Cheers, I was one of the "loonies" at the back few rows where the panthers fans sat. Apologies if I offended any "Caps" fans. Nearly got chucked out so I will be on my best behaviour tonight (maybe?) My first time in Edinburgh, which is a cracking city! I would be out till later but I am a tad short of cash, but hey the internet which I have just logged onto is free, and I have got a 42" inch wide screen tv to watch, either cable stations or a selection of DVD's.
I am thinking of supporting the "Caps" for tonights game, so if you see someone in a "jimmy hat" it is probly me, so say hi.
Spoke to Kevin Bergin after the game, and said we wanted the panthers to score 7 in Sudays game, to which he replied "we will do our best"
Good luck to the caps though tonight!

Im pretty sure the caps fans dont need pity. Infact most of the caps fans I know dont like being looked down upon as the injured animal of the league that needs other teams fans to 'support' them.
Let Barry Chuckle make their noise

I just hope he doesn't play Wooly from the start. I hope he does Wooly is our back up and needs game practice should he be needed. Don't want to be like England having not practiced penalties I understand he was promised 10 starts so tonight seems ideal - have a bit of faith in the lad man |

wooly is a back up, he is signed as so, i think it is a lack of respect to your starting netminder to promise the back up games.
geoff was probably promised starts to prevent him from leaving, but so what if he leaves, you don't hear of other back ups getting promises for starts, if a back up doesn't like being back up they should find a club where they will be starting nm
I'm confident we will win but i believe we should play our best team at all times and whilst parley is fit he should play

We have the momentum coming off the back of last nights victory, it would be wrong to start Woolhouse IMO. Build up a big lead and bring him on if we're that desperate to give him ice time but let's have Parley starting the game. |

He's shown that he is more than capable of playing well in nets. He's had some great bit parts and performances in th past few years (as well as hs fair shareof cockerel-ups) but he has the ability to play a full game against the Caps. It's a long season and being able to rest Parley for the odd game is a very useful option. |

People bang on about how good Geoff is and he deserves his chance blah blah blah.. But have you ever thought the whole team plays more defensive knowing Geoff is in nets? Parley should play every game if he's fit enough too, i've no problems Geoff being in nets if we have nothing to play for but at this moment in time we have everything to play for. What if Geoff plays tonight and we lose and finish second in the league by one point at the end of the season? I know its far fetched but its there..  |

would we let tess have a rest and play a younger player or a lions centre instead?
No, so why play wooly?

Really hoping for a good game tonight got the paypal sorted getting the match booked i dont care who is in the goal as long as the panthers play well can not see mr nielson taking risks with precious points in the league though and lets face it geoff is probably the best young brit goalie on the scene, behind lyle and murphy in the gb team methinks.

The skaters will get extra rest every time the younger lads get on the ice. Difference here is that you can't realistically change NMs every time the whistle blows. So while all the other kids get their chance, Geoff sits there warming the bench. I think it's perfectly reasonable to give him a certain number of starts each season to aid his development. IF he played really badly then he would get gassed anyway. |

No goalie in the world plays every game of the season, even Brodeur. With all due respect to Woolhouse though, he's hopeless at this level. If he played the whole season he'd end with a SV% of around the 90 mark or lower. Granted, nobody expects him to be ace, but it's too much of a risk to play him in a competitive away game. |

You should play your best team all the time when it counts for something.
Even Hasek had to warm the bench last year in the playoffs while osgood was on his game.
What if we lose tonight and are 2 points short of the league champs at the end. Play Wooly when we're clear and can't be caught at the end of the season.

would we let tess have a rest and play a younger player or a lions centre instead? No, so why play wooly? That situation (not specifically with Tessier) has happened in every game so far this season. Even Simms has said that Geoff is the best back-up in the League, but he won't stay that if he's sat on his arse every game. |

Don't take everything Simms says as black and white.

What Peacock is saying is that the youngsters are getting equal shifts with Tess and co for the most part. Graham, Lacho, Neilly. When they are playing they arent bench warming What forwards play a full 60 mins anyway  |

noticed the 'edit', did you add that smart comment after some thinking What i was trying to say is if we didnt play tessier for the whole match, not even dressed on the bench and played a youngster or lion. Won't and will never happen unless he's injured, so why play our back-up re wooly being the best back-up in the league, i'm not so sure, is Dan Green still back-up in the elite? |

I added my ctual response in the edit!!! as yes I see what you mean. I do fully agree. It shows disrepect to Edinburgh, their fans, and more importantly, our travelling fans to not play the best we possibly can.... if Wooly starts that is |

got to agree with sambo on this one, wooly is capable and does well every time he is asked to NM for us. So i ask why the negativity about him, i watched the game last week and the only reason we didnt win that was curtis and his usual one man lets stop the panthers game plan! wooly was quite rightly and deservedly MOM.
So if he goes with wooly great if he goes with davis still great, all we need to do is score more than them simple really!
One more thing for the negative bunch dont you think it would be nice to know that if Davis picked up a virus or injury, that we have a back up who has a fair bit of experience and confidence to bring to the table!
