Panthers Vs. Stingrays Game Thread 10/10/2009

Folks shall we now start looking ahead again..the Hockeyfest is now just chip paper.

A win for the Panfs puts us in the CC Semis and would still be top of the league

5-1 Panthers

HL

i think a full strength hull will be a suprise package this year, close game with plenty of rough stuff (if Knight is playing)

4-3 panthers

[howeaboutthat]

If Hull are full strength I'd go with 4-2 Panthers, with the 4th goal being ENG.

Picked my tickets up yesterday, taking two newbies with me as well so hoping for a good performance.

Fully agree with you HL, back to business, keep on keeping on.

[Zukiwskyfan]

I think Hull will come to play but I still think we'll win pretty convincingly. 5-2 Panthers.

Also hope Knight goes out running around like an idiot. I think after the way Corey spoke about him after the pre season game Bergy will go looking for him. I think Bergin will want to put on a good fight infront of his home fans after last weekend too.

I think it was in the Post and along the lines of 'who the hell's this guy? I've never even heard of him', followed by 'if they're going to target me, maybe I'll target their coach too'.

Hopefully recent criticism will sting the Panthers into serious action.

Not that they've been coming up short playing real hockey.

[malc]

Need get the win here;

Put last Sunday in the past - Cup & League points to be won...

Ah just found it here

(Neilson said)

"Hull are a good, gritty side but if they target me again, I'll target their coach Cloutier."

and

"I wasn't worried about their guy (Knight). Who is he? I don't even know his name."

[panthers4ever]

I will say Panthers to win 5-2 with Bergin vs Knight from the off ( if both are playing )

I would hope that Jorde wants a rematch with Dom too, after the pasting he got last time. I haven't seen D'Amour fight yet...

I think your right, Kev got us two goals and won man of the match (which he deserved!) which in my eyes more than makes up for two loses agains McGoon, but he will probably think he has something to prove.... and if he does who better to prove it with than Knight.

I hope it doesn't happen, I'm there for the game not the fights, but if they have to happen then I'm on my feet and cheering our boys (win or lose).

As for the game, 4-2, we will take an early lead and be 1-0 at the end of the first, with the second letting them draw nearer, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 at the end, then the third period gives us not one but two to secure the win

Jorde's got a broken arm, so that won't be happening.

This should be James Sanford's debut for us, replacing Jorde, will be interesting to see how good he is.

[Rob #12]

oooohhh I see. How did that happen?

[ted]

missed those quotes first time round.

Team hollywood syndrome though? remember when Tommo said similar things dismissing CN....

Might have cash on Hull this weekend :s

[Walter]

Either way.....saying no more. Will be there on Saturday, saved mi pennies up from mi pension. See you in TD's Phil.

[howeaboutthat]

How will he recognise you? Will you wear a red rose? I'll be the four-eyed cripple with the walking stick in case he stands you up?

Neilson geared up for weekend.. (audio interview)

Taken from THF (I think its originally from the Hull Daily Mail):-

EXCEL Hull Stingrays have released Ryan Jorde with immediate effect, following an off-ice incident.

The 27-year-old defenceman joined in the summer and impressed in his first five games.

However, the Canadian – who was supposed to be the team's blueline kingpin – had been sidelined since breaking his arm blocking a shot against Edinburgh on September 19.

The club have since signed fellow Canadian James Sanford as injury cover, with a view to releasing one of their other imports.

Stingrays, though, are adamant their decision to show Jorde the door was entirely coincidental and unconnected with Sanford's arrival.

Team owner Sue Pack said: "Ryan Jorde has been released by the club following a non-playing related incident.

"From a playing point of view, Ryan started the season well and had fully contributed prior to picking up his injury.

"However, we felt as an organisation we were left with no alternative but to release him.

"As a club we will not be making any more detailed comment now or in the future."

Jorde flew out of Britain at 5am today.

Pack also confirmed a Latvian defenceman is currently training with the club.

However, she said, the un-named player is not part of the Stingrays' plans.

"He's not on trial with us and can't be as he is not registered with us and would need an International Transfer Card to play, although as an EU citizen he is entitled to fly in and fly out of Britain if he wishes," she said.

"He is purely training with us, and he is not part of our decision-making process on team changes."

Hull fans... what happened!

It's taken me a while to notice, but we are hopefully playing in October not September lol.

I'd be very suprised if there wasn't any scraps

doubly important game with challenge cup qualification on the line but i'm confident for the win... 4-2 panthers

[Uppercut]

4-1 panthers fancy clarke to get some a couple of goals

[panthermatt23]

Well just managed to book my tickets ( friday morning ) and really supprised to have got row c block 5 so close to the game. but hey not complaining and now looking forward to both games this weekend as off the the Coventry fan dome sunday too. anyway game predictions. i feel panthers will be so fired up after sunday and out to prove a point. i just hope we dont chase it too much and want to prove too much of a point and go away from the game plan thats been working so well. panthers if we keep cool and ksp come out AWAKE to win 4-2 . come on boys shake off last sunday !!!
