I didn't really think we were 5 goals better than them tbh, but they fell apart in the 3rd period. Good 2 (4 really) points though. Never seen someone so excited to win MotM though

I was a little disappointed with the 1st two periods, I think Panthers gave the puck away to many time when trying to clear defence, thought Lacho had a better game tonight, Panthers played very good last 10 mins

I was a bit annoyed with our fans tonight, storm fans were making more noise throughout the game but oh well! In regards to the game it was brilliant, really impressive, Moran and Kolnik need to play together without a doubt they are on the same wavelength, we play a good physical game which is brilliant, plenty of checks and we battle very hard in the corners something panthers sides have never done, add to that the pace and quality skaters like Schultz, Bohmbach and Lacho, I think we look top drawer, absolutely brilliant! I was a bit disappointed with MOM award, Moran bagged a hat trick, an assist and should have got another assist but it was awarded to swindlehurst, he's going to be the key man for us

No-one has mentioned the Storm goalie firing the puck into Block 5? After the final hooter. Diabolical behaviour. Surely the DOPS should have a look at that
On a side note. Just loving Janssen. Polices the ice perfectly, and obviously loves it here already.

Never seen someone so excited to win MotM though I thought he looked embarrassed at first! It should have been Moran's and he knew it. Also Cam is absolutely terrifying. When he went for a hit and missed in front of block 17 I thought he was going to go through the glass and wipeout the front row. He generates such speed and power, it has defenceman thinking about avoiding being hit rather than playing the puck.

Waughs out for a few weeks. Gutted for him and us, he's a very good D-Man.
Love Cam
Kalemba and Pacha lost the plot in brilliant fashion.
Moran and Kolnik look superb. So glad Moran is here for 2 years.
Wiikman nearly goes in for a fight.
Great night and onto Blaze

Wasn't Moran announced as having got the misconduct after his hat-trick goal? Did well to get that after being jumped during his celebration. Probably why he didn't get MOTM because he wasn't out there (even though Schultz is down in the game sheet as having a misconduct and I'm sure I saw him go down the tunnel after the scrum).
Kolnik and Moran played like a dream, awesome pairing. If Lacho can stick with them he'll have a good season, he's very good when paired with 2 players who have a good connection (Bellamy & Ryan, Francis & Salters).
Kalemba bit of a tool in the last 10 minutes to be honest, never seen the 2 players in front of the goalie ploy before but it definitely got in his head.
Loved it when Corey put Janssen - Myers - MacMillan together for a shift or 2 every period. That's a whole lotta crash, bang, wallop right there.
Worst the defence has looked all season, good job it happened tonight and not next weekend or could have been a bit messy. Hope Waugh isn't too badly hurt, our transition isn't great even with him out there but without him it was looking very poor.
More positives than negatives though, can't wait for next week should be 2 classics! (Well on paper).

I thought it was Schultz too, 14/24 though, so I didn't know if I'd misread it.

That was a really enjoyable game, you cant not like Janssen. Great to see our forwards start to click, hopefully having more injuries wont upset the lines too much. I have to admit I would be worried if we played like that again Steelers. The team still has a long way to go and Im hoping its just them taking time to get used to Coreys systems.

I'm pretty sure Shultz went down the tunnel. Moran had to be nailed on for MOM although Kolnik was also excellent, having said that we can count on one hand how many MOM awards are given to the correct person as I'm sure the sponsors just pick their favourite player for a photo with them.
The officials were garbage all night. The linesman with no number must have been plucked out of the crowd just before the game. Their second goal looked liked a blatant icing, Lacko nearly scored a one on one when they should have blown for offside. The ref was fussy and as someone else has mentioned, how the goalie got away with firing the puck into the crowd when people are celebrating is beyond me. That was so dangerous.
I'll probably get lynched for this but I thought we were pretty poor in main and my biggest issue is the Brits, they were terrible. Farmer falling over his own feet just about sums him up and poor old Stevie (who I'm a big fan of) couldn't trap a bag of cement.

Great end to the game after 2 periods of average hockey. The defence seemed all over the shop, even before Waugh got injured. Our offence seemed a bit like the last few games, created great chances but couldn't find the finishing touch, it all changed in the 3rd period though, Moran and Kolnik played brilliantly together, both achieving 4 point games. Hopefully that's tge start of a great partnership.
Janssen looked hungry and energetic as always, certainly brings a strong advantage to us when he's on the ice despite not being brilliant in the skills department, threw a few solid hits and got inbetween players when things started hearing up, just a shame nobody wants to fight or do anything when he's around.
Wiikman had a solid game again, defence should've been there to prevent one of the goals at least but still a great performance. Was awesome seeing him offer Kalemba to a fight in the 3rd, great passion from the guy! He wasn't happy with Kalemba at all, his brother Marko mentioned a few things he was talking about after the game, mainly revolving around Kalemba and being a disgrace!
Brilliant game overall, the boys will be buzzing for the game against Coventry today despite having lost Waugh for a few weeks.

Dull game until the last 5-10 minutes.
Wins a win though and I'll take that every time.

Waugh has broken ribs, he'll be out for a lot longer than a few weeks. I've had em, and in a contact sport you ain't coming back in two weeks!!

1/2 months for broken ribs , the website says he may need an operation . and no sign of anyone returning soon by the sound of it. looks like another season of injury woe.

Does anyone think they will gas Waugh if he is sidelined for a couple of months? If I remember rightly Jay Henderseon was injured early in the season and he was gassed pretty quickly, think they said it was his back & he wouldn't play again only for him to recover and play back home. On a separate note is the 'big' signing hoping his visa will be excepted? & is he really what we need? (iginla)

Nowadays you can sign as many imports as you like, so long as only 11(+2 duals/euros) are in the match-day squad. I've been impressed with Waugh, and unless it's a season ender I'd keep him on but be looking for a short-term replacement (non-duals/euros can play for 3 months without a visa).

I'd be surprised, and disappointed, if we got rid of him. Don't think we will. Agree with BigLad that we just need to bring a short term replacement in for him, although with the speed we make signings he'll probably be back by the time that guy arrives.
Isn't he a uni deal too? So maybe here for 2 years?
