Garbage. For the large part looked like a team that had just met. They've been together 3 months now, not 3 weeks. Passes behind each other, dumps to nobody chasing and how many times were passes straight to a Gilford stick. Aside from a 5 minute burst in the first we were completly dominated.
Whatever happened last week was an exception. That performance was much more of reality.
Why oh why are we playing short. Never mind the fact it's gone to pot since changing that team that beat Belfast, why on earth was Hopkins not in the line up tonight to make 4 complete lines. Total farce.
Nothings changed. Still at least 2 changes from being competitive.
I will say though, I thought Berry did ok all things considered.

Yes you do pay both, but you're paying both types of both fees aren't you (4 in total, rather than 2)? Yeah, you pay it per ticket. Sorry, I see what you are saying. I think it's the ticket price confusing matters. The £15 is a £10 adult ticket and a £5 child ticket(the 2 tickets linked to my account) combined. Not sure why they arn't listed seperately when all the fees are.

Very odd, why would there be a special fee for concessions? And two venue fees? Edit - might be worth checking that, the other fees are the fees they normally charge to concessions: Can't see you'd be meant to pay both. Im fairly sure you do. The admin free has been there some time. The facilty fee started when the new score board appeared as they announced. Then stayed to fund new plexi, ice plant any anything else. The 2 have been a seperate entity for a while now. If you go to buy a ticket it'll quote £20 ticket + 2.80 fees. Yout invoice would theb show the breakdown. The thing I dont really understand is the need to break it all down. Back when tickets were a flat price with no displayed fees then arenas would still be taking their cut. Why the need to list them seperately at all. If they do need to why not just price the fee at the £2.80 or whatever it needs to be. Does it really make anybody feel better knowing xx amount is admin and xx amount is mainatance budget? Baffling. I'd rather just see a ticket at £22.80 to be honest.

I know we are all aware of the fees but sometimes you dont really take it in. Especially as a ST holder who doesnt need to do it to often. 28% of original ticket prices added on top.

Fantastic pricing. Better than kids for a quid. Although im not sure the article reads that well. Especially on twitter where it's split in two. So the £10 adults, £5 kids is only for ST holders? Therefor expecting anybody else to pay full price? If it's solely for ST holders (which is fine) you'd expect little additional fans turning up. Needs to be explained. Just went and checked the website. Tickets without logging in to my account are full price. I think its great to reward ST holders but no reduction at all for others will still equal a small crowd im sure.

So far we've managed 4 wins in the league this season. The only time we've won back to back games was the 3 game streak of Clan, Clan, Cardiff. That was whilst Clan were really in a mess too. Last night was fantastic but if this Flyers game ends how its going now soemthings going to have to change. I'm really not convinced changing coach again helps but if rumours are true that he isn't engaging the players then perhaps it needs to happen. Ideally go get a propper coach who can look at things now ahead of next season as opposed to starting blind again in the summer. Can't go with another fill in player coach though. The highs of yesterday to back to talking about this ey. The joys of being a Panthers fan. Hopefully they can turn this around and we can forget my comments for the time being. Just doesn't look like we'll score 1 tonight, never mind 4. I don’t believe he isn’t engaging the players as was shown last night when they really battled hard for the win but our consistency and road form is something that certainly needs to be addressed and to be honest I wasn’t expecting us to pick up from last night based on previous performances. I do believe you have to be fair when judging these things so it's only fair GG gets credit for results like last night. The locker room stuff is rumour and speculation as opposed to my opinion. Whatever the problem is though, it needs fixing.

Well that's just plain stupid. Surely you take Hazeldine even if he doesn't get much time. An injury to any Dman and he's there at least. I would have played Moore as a 4th line forward and played Archie If Lagrone had to come back in i'd have taken Hopkins as first priority but if not then Archie would 100% have stayed on regular D.

Line-ups released on the gamesheet. Lagrone comes back into defence, Hazeldine misses out and Puffer has been chosen to sit out as well. Hopkins not traveled either so we’re going with 11 forwards. Hopefully this doesn’t cost us. Well that's just plain stupid. Surely you take Hazeldine even if he doesn't get much time. An injury to any Dman and he's there at least.

