If we can get 4 points from these Blaze games we should be in decent shape going into 2016

[titch]

Blaze are doing very well at the moment, these games could have been classed as two easy ones a few games ago but I reckon they'll be a lot harder than seems. Saying that, with Wiikman in the net, I can't see us getting any less than 3 points this week!

[BigLad]

We need to overcome our Skydome Hoodoo.

Stewart has been playing really well at the moment so lets hope he has a bad one tonight.

[Yotes]

What time do we start tonight? 7.30?

i think so.

[iginla]

Somebody tell me when Panthers wake up.....our defence are half asleep so far !

[panthers_nyr]

3-1 Blaze and not even the end of the first.. Need to stop chasing the game everytime.

[Bolts]

Are we in it or just getting spanked?

[pantherlee]

Our away form is utter cack at the moment

[iginla]

Defence asleep yet again for the third goal.

Come on Corey give them a bloody rocket up their backside in the first break !!!!!

[dp]

Our away form is nowhere near as bad as Perring's. Blimey it takes some talent to be that bad at reffing. I can't skate and I know nothing about the rules, but I'm confident I'd make a better ref than him. Even the Blaze commentators are a bit dumfounded.

[cooperphil156]

Ollie hits the pipes then Schmidt penalised after he drew a penalty - not given - Bohmbach misses a chance - not our night so far

[Mark Mac]

We aren't doing brilliantly but this ref is awful. It's like a pick n mix on penalties. Schmidt gets a penalty for shoving a blaze player over when moments before that player did the same to him and right in front of the ref. I try not to slag off refs for being crap as it is very easy to watch with panthers-tinted specs but WTF!

[cooperphil156]

Hit on Dimmen - off he goes! Then there were 4 _ Now Cam penalised

[Mark Mac]

Now Waugh on high sticking, which is an astonishing call.

[iginla]

Three games running the ref calls hardly anything and let's the games flow....And now we get Pering calling everything,then nothing,then ridiculous nothing's.

Is it any wonder players and coaches get frustrated with EIHL refs !

I'm almost feeling sorry for the @panthersihc with some of these penalties against them. Almost.

[pigginhellsbells]

Has Mr Thompson bought the ref ? ? Shocking calls

[The Flying Shirt]

Still think the refereeing is as good as it's always been?

Just in case the Panthers wonder what the Blaze are doing its called "defending". Continually giving the puck away and then dump and chase won't work even if Mr Blobby was reffing.

Today is yet another example of crap reffing. The inconsistency drives me crazy. Refs should either let lots go or call everything, but they can't pick and choose what to call. The league needs to improve officiating as it is detracting from many games.

[iginla]

The reffing tonight has been terrible,closely followed by Panthers performance for two periods so far !

[cooperphil156]

Kolnik- really good move - now COME ON

[iginla]

That Kolnik goal was a carbon copy of Boxing Day,except in Sheffield Kolnik broke his stick.
