Interesting game with the usual Panthers-Steelers outcome......those other lot win, and like usual it was in the last 2 minutes that they scored. Very even game in every department both NM's had blinding games, i still dont know how Lehman stopped a shot in the 1st from point blank range .
I thought ref had a good game called most things right, i didnt really see the Neilson...Jody....unsure of who it was incident but it resulted from an open ice hit where Neilson and player X both ended up on the floor...i think Corey got some punches in when he landed on him and Jody came flying out to help out to seemed, either way the steeler player had blood pouring down his face.
comedy moment of the night was first Corny calling Shymr a chicken and then Shymr reacting with a wobbly skate as in saying 'Cornish cant skate', was so funny
3rd period was quite dull and not much happend apart from tait scored and then with about 30 secs left it appeared that Jody knocked the net off when we were in front of goal but it was a mess anyway
6,500 sell out too
Panthers lose thats the main point though

Haven't got time for a long post mortem. I left the game angry that we seemed to fall asleep in 3rd period.... but now I have had time to simmer down, my quick summary is.... amazing game from Lehman. Panthers played well but didn't do enough in the 3rd period.
Oh yea - bring back shep. The new guy is rubbish.

average performance. deserved to lose after the 2nd and 3rd period. Great 1st were we shud of scored much more than one but then second as usual one team roughs it up and we lose focus, let them get the equaliser cos rasto thought hed have a nap in his crease. Not impressed. 3rd we kinda sat back and then we got a stupid call and then was predictable. should of won, Bergin played well think hell get better, think rasto is gettin worse which is dissapointing.
Cornish made himself look like a fool, doing a retarded chicken dance to shmyr who then scared the living crap out of him when he came off the bench. Neilson was joker gettin 2 minutes for roughing after beating the crap outta someone hahaha.

Thought we were very average with very little ideas. McAslan looked liked winning the game, can't say much for any of the other forwards. Drouin-Bergin-Myers line looked shocking, no team work just a bunch of individuals.
Was gutted until I walked out to see Johnny Wilkinson's penalty kick and the night picked up from there!!!! No, "there" is a never say die team.

exciting game, predictable outcome. Great atmosphere at the start, then steadily died throughout the game. Mac took his goes really well. we jsut need to aovid gettin dragged into all the individual rough stuff which is what throw us off our game. Cornish should be doing stand up in a sheffield nightclub. Good first home game, dissapointing outcome

Think we really need to play 3 period hockey if we have a chance of challenging for titles or playoffs etc.
Seem to play at most 2 good periods usually one.

Cornish should be doing stand up in a sheffield nightclub. Well he beat Shmyr in that SKY-televised fight a few weeks back He wasn't brought in for his playing skills, which aren't even minimum wage abilities, admittedly [glow=red,2,300]Crowder[/glow]

Great first period, both atmosphere and the hockey was brilliant and that glove save by lehman was fantastic and kept them in it. The second predictably we dropped off and they scored and in the third as soon as we took that penalty you could see what was coming. Good to see the ref pull the triger and give Lehman that misconduct though and same with Tait

Wasnt impressed with sheffield at all and we failed to beat them, simple as that. Ignoring the rivalry they were there for the beating and we bottled it. We didnt play badly at all but that counts for nothing.
Bergin looked unsettled but will gel, if Jody didnt point blank him in the first I think people would like him more. Good refereering I thought, let the game flow for the most part

ok straight facts as i see it we did everything but win it, the only one that stopped us winning it was jody,
bergen not sure about killers comment did nothing wrong needs to get used to the play but looked better than shep to me! It is just a game of opinions though, thought boney had a good game as well!
We will play worse than that performance and win!

