[Higgy]

Lemay ruled out tonight...big loss he has been on fire recently

Looks like Hazeldine is back at least.

[Bagheera]

In the running for worst attended ST game in the NIC tonight.

[blackandgold73]

5-1 final score. Nice work lads

[Mark]

Great effort. Seems a corner may have been turned.

[Yotes]

Good win, although you'd expect to beat Dundee with the backup in.

2 in a row though and Fife and Clan lost.

[pantherlee]

Good win but very comfortable. Dundee were appallingly bad

[Bagheera]

A very solid performance. I thought perhaps the numbers difference may ballance out the back up goalie for Dundee as we tired towards the end, but it was a done deal by then.
Payed more attention to Michund tonight. He certainly had a few of his usual bad turnovers, one of which should have cost us a goal. He 100% needs to shoot more(no wonder he has so few goals), but I think he also mustve been close to MoM. A great performance from him with some lovely assists.

Should be 4 wins on the bounce, but recent form is decent as we head in to Sheffield on Saturday. Could really do with more than Pare back for that one.

[Bagheera]

Now i've shared my view on the game i'll mention an iritation from tonight.
I know he sometimes reads posts on here so I'll try and be as respectful as possible. Hopefully it's also seen as constructive and not just me being harsh.

Ken, for me is really starting to overstep the mark. For me a bad habbit is creeping in. More amd more he is shouting and talking over the game whilst the puck is in play.
I get it, he's trying to lift the atmosphere and I actually like a lot of what he does. Jawaii 5 0 was another little bit of magic tonight.
I've always considered our announcing team to be the best in the business and classy, especially compared to somebody up the road. I was tipped over the edge tonight by the mexican wave peice at the end. Constantly talking whilst the puck was in play and had been for some time. No way it was accidental. The game was well won at that time, but that arguably makes it worse.
For me it was crass, disrespectful and perhaps even unnaceptable.
Do all you like whilst the game is paused, but you must be quiet whilst the puck is in play.

Maybe thats an unpopular oponion and i'm a bit old school. Overall a great job done, aside this for me.

[awooga]

Good performance. Look dangerous going forwards and if a few lay offs had found their man we could have had a few more.

Stars didn’t really look like troubling us, despite the shots stats.

Glad for Neilson to get his first home goal. Saw that Corey was having a pre match pint in Saltbox, so he would have been around to see it.

Enjoyable evening. Opposition may have been poor, but you can only beat what is in front of you.

Yes, his timing was a bit off with that, but on the basis he’s had to keep spirits up when we have been losing all season, I will forgive him one where he’s perhaps got a bit over excited.

I know him away from hockey and he’s a decent guy. Really wouldn’t think he meant disrespect.

I dont know him at all away from hockey and he appears very much a decent guy. I'm certain he isn't being purposefully disrespectful, but I do think he currently thinks it's ok to do it.
As you say, I think overall he's done a fantastic job in the most difficult of times.
Yes it has irritated me, but overall its meant as feedback rather than just a moan.

Very professional job by us tonight, thought Logan, Lunsjo and Michaud were all brilliant tonight, Logan has impressed me all season but he’s stepped up a gear and I’m pleased it’s resulted in him getting some points on the board.

Rok had a good game and deserved his MotM.

Stars backup wasn’t great, but that’s not our fault. Plus, we seem to reaaaally struggle when we come up against a backup so it was good to see us sail to a 5 goal lead.

The confetti situation was funny considering we were winning, but I imagine someone at the arena will be getting a phone call to ask them to prevent that happening again.

Overall, very happy. Gained ground on Fife and Glasgow too. Top job.

I get where you’re coming from mate, I agree the Mexican wave thing was a bit of a head scratcher. It probably seemed he was talking more tonight as for some reason they’d given him 7/8 shirt raffle numbers to read out which would have been much better on the screen, not being read out during the game.

Generally I don’t mind the “everybody, join in!” Once maybe twice a game to boost the atmosphere, as it generally does work. The Mexican wave tonight not so much, but maybe that’s a lesson that’s all.

[Higgy]

Excellent all round performance tonight,we looked slick,composed (generally) and full of confidence which is great with so many players out again.

Some nicely worked goals,Henbrants being my favourite.

Thought Despres had a great game tonight,he would have been my MoM personally.

A lot of season ticket holders near me not in attendance tonight so makes the 4010 figure seem a bit off,I would guess 3500 max in tonight.

I agree in regards Ken,I really like the guy but recently he does have a habit of talking over the play a bit too often.

The atmosphere has been pretty good recently so he doesn't always need to jump in with 'Get loud' when a chant is starting...just seems a bit forced to me.

Anyway,great win, onwards!

[float]

Just seen Jono Bullard has tweeted that Michaud is on 1+15 in his last 5 games. That’s ridiculous!

[John Casey]

Good professional performance, it looks like the lines are settled and work well together especially the Niemenen, Lucciani and Roy Line.

Some good well taken goals, we seem to have found the scoring touch.

Again a official got in the way of a Panther player which lead to the Dundee Goal.

It was nice to be at a game where there is no tension.
