Kwall - decent as ever Modig - needs to control his rebounds Berube - average and not an enforcer Landry - good player would have him back Schmidt - absolutely Schmidt (word play) Mosey - find of the season would have him back Wild - awesome hope he's signed already Cohen - awesome when he wants to be plays too much
Graham - horrible season! What happened?! Doucet - little gem would have him back Benny - workhorse Parent - workhorse Lawrence - lazy as hell but very skill full and an unreal shot Higgins - awesome hands and moves, needs to stay fit
Keep the brits, farmer boxill and Lee have had good years Clarke is unlucky to be out all year, Lacho has been pants!

Another game another loss, not like it wasn't expected, struggle to score, players out injured, a coach with only plan A and continual passing from D to D in our own zone for about 10 minutes a game. Let's be ruthless and say Corey out Adey in start from scratch and let's actually give he league a good go next year! Then again with the clan in Europe how bad is our budget going to be hit?!

The game was abit gross after the opening 10 minutes but hey we beat get used to mediocre performances with the Clan likely to go into the CHL next season Mr Black is going to have to stump up the cash for that so our budget is going to take a hit! Thinking we're going to be seeing similar players coming in and similar performances unless we can use Loughborough Uni's sports scholar scheme to save use some money in wages and get the uni giving them a couple of grand.

Schmidt has been pants all year, how has he not been replaced, turns slower then a boat, no speed and doesn't hit! Berube ive lost patience with, decent in games but I thought he was policing things this year? Just stands around when things get rough, Landry I rate and would have him back next year. We've missed Salters massively this season, just hope we make the CC final and playoff finals weekend!

Classic Panthers saying coming up "we'll win the league next year" just wondering from the current crop of imports who do we keep and who do we replace, and who would you like to see come in?
KWall Modig
Wild Cohen Landry Berube Schmidt Mosey
Jacina Lawrence Higgins Doucet Graham Benedict Parent

Poor performance, big players didn't turn up, just heard that Lawrence and Graham have turned up at the rink to play, but late guys, Parent to be left out a game like this is poor, very underrated player and personally think he along with Juice, Benny and Farner are the only players who bust a gut to play for the team and the rest just skate through. We've got the capability to beat every team we've proved it already this season, the sooner Lee and Wild are back the better, hugely frustrated with Berube! If Hewitt elbows your star forward don't just give him a nudge no option him and beat the crap out of him! Too many players half bumming it this year!!

The conferences were put in place to reduce teams outgoing in travel accommodation ect weren't they? I like the system but it does offer braehead an advantage now then can compete financially with the big boys. It works too well in other aspects of the league to not have them in place. If we want to win the league we can't afford any more slip ups against any team simple as that you've got to beat those around you and win the "easy" games

Panthers to win 6-2 with a chorus of "it's all your fault" and let's hope Tanaka gets just a little too big for his boots and he gets his bum handed to him on a plate

The officiating last night was diabolical, I sit in block 11 low down and the above comment about holding the stick was a joke, the cardiff player pulled himself up using a panthers stick and the red did nothing, he also called cross checking when a cardiff player lost and edge and missed all the cheap shots Jacina was receiving. Officiating aside it was by far the best home game I've seen along with pounding the steelers! Jacina, Parent & Benny stood out for me and as always wild on D was solid and his pass for Landry was a thing of beauty!! More of the same for the rest of the season!! Blaze on Friday im very confident we'll will

Panthers to win 6-1 hope Bettridge plays he had a solid game against them Boxing Day when he iced, played the body well as well Now way we will deliver that scoreline, I think we lose but it will be close..... Might not have been 6-1 but it really could have been, panthers vs steelers this season im yet to worry pre game even in the games we've lost to them or been losing.

Reading in the post he's lookibg to achieve more in Europe as he has the infamous "unfinished business" in Europe then he'd look to return to nottingham if still healthy. He's also done a segment on dangerous player bringing the league down ie grimaldi and those who go out looking to injure the opponents with cheap shots like kneeing ect. He also comments on wages so if assume we couldn't coug up what he was looking for to bring bf him back this season

That's the spirit . . . Ok I'll reconsider my score line and be optimistic enough for both of us then bud!! 5-1 panthers having a goal washed out for man in the crease.