A few comments on here say it was end to end??? did you have a plan be mind you people see different things You tried but we had obviously worked on how break it down and hit plays up to a high guy who help up the breakout and worked it from there or broke in on a breakaway. Then 2nd and 3rd period steelers (a goal down without their trap working)came out and played hockey. Was a good game if it wasnt for the scoreline from a panthers POV

Panthers have no chance of winning the league - but on a brighter note neither do steelers

Embarrassing. My mum n dads first Panthers Steelers game. My bro and his girlfreind and my mum n dads mates first ever game and they are treated to that?
First period... great. No problems. Picked it apart. Where did that go the minute we started the second period?
Only the big Corey Neilson carried it on. How he didnt get MOM ill never know.
Drouin seemed ok. Some good individual skill from him.... as did Molin.
Overall it could have been a lot worse. Sheffield were an average team tonight in my eyes and we failed to beat them.
Who do I blame? Maily Rasto but the D played a part as well. Him not even flapping around.... just lying on the ice.... "thought he had it covered" is no excuse... hes a pro goalie (allegedly). Why the D didnt bust a gut to stop Tait picking his spot... or just roofing it into the gaping net would be more accurate ill never know.
Jody had a blinder. Ill give him that. By rights we should have had a couple more but couldnt work out you need traffic in front of him to pick up those rebounds and get the tip in. He will save shots from the slot all day long.
My main disappointment was Ryan. Laugh all you want about Cornish but he made Ryan look stupid in front of a packed home crowd. To be fair, Cornish disappointed me. If I had bought him just for the odd time he does get into fisty cuffs that was a gooder time as any. What happens? he skates off.... shouldnt have given ryan the choice IMO. That was just embarrassing.
Reffing was poor IMO but poor both ways, he let a lot of stuff go which I thought helped the game immensely... much like vs Bison last week.
Up sides? First game we have not took points at home. First period was good. Drouin didnt look so lazy. Sheffield really werent the better team but wanted it more.... actually thats probably another downside
For all those people that dont like what Im writing... Im talking about awakedreaminguk and psylence and monty.... theres that nice little ignore user function. Feel free to press it and you can go on living in your own fantasy land where Rasto is the best goalie in the league and our loss tonight was down to bad reffing and bad bounces. Otherwise offer me a constructive response rather than 'NO IT WASNT RASTOS FAULT HE IS ACE... blah blah blah'

Is the game on sky at all? I was under the impression it was. It was someone's first game today and i wanted to record it for her.

Please bear with me, but can someone please explain why Jodi was allowed to remain on the ice after receiving a 10 minute misconduct penalty? I thought that these penalties were awarded against the individual. As it hapened, Sheffield were able to alternate players in and out the penalty box (both Finnerty and Cornish spent some of the ten minutes in there) whenever there was a stoppage.
As for the game, I thought that Panthers played very well but Jodi was awesome, making some exceptional saves to keep us out.

The rule is that another player can serve a goalie's penalty. The only time they actually have to leave the ice is for game/match penalties.
To be quite honest I thought 2+10 on Jody for that incident was a bit harsh. I thought the check on Neilson was fine and his reaction was OTT.

Shocking we've not beaten the Steelers in the league since boxing day 2005! Thats unacceptable. If the Panthers are to challenge for the league title we need to start beating the Steelers on a regulear basis.
I'm also concered that we've not got a 'great' British player e.g. Tait, Longstaff ect... We need to start producing more players and retaining them unlike James Cooke, we make a half decent fore checking third liner and then release him.
As for tonight i'll congratualte Mr. Boniface who I thought did a splendid job.
The back we looked okay and delt with with Steelers speed, shout out for Corey Neilson, had a great game in my eyes and not afraid to get stuck in.
Fowards we were stone-walled by Jody Lehman, his playing some great hockey at the moment looks like the Lehman that wore the Blue and white of the Blaze a few seasons ago.
Cornish why would anyone want to fight him? His a waste of space, I'm glad Shymr kept his composure whilst the punch bag was bitching off.

I thought that about goalie pens as well... I thought they had to leave the ice for anything but a 2 or a 2+2?
Moot point thought really
