It’s the best I’ve seen a Panthers team play in a few years. At ltimes it looks like the Blaze are chasing shadows. They were made to look extremely poor by Panthers. Will be a long season for them if they play like that.

If that is the level of effort/hustle we get this season then I’ll be more than happy, it’s exactly what we’ve been after and is very refreshing.
Fitness levels seem improved, we’re chasing pucks down every single time, the team look like they’re all ok the same page too which is crucial!
I wouldn’t like to say how we’d do this year but play like that and we’re in for a better experience this season for sure!

Fast, skilful, and hard working. I’ll take that all year, thanks very much.

It was difficult today to know what was our top line, second, third and fourth line as all lines played so well.

Good performance by Panthers last night, as others have said we showed a lot of speed, skill, resilience & teamwork amongst other things. Neither did we back down when things got niggly.
To me Blaze started each period better than us but we soo got on top so to speak.
Have to say & not just based on last night's performance that I think Blaze are a very poor team this season who will struggle for scoring & for me will finish no higher than sixth.
You can only beat what's in front of you, that's what we did & there's lots to be positive about around Panthers both on and off the ice at present. Hopefully it doesn't fizzle out once again.

When I read the match report, I thought the same thing, hopefully we beat them tomorrow but like us last Sunday, I'm expecting a response from Coventry

Panthers lost in their first game together. Coventry have already played 4?

One player I’ve hardly heard a mention so far is Hugo Roy. Anyone who’s watched any games so far got any feedback?

Anyone who’s watched any games so far got any feedback? whilst not necessarily producing points wise, forechecking effectively, defensively responsible, definitely contributing by playing his role and the system. Think he’s about +1 on the +\- through the 3 games. No problems with him at all from my point of view.

All the forwards have shown moments of class and high skill. Ollie looks a step quicker this year too. The only thing I might comment on so far is that sometimes the final pass going forwards is delayed a little too long, and the chance is lost or is made more difficult. That will come though. That and that they need to ideally win more face offs.

Good game and result. What a spedy team, there are some fast and nimble skaters and I think it'll work to our advantage; certainly at home, how'll be at Manchester or Cardiff remains to be seen. Looking for to the season starting proper and when the games count but happy so far. Couple of areas need working on, face off wins could be better and hopefully that'll come; and the PP, but then had has a decade of Neilson PP and that was not great so perhaps that'll improve too.

Just watched the highlights from this game, another good win and some very well worked goals. Not sure if its me, but the ice quality at the NIC looks really poor/dull this year