Corey no longer part of the set up, is he putting 100% focus into the Panthers or is he slowly cutting ties and moving on to coach elsewhere next season? Say this does happen who would be first choice as coach?

Think we've got money in the budget to add these two to the roster: Douglas Murray (nhl free agent) Dustin Penner (nhl free agent)

Panthers: Nick Boynton - just awesome when he came over during the lockout, his slapshots were ridiculous and I remeber him scoring from just outside the offensive zone against coventry with a shot I could even see I heard him shoot then it was in the net and he could hit aswell!
Jordan Fox - great skill, great awareness, awesome forward and defensemen, great positional play, big hipchecks, mad hands and captained the grand slam team!
Jeff Heerema - purely for the screamer he scored in the playoffs!! Really good player aswell.
Other teams Jon Pelle Neil Martin Wade Belak

In going to construct this comment in a Gary Moran style: "Bad bounces cost us, bad reffing cost us, lucky/fluke goals for them, we worked hard but it just didn't click, playing short takes its toll and the hockey gods are against us" Now back to me and I'm dubbing this weekend "the turning point" panthers to sneak it 2-1 in sheffield and then 9-4 win at home in a blow out game where Graham fibds his stick Higgins dekes every player going and we throw the body all night!! After all it's christmas so I'm entitled to have wishful thinking.

Imagine the buzz if we get dominated on Boxing Day. Yet Henley and penner appear in the line up for the 27/12 and we go out swinging. Every single player would come out a foot taller. I'd cancel the clear out. At least we'd be entertained. It would be good but after that first game, then the DOPS review, the 10 game bans each - not for any fighting, for some standard run of the mill trip. we would be 2 imports down and no entertainment. It would be s spectacle that's for sure!! I seem to recall Newcastle filling their line up with fighters years back and that worked. Think we should adopt a cardiff ethos of you can't beat them (score wise) beat them (fist wise) we need someone tough who doesn't mess about and doesn't take crap! Henley, Penner, McMorrow would do me for the rest of the season, there would be a big change in results as the skill guys would have more time to play and score

Hi just a few pointers from last night's game, and no im not having a gloat or any digs ok but one geniune question i have is what the hell does farmer, Graham and lawrence bring to your team?. For the size lawrence and graham are they should be planting players into the boards left right and centre, or making big open ice hits but they both play like kids (no disrespect to kids by the way) graham was hit off the puck by walton whose probably the smallest guy on the devils team!!, plus when clarkson grabbed him honest to god he looked s%^& scared?, the only thing lawerence did was help parent to punch batch when batch was flat on his back on the ice in the last 5 mins and got himself kicked out. Farmer well he is something else, there was a scrum in front of bowns and as per usual he was chirping calling players out, clarkson grabbed him and i dont think he was expecting it, the look on farmers face was priceless. When Doug skated back to the bench farmer skates behind the lino chirping and giving it the big i am from the bench, even neilson told him to shut it!!. From that point when doug was on the ice farmer nade a very quick shift change, he skated in to hotham at the end of p2 so funny watching him waving his arms around as if a sniper had him from row G lol. He didnt contribute anything last night given you guys were so short benched. It was a good game and the devils didnt really let you play your game apart from a 10 min spell where you scored two, but a few of your guys werent interested at all, they were already on the bus home even neilson look uninterested!!! In what world is farmer going to fight clarkson? He's there to agitate and get under the skin and draw penalties against other teams he's just not disciplined enough for the role, hopefully he'll learn.

Lepine is the captain of his ECHL team so I'd think he's a no return and still could be pulled up to the AHL. We clearly need some toughness and Mr marmite Henley was a beast, if not him then there's plenty of former NHL tough guys doing nothing.

I think that as paying customers that contribute to the wages of the team we should all boycot a game, that would make for an interesting week of meetings for the panthers hierarchy and I wonder what we'd see on the website. wonser if it's ever been done

Does anyone know what the attendance figures were for last night? It suffered because of first having a late kick off that's for sure *forest
