Our best result was a 8-3 home win at the beginning of December. We've lost 3-1 at home twice. The other home match, we won 3-2.

Well I'm sure in about 3 of those games there's been an empty net goal. Still, considering we'll be pumped up for this game after waiting for it for about a month, I'm sure we can pull something out of the bag

For those asking about TV/ radio coverage, you can watch Fridays game on giantslivetv. For those who've got this in the past and said never again, it's a very much improvedn product this season. Saturdays game is on Premier Sports so there's no Giants webcast.

On past form I would expect us to beat you guys over two legs with perhaps a 2-0 or 2-1 lead going into the NIC. However you guys own this Cup and that in itself should be enough to spur you on. It is a cliche without a doubt but a lot will depend on the two teams that decide to play on Friday. Panthers have been poor at times but at others there have been shades of 2012/13. Giants have been excellent pretty much all season but since the league was won they have struggled at times to maintain decent play through 3 periods.
Whatever happens I hope all of you who are coming over have a great time. They have all the seats out for both games and it looks close to being a sell out. May the best team win!

Just to confirm the game will be on giantslive.tv — we've had a great response this season to improved commentary, stream and so on. We'll have a wireless camera in the building tonight to add a few extra on-ice shots and to the guy asking about DVDs — there's a digital download available of pretty much every game this season, and tonight will be the same. All the best David @ giantslive.tvPS If you have any support requests please first read the FAQs page, and then direct your question to email support@giantslive.tv !

Praying for Benedict and Francis to be on the ice this evening. 2 real work horses of the team and both extremely good defensively. Get some pain killers in em! Hopefully 16 days of the season left then they can all have a nice long break....

This gets worse the more I think about it and makes Henley's selfish play in a totally meaningless game even more frustrating.
We look set to have a 6 man D corps consisting of a career forward (Loyns, who is also our only fit centre). Lee (Who is reportedly not fit). Weaver (Who will have to play 20-25 minutes minimum). Oreskovic, Werner and Norton.
Loyns Lee
Weaver Oreskovic
Werner Norton
Up front im struggling. Maybe something like.
Salters Farmer Lacho
Boxill Ryan Clarke
Kalus Jacina Saari
or maybe just go with 2 lines to start with
Salters Jacina Lacho
Kalus Ryan Clarke
Saari Farmer Boxill
I think they will have to battle for every puck and hope that Kowalski has one of those games.
Giants will never have a better chance to take our Challenge Cup and they really should be looking to kill this dead tonight with at least a 4 goal margin.
If we do get spanked I hope Henley feels like he has let his team mates, the club and the fans down.

Blimey - that's scary looking, considering:-
How light on numbers we are - i make that 9 imports including Saari
How many square pegs are in round holes - a forward on D and 2 wingers playing Centre
How many players are playing injured - Lee, Kalus and Farmer that we know of
How many shifts our 10th (Boxill) and 11th (Saari) forwards will have to play
K-Wall really will need to stand on his head tonight as I think there will be loads of rubber heading in his direction.
Hope Henley has been made to go and carry sticks, fill up water bottles etc. What a plank.

Should have signed a squad and carried spares. For a professional sports team to carry no injury cover is a complete joke

That 3rd line if saari farmer boxill would be a proper gritty workhorse line, granted not that skilful but they could go up against a skill line for the giants and just wear then out in the corners

May have signed extra players Matt but we have NO import injury cover at all and NO i dont count Saari as he would not be employed as a full time pro by any other club in the Elite League. Sheffield have carried a player spare most of the season it would not be unreasonable to expect the panthers to do the same especially as we have had alot of injury issues this season. In fact it would have been prudent to do so especially as there was a deadline...
This to me is another example of where the panthers have already wrote off our season and are not i suspect "spending good money after bad" even though imho it is shortchanging the fans...