Praying for a Guilford win the last CC group game tonight. After reading a thread on twitter i've seen that if Coventry win we get Sheffield in the QF. If Guilford win we'd get Belfast. I really cant stomach any more Steelers games this season. Depending on QF dates we could have played them 8 times before even seeing them in a league game. 🤮

They put a shift in last night. High intensity, speed and physicality. Some lovely play, looking like the team they should be. Lines look a bit more like it, and good to see Ferrara get off the mark. Disappointing to concede that goal late in the first (see my earlier posts on "switching off") and I thought Panthers got suckered in to Giants' game plan in the final period. They had to chase the game and score 3, Panthers didn't. No need for big long passes and fancy-Dan play. Keep it simple, your aim is to not let them score, now. Once Panthers started to slow it down a bit and be less aggressive themselves, it looked better. A couple of bounces either way and the result could've been different. Lots of positives though, nice to watch a game where I pay for the whole seat but only use the edge. I commented to friends last night that the lines looked better balanced. Problem now is that Lagrone may be back soon. That'll likely mean Lagrone and Hopkins in. Hazeldine(should be Moore in my opinion)and an import forward out. Of course after last night he could just leave it as is for now.

This game will show us if we've really turned a corner. Wouldn't be at all suprised if we lose this one. Fingers crossed they can ride the momentum.

Belfast are a very good side. Our Performance was fantastic. They came on strong late on as you'd expect. I've seen many a Panthers team choke in that situation. Fair play to the guys, they managed to see it out. Game of the season.

So what's these famous banners like then ... Not true standalone banners, but designed to look a bit like they are. Much, much better than the old banner IMO. Much improved. Still not the real deal. I cant quite decide but im leaning towards just about acceptable

A fantastic period from Panthers. Shame to alliw them 1. Bad timing again and it could cost us.

We were told alot of things over the years yet most of it was utter nonsense! Best one was we couldn't have a jumbotron because the roof couldn't take the weight! And musical instruments were banned too and then suddenly they were allowed. 🤣 Although they did prove rather a damp squib. The drums are still here. Or went and came back again. Anyway, 1 or 2 of them in block 19 every game.

The point of the ‘secondary toughness’ to me isn’t about scrapping necessarily, but in providing a physical edge up front, playing the body and being dynamic on the forecheck. Hunts bonus was that he was a good fighter to boot. Gagnon can deal with the heavies, but the way I read this guy can stick up for his teammates if need be and fight if necessary with some middle weights. The bit I’m most excited about is the hitting on the forecheck. I’d love to see stats on our hit totals, as I’d guess they’d be near the bottom of any kind of table. The amount of times defenceman go behind their goal to retrieve a puck and don’t get checked is infuriating for me, hopefully Ricci plays with an edge and makes behind their own net a more daunting place for D men to go! You are spot on in terms of what he role should be and what secondary toughness is. That hitting and forechecking. I cant honestly say I've ever noticed the guy so of course he get's chance to prove himself. For a guy that hits and will fight to stick up for team mates, aswell as perhaps playing with an edge his career PIMs are quite low. That's why i'm a little concerned as to if he really is a big hitting, protector type.

At least Brassard may have some competition for worst +/- stats now - Ricci leaves Dundee with his at -20! Yes Brassard next to go please, then Puffer and they might start improving ! I still wouldn't get rid of Brassard. Has some credit in the bank from last season. He's proved he's good enough in this league. Get rid of Lagrone and get the pairing set correctly.

Interesting move. Certainly the type of change we need if you read the article. Not sure he's of the quality we need as his points arn't big but neither are his PIMs for a hitting guy willing to fight. If he does play as described in the article though he'll be exactly what we were missing. Here's hoping he brings that much needed energy. 1 or 2 more changes needed.

Panthers leaky deffence and potentially no Debeau too. Yes indeed. What’s Dubeau done...broken finger ? Most of the reports now just state an injury. Last night they said it was his finger so i'd guess it was broken. Im not sure but I rekon it could've been from a Storm player going for a puck as Debeau covered up.
