I think you have to play in at least 2 junior seasons to qualify Is there an age requirement for that too? As in, a player must play 2 seasons in the British junior system over the age of 15 or something. Conway left the UK aged 14 and has never been selected for Team GB, I'd assume there is something preventing that other than a personal decision. His season in the NCAA ended last month. There are different rules for Team GB anyway, hence why Mosey can play. The rule around juniors is an elite league only rule, i think.

The simple fact is with the money Finnerty had in Braehead coupled with the massive advantage he had from the cushy conference, he should have won silverware. He won nowt. I think I'll pass

Over the moon that this has been announced, however i have been following this club for many years, so it wouldn't surprise me if he signed for Sheffield then goes on to win it all.

Rumours floating around the Twittersphere is that we may lose some players. To be fair I wouldn't feel upset at any player for jumping ship now. The players are there and can see the problems for themselves and it’s pretty obvious that there are big problems and it’s not a happy dressing room. Just watch the Steelers next time we play them banging gloves and geeing each other up before face off. Then watch what our players do. TBF not really doing them any favours. The only team they can beat at the minute is us.

It's a question that's bothered me for years and can't answer it ? Why doesn't this fan base demand higher standards? Fans of other teams have commented why do Panthers fans seem to have this losers mentality and not one of say Sheffield for example . There's never any pressure put on the Panthers Org to make sure things are put right Well, I think you have your answer now, Pidge. There’s never any pressure put on the Panther’s organisation because nobody can be bothered. Just 7 people so far are willing to try something. If the excuse is “well I don’t go anymore”, then I would say you’ve lost the right to come on here and moan. You DID go, and you must still care about the team to be on here every 5 minutes. You could at least come back for the protest game. I’m also surprised at the number of people who seem to be in fear of Black and Moran. Your right to peaceful protest and peaceful assembly is assured by European Law.
I applaud simon for trying, those who signed up, and Yotes for his honesty! I would still get involved, but I am nearly 70, and will probably be long gone before we get 100 committed fans! Sam Oakford used a phrase which I absolutely hate, but I can see now that he was probably right. We have an awful lot of keyboard warriors. Only in a public place, not in a privately hired arena.

...I don’t like blaming players but Lee needs to shoulder the blame on that one... Thats CAPTAIN Lee to you. You know Captain. A leader of men, an organiser, a communicator... Oh... ermm... definitely {awkward silence}

1st and last game of the season for me last night. In fact i will not spend another pound on this team until there has been major changes. I hadn't attended a game in 18 months and the tactics are identical what they were before, its insane. Dump and no chase. Pass to the blue line for a slapshot on the pp. Thank you Panthers for reminding me why I struggle to justify £60 a game.

Wow thats an exercise in saying lots of words without actually saying anything at all. The most alarming part to me is he hasnt sat down and dissected all the defeats. What the actual....? EDIT: to me those are the words of a man who is passed caring and preparing for an exit. (May be wishful thinking though)

I just think it’s pretty boring going over and over the dip. We are on a decent run of form at current, let’s at least try and have some cheer and optimism? Unfortunately that “dip” currently runs at five seasons. It won’t just go away, especially considering our coach’s recent ill advised comments. Bit out of the loop here, can anyone link me to these 'Ill advised comments'?

Whats Paul Adey doing these days...? If i had my way we would have someone like Adey as a Director of Hockey Operations, they make the signings and pick the coach. That way we could keep GM on (if we really have to) to look after the business side.

I'm curious, why is it when you speak to me in the Bunkers you never mention the clear problems that you have with what we say on the podcast? You know we are all reasonable people happy to talk to anyone so I'm a bit disappointed that you choose to vent at us from behind an anonymous user name on a forum. How can it be an anonymous username when you clearly know who it is? You said you see them in the Bunkers, so hardly anonymous is it?

Free tickets for this one & my 15 month old is going to his first game. No wonder the seats are looking very sparce if they're giving away freebies. Nothing aimed at you Shinobi but the 'freebies' are getting larger and larger we had the 2 rows behind us in block 14 all on free on Saturday obviously a school and they messed around all night, not interested in the game one bit. its a bit of 'P' take on the season ticket holders Its an even bigger P take for people like me (ie paupers) who buy the tickets when they can and then only have the option of the back row.

I think Garrett is a big game player and will hold up strong in games against Sheffield and Belfast, but less so against opposition that won’t test him over a full 60 mins. To an extent yes,maybe in half the big games so far but.......a goals against average of 3.6 per game and a saves record of 89% ain't good. He's ranked 9th in both categories for league goalies too. 😳 It doesn't help his stats that we tend to play Galbraith against the smaller teams in the league either.

Who picked who then ? It's all gone very quiet at the moment. The match ups were supposed to be being finalised at the EIHL meeting two days ago on the 28th ! Unless you've got a Flux Capacitor you may want to hang fire a few days. We haven't played our final group stage game yet.

Has Goulakos played since "Fretter-Gate"? I thought Keefe said he'd be out longer than his ban as he has concussion... He can't be injured, as I remember all the Steeltalk Medical Consultants saying he can't be as he was talking to a teammate after the incident.

I quite like them tbh. Mostly because i have a thing about stars and that it has Nottingham on the shirt at last.

Let’s beat them, qualify for the next round and get our trophy back. I’m getting a bit tired of reading other fan forums saying we’re not getting it done domestically. With no Europe to worry about, time to throw some weight into these games. What league are they looking at then....We're top ! There has been a lot of comments on places like Steeltalk along the lines of 'Nottingham aren't exactly blowing teams away...' which shows a remarkable lack of understanding about what makes our team this year special... our team wins because of hardwork and grit, not scoring 8 goals against Dundee then going missing against Belfast.

And aren't you the person who wants to put kids "through the boards"? What are you trying to say? Don't hit Liam Kirk because he's 17? He can score just the same as any "adult". Agreed, if he is playing in a professional (haha) league with adults, they are fair game. I don't expect any player to pull out of a hit thinking 'oh hes only 17 i cant hit him.' If they can't take a hit go back to the juniors.
