Glad this game don't mean much as I think we need to feel out steelers before we play them in the league. Think Steelers are our biggest rival for the title. Gonna be a tough game especially away from home.

Very difficult one to call, both on hot streaks. Panthers yet to concede more than 2 so far this season and have only lost once which came in OT. Steelers remain unbeaten but have played less, got given tough games from Dundee and today from Belfast despite their demolition of the Giants last night.
With our defensive record as strong as it is so far I'm expecting a low scoring game which is likely to feature OT. And again, that strength in D and in net to lead us to take the two points, 2-1 is my guess.
Janssen will also play a key role in this game for me and we could do with showing Steelers early on that we won't be taken lightly and that anything borderline dirty will be responded too. Can't wait for this one

This really is going to be very interesting, 2 of the best 3 teams going at it and I don't know how this one is going to go. I believe that it is very important that the Officials are not a factor, What is a penalty for one time is the same for the other team as well as if a penalty is called in the 1st minute then it's a penalty in the 59th minute.
I can see Sheffield try to be as physical as the Panthers (Their fans won't allow them to be bullied on home ice)
As this is just a CC game, will it go to Penalty Shots if tied after Overtime or will it end in a draw?

Both teams have already qualified. Not sure if we'll get any answers on title credentials from this game tbh.

if we go there with the game plan of relying to heavily on Wiikman we could get hammered.
It will be close and im going 3-2 either way

Should be a good game, I don't think the fact it's challenge cup will change the outlook of the game, it's the first meeting and you want to put a marker out. I'm hoping we commit to the game fully and play how we have been of late, Fitzgerald will be completely occupied by Janssen and will want to fight him but I can see Janssen not rising to it unless necessary, I can also see Cam playing a big role with his hits, energy and putting their D on edge because they'll know he's going to line them up! I'm predicting a win from this one, 4-2 panthers.

Think Sheffield will win this with a little help from the officials - hope that does not happen as so far this season they, on the whole seem to be letting the games flow

I think they'll win, not by much but in regulation, and face off will be delayed by 30 minutes. The last bit is more inevitability than prediction.

first meeting (of many) lol, hope you guys bring a lot of fans even though its not a 'huge' game as such.
this one for me wont be as dead rubber as some might think imo, i may eat my own words on that lol but as previous posters put its a feeling out game, but i expect markers to be put down by both sides.
honestly looking forward to this i had us both and Giants as top 3 sides this season and after the weekend n what we did to the Giants its time to see how we match up. its hard for me to say this but really a fan of a few of your players, hoped we would sign Bohmbach as i was already a fan, Kolnik is one to watch id say. but the game changer was easily Janssen, wasnt overly worried about you guys until he signed, he makes a lot of difference.
it looks like you lot are coming together at the right time, we have simular qualities, your defense ive heard n from what ive seen will be key against us, weve got great speed, if you guys can match that then we may struggle, we seem to get panicked in scrappy games when other teams force us to rush plays.
and not sure who said it but it wont be us trying to rough things up, so far every team we have played couldnt cope with our speed so naturally tried to slow us down by getting rough. im sure you guys can keep up with us if we play like we have been.
all eyes on Janssen and Fitzy im sure, honestly Fitzy has been great so far he has done his job well n within rules too lol, made some great plays along the way. good dman. Janssen everyone would love to have you guys are very lucky, cant wait to watch him forecheck n battle our d.
finally my quick heads up review on who to watch. Plante v Wiikman will be great to watch all season imo, Plante is very good technically and laterally. bit of edge to his game which is good. frustrated a few lines this season n got ran for it lol.
obvs Mosi Roy are the main guys atm, but ones under radar are Coyle, someone to match or even better Mosey's wheels.....seriously.
Vestberg, probs will go on to be most underrated player this season.
other new guys, Duco can be quiet in spells but does his job well on a high energy line. effective player, can be a game changer. Moyer, very good dman him and Sarich look great as a pairing, good with the puck disapline and composure. and surprisingly some good speed,
leggy has new life when with Nelson, who is quality, potential to be our best player. brings everything but one you guys wont like n opposition fans as im sure you will see.
ill end this now, sorry for long post, those are my thoughts so far. expecting a good game saturday, expecting week after to be the dead rubber game were one of us will slack off.
enjoy the game on sat.

oh i forgot to add, i hope for both our sakes the officials dont spoil things, im sure you dont ant Darnell? we defo dont want Hicks lol. officiating has been poor so far this season, biggest thing atm for me is the refs inability to handle the occasions, (best way i can put it) prime example. a hit was missed, the home crowd made noise booing etc, the ref looking the other way called a pen, presuming the hit wa made and it was bad haha, some laughable stuff this season already.
another great example, Sewell made the funniest bad call when we played the Blaze, Noble (hate him) came steamrolling in on a puck dumped into our zone, it was along the boards for a while before noble cam from blueline, Sarich moved the puck, sttood next to boards, luckily saw the hit at last min and took it well, so wellhe was pinned to boards, Noble bounced off him.........Sewell somehow calls Sarich for....Tripping haha
see you all on saturday

On the topic of referees, the 2 ref system seems to have gone out of the window? Was that announced pre-season and I missed it?

Which are the away blocks at Sheffield? 101, 102 (lower), 201, 202 (upper). Go for either 02 block is my advice.
