre-season game. See the first period of last pre-season.

Hardly had any puck time in the offensive zone all night and Panthers goal was against the run of play

Trying to focus on positives I saw from the game, I’m very impressed with Henbrant, he does have top speed. Stojanovic was very impressive, Steelers controlled the game but I’d argue their first and second goals were very fortuitous, Rok was unlucky with them.

Just got home. Glad we made the effort to go. A lot of work to do for JP to get these guys to gel. Without the rok on top form tonight that could have been double figures.
Dissapointing but not surprised to see Steelers bully us, more a concern Steelers don’t have a lot of toughness either and they still beat us up.
Few of these euro looks very small and lightweight so they may struggle.
I thought Caruso looked rather bad tonight and very unfit which is a concern.
Not reading too much into it tho.

First game the majority of the team has had together against a very good side that kept the majority of their players and coach with home team advantage. It was always going to be tough. As much as I hate the phrase we are going to have to wait and see . Will be interesting to see how they react to this tomorrow big part of our problem last season was mental strength. Let's hope they come out fighting and push Steelers a bit more

As expected, we lose a pre-season game and the doom mongers have written off the season already.
Never changes 😂

No one has written them off but it was a dire performance. I don't see much drastic change tonight except the majority of panthers fanbase Sunday will see for themselves they lack physicality 😉

Didn't I raise concerns about the team being small and lightweight weeks ago and got called out cause of being negative? As a long time fan I know what is required to be competitive and some last night just weren't at the races how easy they got knocked off the puck was embarrassing at times

Let's focus on the positives. I thought Balmas had a very good game, I like the look of him. And Simpson took his goal very well from a tight angle.

It's never a good idea to play the Steelers pre season, jts a blatant cash grab by both sides, with an increased chance of injuries as there's no chance of a ban as its not a league organised game
Steelers have 10 returning players. We had two (& a coach new to the league) so they were always going to be ahead of us in terms of chemistry & team work.
In general coaches new to the league having never played in it have struggled to adapt so it will be interesting to see if Paredes can buck the trend.
Not speaking physicality or lack of as I wasn't there last night, but in terms of height of the individual forwards we actually match up well or better than 6 other teams in the league. Sheffield are noticeably bigger than us, Belfast are much bigger as a group and by far tge tallest in the league And to a lesser extent Dundee are bigger than us.
Hopefully we got no injuries last night & Michaud is fit to play tonight
For what it's worth though I do think we need to bring in someone with a bit of height & grit, who is isn't afraid to fight and cab handle himself.
Wonder how long it will be before the 'we are the mighty mighty Panthers' chants start tonight? 😁😁😁🙈🙈

Lads can barely remember each others names yet, never mind add chemistry / best formations etc. Add in to that away to your (supposed) biggest rivals, pretty full crowd etc then I’m not too surprised we were beaten. It will have been a massive learning curve for Parades (and the players) though about what is required to be able to compete. Looking at it positively, it was a free hit in a game that didn’t matter. I expect a defeat again to tonight BUT for things to be tried out, areas to be worked on etc. It’s just a shame it’s against “them”.
