Simpson heads to the box for a face-off violation. Panthers on the… On the…
Ah what’s the point?

5-0 Steelers. 1.23 left in the 2nd. Boos ring out again, most briefly...

0-5, just as Sheffield return to full strength we turn the puck over and Balmas fires it into the top corner. We have been truly terrible.

Panthers playing scared, we’re unable to string a single pass together, panicking on the puck and not getting their heads up. Never mind the fact we’re not winning a single individual battle

6-0. Steelers man easily beats 2 Panthers to the puck 10 seconds left in the period

Awful, just awful. We are 2nd to everything, feels like it’s 5v4 all for the game.
Can’t win a faceoff, no passion or intensity.

Really need at least 2 very physical players, ones that can separate player from puck without having to poke check it.
At least it's the challenge cup group stage, small mercy
I don't blame Robinson

0-6, ten seconds left in the second. We have given up. There’s no way to spin it, we are short on quality, short on leadership, devoid of ideas. We don’t hit, we can’t pass, our powerplay is atrocious, we don’t win face-offs, we don’t backcheck. We are a team of non-entities, playing zombie hockey interspersed with blasts of loud pop music and plugs for an accountancy firm while we sit and hope for better next year.

Worryingly our "fast" team has been hit by Sheffields speed.

Is it a positive? I don’t have to do much on the stats tonight.

Thank you panthers for giving this thread another 5 pages of posts saying the same thing in different words. There’s going to be some reaching for the tissues with excitement over this capitulation.

Nice to see a well set up team, good d and f, solid netminder and good physical play. Shame it was the Steelers.
13, 19, 17 and 7 would be first out the door for me

Pisstake when Greenfield put out his cigar, folded up his deckchair and poddled off for the night for some kid from the crowd to keep a clean sheet.

Really bad, made a Steelers team not leave second gear and held us arms length all night.
Defence has no cohesion with attack and when (which wasn’t often) they cleared the zone, the D were so quick to step up and basically get amongst the forwards that it left us exposed time and time again at the back. Robinson may want back one or two but he was hung out to dry.
Swap out at least one D for a stay-at-home and it would help (Ryczek my pick on tonight’s viewing). Neill and Bjorkung with a Brock Wilson or first stint Lepine would be ideal.
The forwards are all too similar, as many predicted. All too same and as much as they are quick and skilful, when times get tough and you go 3-0 down in the first period there’s no plan B. Swap out Welsh and Anderson and you don’t lose any speed or skill, then put in two decent sized units to cover defensive responsibilities.
Steelers have a good balance, good skill, enough size and strength to push us off and they were well drilled and played their roles well.

You’re talking about gassing 4 players after 3 games? The whole problem with this club at the minute is that it’s always having to rip everything up and start again. This is a bad loss especially with it being against Steelers but knee jerk reactions aren’t what is required

They didn’t look interested at all and 13&17 hardly won a faceoff all night and from a centre that’s vital, look at the Steelers. I would love them to prove me wrong but they just look average.

Unfortunately the pre-season predictions have come true on tonight’s viewing. It felt like we had two fourth lines, a third line, half a second line and Adam Johnson. He looked so frustrated by the end I’m not sure he passed the puck for the final ten minutes.
I have never seen so many passes going astray, passes into players skates and one terrible hospital pass for Michaud which led to him being levelled mid-ice.
We couldn’t get into the zone with any regularity, when we didn’t we couldn’t keep the puck in there.
The whole thing was summed up when Sheffield were 6-on-5 on a delayed penalty and had the puck for at least a minute before we managed to gain possession back.

So from one bad performance you’d just give up on them as a lost cause. Anyone who thought that a team with a brand new coach and 18ish brand new players to integrate all at once without any teething problems is kidding themselves.
This was a terrible performance of that there is no dispute. Let’s just be thankful that it was a CC game and hope they have the ability and determination to put it right but to give up on it as a bad job after just 3 competitive games when wholesale changes have been made and necessarily so isn’t right
