Belfast look shakey, good time to get them hopefully Nickerson isn't given the freedom to just waltz into our zone unimpeded.

this one has the potential to be a barn-stormer.
both teams have flair aplenty along with more than enough agitation and toughness to keep us all on our toes.
hopefully now the players have been here a while and trained together we'll hit the ground running
4-3 Panthers

Giants haven't had the best start but do have a roster capable of putting up a great performance. If Janssen is fit for the game then it'll certainly make an interesting game, expecting a speedy, physical game from this. It'll be interesting to see how Boxill, Benedict and Higgins perform against us and how they react to the fans, at the very least I hope we give Benedict the welcome and goodbye he deserves, a true warrior on the ice and a huge part of our success in the last 5/6 years.
Decider in this game will be goaltending for me, Murphy doesn't seem up to scratch just yet so hopefully we catch him on another bad night

I know I must be clutching at straws, but is there going to be a webcast for this?.....doubt it very much as it seems that the owner/management seems to feel that by putting on a webcast will reduce attendances

...I hope we give Benedict the welcome and goodbye he deserves... +1 And Boxy & Higgins. I know Higgins wasn't great for us last season but that was down to injuries and being surrounded by average players. Just because Benny "only" had 4 seasons with us (1 more than Foxy btw) means nowt, he was a top top player for us.

I don't care about the reception of Higgins and Boxill they played one year for us, Higgins did alright when he played but due to injury it wasn't frequent enough and Boxill was always putting in the shifts but neither did anything that will make me want applaud them onto or off the ice, as for Benedict I will applaud him off the ice, he was a great contribution to our successful years prior to the last 2 seasons. As for Nickerson he won't have the freedom to skate around like he own the world because we've actually got abit of grit about our play this year and with our forwards being in and a week of training under their belt he'll be doing a lot of defending in this game and if Janssen is and up for it then that's where Nickerson's attention will be. Murphy is abit of a choke artist and I've never really rated him with the best we've seen in Thai league, if we snipe a few early we will run away with things, Bohmbach, Schultz and Moran will I assume have been fine tuning in practise and I'm expect a few goals from them combined. I've said in the post 5-1 panthers and I'm sticking with that.

With Janssen hopefully playing I'm just wondering if there is been a player that Panthers fans have been looking forward to see play more ever (I'm only meaning newcomers not returnees) also could this game be a sell out (apparently it's already 2/3's sold already and with walk ups to go)if it is, other than the Steelers, what has been the highest attendance for a Sunday game?

Probably because they are waiting for all players to arrive to incorporate them all, in regards to the game pretty lacklustre so far going forward, struggling to get passes together and they love this dump and chase routine, hopefully the third will bring some better forward play, D is superb apart from the goal where I thought lee could have done better

Entertaining game but the forward lines aren't really clicking right now. Why Bombach and Schultz aren't paired up is bewildering to me - the first line their share tonight and we score! I'm sure goals will come but the guys aren't linking passes yet. McMillan has impressed me a lot so far but he can't do it all himself.
Defensively we look strong and solid, you can't really ask for more.
As for Janssen, the guy isn't going to get many goals or assists, but crickey what a character!! To stare down Nickerson and have Ollie Betteridge throwing hits on him just shows the impact he has. Fife turned up most games in the past 2 years and Nickerson had a field day, today he didn't want to know.

Like CB says above, play the obvious 1st line of Bombach, Schultz & Moran and then we score. Frustrating but Giants played a good defensive game. Beech looked good for them & Higgins did more than he did all year for us.
Lee on that 4v3 in OT was painful. Should have had Dimmen or Waugh out there. Janssen was entertaining, played the role well. Clearly has a brain which is what is needed for that role. He won't put up many points though.
Early days.

Good game, disappointing not to get the extra point but Belfast are a good side and will do very well this year I think, Janssen is brilliant as stated above he's definitely a good enforcer and his energy and hits are phenomenal, definitely a good asset to our team. I think Lee looks a bit shaky on the PP and that was clear tonight, I distinctly remember two passes in OT on the PP that went astray, maybe something to work on but I would prefer Dimmen to have more time at it, the forwards will click once the lines are regular but Neilson seems to be mix them at the minute maybe to test who works best together

I like a lot about this team. Only thing I think is missing is a natural scorer to put the the chances away. Nothing else is lacking.
Never seen Nickerson and Keefe play so quiet at the NIC this is is due to Cam Janssen. Noting else wrong but the final signing must be a gifted goal scorer. Easy said that done

Positives: we've conceded 4 regular time goals in 3 games which shows our D and Wiikman are performing. Janssen is clearly a deterrent already. Betteridge is a brave young lad but I love it.
Negatives: we've scored 4 regular time goals in 3 games. The last pass is missing and passes are inches too far or short.
Hopefully we can get a game where we can rack up a few goals and get confidence flowing. Still a point is better than nothing
