That’s a real punch in the gut for us. Really disappointing.
We didn’t capitalise when we needed to on the 3 PP’s in the 3rd and, again, we weren’t good as unit defending Glasgow’s shots from the blue line. The same as when we lost 6-3 to them at home, we don’t stop them working the puck to the point, we don’t do enough to stop the shot from getting through and then we don’t clear the front of the net. Simple stuff really but we struggled with again, probably due to our lack of physicality and size, but our forwards needed to show more desire to stop the puck getting through.
Think we’re down now barring a miracle, will still get behind the team though

Watching super Panthers....yep okay, Some people are either misguided or easily entertained. Two very ordinary teams. Hasn't been the best of games - Maybe because too much is riding on the outcone Architects of our own downfall with 6 minutes of pp time wasted, then to cough it up in OT. We are the mighty, mighty Panthers... I agree with you, we’re not the greatest team in the world, but what would you rather the fans chant, We’re poo poo and we know we are? What about booing them off the ice, would that be better? The fans are only trying to support the team and spur them onto achieving something, don’t take it too literally…

From the 1st Period you could tell it was going to be one of those games.
We let them have 43 shots, should have been able to clear our zone and knock them off the puck.
As a epitomy of our season, their equaliser was similar to a chance we had in the 1st but they had someone to tap it in.
Should have scored on the PP
Didn't look like our Forwards were on the same wavelength in OT.
Officials had a shocker, they missed Hazeldine getting taken out in the 1st and I'm sure there was holding in OT, when Hendbrant was on the boards
Again 1 step forward, 1 step back

Whilst we are now in a position of needing everything to go our way I would at least like us to get at least 2 points of we can’t pull off the miracle as we would at least surpass last seasons points tally and I feel that this years group deserve that at least!

It's crazy that we're rock bottom on one point less than last year's total.

Frustrating. To concede when less than 3 minutes from winning (and Clan getting nothing) is a kick in the nuts. To lose it (and Clan get 2 points) the way we did even more so. These days OT is all about possession. First, winning it, then keeping it. We're in their zone, deep in OT. Who do we send out to take the draw? 88, who, for all his good points, hasn't won a single face off in his entire time with us. He takes it, loses it (to a chap with 171 wins this season), Clan get good possession and a few seconds later the game is lost. Why isn't Pare taking almost all face offs in OT? He's our best guy in the dot. Get him out there, we have the best chance of winning it, then we set up and swap him out for who we need. We then have good possession and who we need out there.
Frustrating.
(This happened a few seasons ago in Cardiff too.)

Frustrating. (This happened a few seasons ago in Cardiff too.) Bad coaching decision like you say. Luciani isn’t a face-off winner and I personally don’t see him as a good player to have out there for OT, mainly due to his lack of speed and work rate

The fans are only trying to support the team and spur them onto achieving something, don’t take it too literally… It's amazing isn't it, when Clan scored their 1st goal and until Panthers scored their 2nd - well earned may I add, the alleged loud block (& Ken) went as good as silent. Surely that would be when the players most need the fans chanting? And thats far from the first time they've gone quiet when Panthers are losing. That'shardly spurring the teM on, supporting them when it's most needed is it? Surely there's other chants that could be thought of/used, rather than proclamating how mighty we are when we arent? No one said we should chant we arw poo poo or boo them off. But its interesting yo see the way your mind works. No wonder aspects of other clubs fans think Panthers fans aren't playing with a full deck. Not that it matters. Anyway. Roll on to the next two games, hopefully we get 4 points, and hope for the best, especially as Storm have little to play for.

I agree with you, the building went a bit flat, but that’s due to the disappointment of what we’ve all witnessed, I don’t think the fans did a bad job tonight though, we were behind them for the majority. I think that Block 19 and Ken have improved the atmosphere in the NIC though, it’s certainly better than the morgue like atmosphere we used to have before it was setup. Hopefully we’re still in with a chance on Sunday and the place is rocking

According to the earlier team sheet, McKenzie was playing. I don't remember him icing at all but was he even on the bench?

I just don’t understand why the DJ decided to have a Mexican wave. They’re to entertain bored crowds, not energise and get behind a team.
Does anybody know when the season ticket prices and stuff will be released. It was March 1st last season.

Joe Gretton of the Peterborough Phantoms was in the crowd. Why not sign him to do what Zaine does. He’s a tough kid who’d drop the gloves with anybody. Which is what we need.

Maybe because there was something going on at The Arena but why wasn't this game played Tuesday or tonight?
