]A major flaw with this year against the league winning year happened right at the start. The league winning year CN made the brave move of cutting Danny who was by then past his best and that freed up finances but this year went completely the other way and loaded up with Brits and tied his own hands behind his back from day one. It was Neil Black who announced (at last years Play-offs I believe) that we (and Clan) would be going with 9 Brits this year ... way before CN was re-signed. So, if you like, NB tied CNs hands to a large degree in this respect.[/quote] Yes I agree and that's why his hands were tied. If we had signed 9 Brits with the league winning team then that would have been HUGE depth (unaffordable of course) but signing 9 straight out this year right at the start killed the depth as it took a huge amount of the budget. As far as the much over used term "import quality Brits" I think this year we possibly have three with current form and if we had just signed those three or possibly four we would have been able to have had a LOT of depth.

Neil also said we'd have 13 imports to go with them, so I'm not sure that saying we needed 9 Brits has tied CN's hands. He didn't specify which Brits.
I think signing Cam instead of Erick Lizon probably cost us an import on the budget front.

Yep, true, I'd forgotten about him not showing up.

I hope he's had his eyes tested since the game away in Coventry on the 29th December , don't think we've had the 'pleasure' of his officiating since then.

Nice one 1-0. We'll done Panthers. ps: Why do people come to match, only to talk throughout the period, & when the whistle blow they asks 'it's not half time, is it?'

We're actually playing pretty well. This is kinda weird.

1-1 Awful goal to concede
Belfast shoot the puck from their zone, hits the back boards, bounces Infront and Belfast put it in the net.
Slow d from panthers

2-1 Belfast. We seem to have been caught off-guard in the 2nd period.

Can't believe it was the same team playing in the 2nd period. Talk about being all over the place. And what is with our powerplays?? They never come to anything!!

Good game. Ref went from o.k to aweful with nothing in between.
Let me be the first to say. Well done Corey. Same lines all night. For what its worth i'd swap Ling & Clarke over but the lines were consistant.
And. Well Done Lacho. Better performance & great GWG(never man of the match but much improved).
A mention has to go to Murphy. Thanks for the first 2. ;-)
Thought Oakford was great also. Proved hes worth a slot on the team & an upgrade on Norton.
Great win, on to tomorrow and 2 more points.

Great to see Lacho score and great to watch the entire bench celebrating at the end too.

Enjoyed that.
Very good win. At 2-2 it was anybody's game. So a big thank you to Darryl Lloyd for milking it big style and geeing up our team and crowd. What a throbber.

A double miracle has happened tonight - Lacho scores and we win in regulation - didn't win the lottery or the 5050 though
