That was the team we signed. Great performance and good scoring depth again tonight.
Bring on the Steelers!

Real game of three periods that. Ice was tilted all night, a bit like Murphy's mind I imagine. He's a real poor keeper at times, the 3rd was particularly amusing. Stevie Lee had a shocking couple of moments as well but was better in the 3rd.
Perring was the best I've seen him all season, still missed some obvious hooking calls & Clarke's call looked a mystery but I think he was pretty decent apart from those few.
Great to see Lacho find some form, lovely third from him. Maradona looked good again, a smaller nettie that we're used to but he's obviously a lot faster around his crease as a result.
Final word to Corey, he kept the lines together all game which is miraculous & terrific to see.
Happy tonight, well done Panthers.

I'll go against the grain, I thought both sides were quite poor technically, lots of huff and puff with a lack of quality. The worst player on the ice was, fortunately, Rebound who apparently can't catch any more either. Dreadful 2 goals conceded on our end too, couple of strikes of the ironwork from them too.
Glad the much maligned Lacho found a finish at last, but I think we'll need to be much better than that tomorrow.

I thought Clarke would get called for elbows, nothing more. Seemed a strange call. Turned out fine though thanks to a peach of a shorty from Lachowicz. I elbowed Logan Jnr in the head when that went in and she much less of it than Lloyd did.
CN stuck with his lines tonight! Good man!
Murphy had an odd game. Made some very good saves, especially blocker side and pads. His glove side is shocking though. As for the guy at the other end, Madolora had a great game with some top saves. Must've been close to MOM.
Nice hat trick of assists for Schmidt who was solid tonight. Evan Mosey! I swear the guy gets quicker!
Very good win and generally a much better performance. A 4 point weekend would be superb. Please.....

Apparently Schmidt only ended up with 2. 1 of the assists was changed for 1 of the goals. Him or Madolora MoM for me.
Kind of get where Yotes is coming from. Id take a slightly different stance however. Sometimes 2 good teams shut each other down well and do the defensive side better. Made for a scrappy game at times but not because either team were particularly bad.

The 1st period was complete domination. The 2nd was utter doss. The 3rd was sloppy.
Happy with the two points but if we play like that in Sheffield then we're going to get gutted. Lloyds broadway esq performance got us geared up. Hopefully this gives the boys some confidence and a jump in their step win is Sheffield and it's game on.

We're actually playing pretty well. This is kinda weird. Not really! Theres no denying we are a good side who are lacking confidence and constantly make bad decisions in our zone. Things what are correctable.

Great to win in regulation, talk about a tale of 3 periods as Panthers won periods 1&3 while the Giants won period 2, Great to see Lacho smiling as he hi-fived the bench (The Giants seemed to give up breakaways while on the PP)
Speaking of PP's, Change up what we do on them as I'm sure the opposition knows what's coming and also can't they screen the Goalie as well.
Madalora made some great saves, which kept us in it. Could there be a Goaltender controversy coming up?
Loved the call on Schultz for holding the stick as that stick was penalised for bring too high. Go figure.

Great win tonight, really fast open game which I enjoyed greatly!
Total contrast to the recent slow games we've seen so well done Panthers and for some of the more maligned players to make the difference tonight, Schmidt and Myers stood out for me.
I think we were good for large parts which can only be a good sign going into tomorrows game.

In the main exactly what the tin said before the match. 2 Out of form teams combine for a game decided by who made the fewest errors. All three Panthers goals were poor, Murphy at fault for allowing poor angled shots through no traffic in along with a bad break down on the Powerplay to allow Lacho's winner. The Belfast goals, dreadful defensively for the first and the second a bad giveaway in our own end again. A half decent in form Steelers will be licking their lips looking at that.
Only real positive for me was seeing us finally trying something new on the powerplay, for the first time in weeks we had players dropping down below the goal line to get the D and Murphy turing around. With some more practice we might just be on to something.

Yep good win that,win tomorrow and there is still a chance. Agree with you Cjmatt,the powerplay looked very different and instead of the blue line big shot there was a lot more looking for the back post guy.
Ridiculous call on Clarkey,that was never a check to the head.

Get rid of Lacho!!!! Only a homegrown Notts talent and does nothing, not worth keeping lol Different player tonight, best in ages & nice to see. Madnora was mom for me but felt Lacho got it ahead of him for simply playing as well as we know he can, but less consistently of late. Good to have the old Lacho back & hope it continues as he is a key player for us when in top form.

Great win, Belfast are poor this season compared to previous years. Just think where we could be? We should be top of this league, I only really rate Cardiff and Sheffield, breahead have a shot because of the easy conference.

Played very well last night, Madalora was MOTM for sure, made some outstanding saves and kept us from going 3-1 behind. I understand why they picked Lacho though, he looked confident and scored an outstanding shorthanded goal and it will do him the world of confidence to stand in the winners circle. I think the boys are 100% confident with Madalora in the net as we seem a totally different team when we have Miika or Shane in there. Can't wait to go to Sheffield tonight, I'm going for a win tonight. Yes, Sheffield are rested but that isn't always the best preparation for a game, sometimes the team who have played the night before are already in the state of mind to play hockey versus the team who have been resting for a few days!

Good game think we deserved the 2 points but stop giving the puck away too many times and it's costing us goals every game

A special mention for Farmer from me as I thought he had a good game and could have racked up 3 goals if not for some good saves by Murphy. Schmidt too was superb.

Really enjoyed the energy we got from the Janssen MacMillan Farmer line last night, lots of hits and body contact and forcing the Giants to play causing plenty of turnovers. Hopefully Lacho can push on from last night for his own sake. D played solid most of the night and the nettie was top again! Could have be a lot more the 4-2. Really supposed that Belfast continue to stick with Rebound Murphy!

I've never understood Belfast's continued signing of Murphy. He's makes so many basic errors & is easily rattled. Rebounds everywhere as well.
Always thought Lyle was the better GB keeper a few years ago & Bowns is definitely better now.

Murphy did make some very good saves too though Jordan.
Panthers played very well first and third periods,but not taking a whole host of glorious early chances yet again is a worry. Without the two sloppy goals Murphy let in we would have been struggling to beat Belfast.
Last night we could easily and probably should have been four or five goals up at the end of the first period,yet ended up going behind. Against Fife it was the same,but we went behind again. And against Cardiff we had six or seven gilt edged chances in the first 30 minutes and went behind again.
Someday soon we are no doubt going to hammer somebody in the first period,but it's very strange that we keep missing chances time and again with the firepower we have up front.

Can someone clarify this one, Clark is in the p/box for checking to the head/misconduct 12.29 3rd period, he's in the box have a tantrum about the call then Farmer joins Clark in the box, no penalty call on game sheet on the EIHL site and not a word on the live twitter on NPhockey live, I know they do a 1for1 that doesn't show on the clock but thought the all penalties appeared on the game sheet? ?? Clark = 2 + 10 Farmer in for the 2

It's Farmer penalty I was querying not the Clark 2+10 He was in the box to come out after Clarks 2

It's Farmer penalty I was querying not the Clark 2+10 Farmer didn't get a penalty.That's why NPHL didn't tweet it and also why it wouldn't be on the game sheet. He was merely sitting David Clarke's 2 minute minor penalty. Because Clarke was assessed a 2+10 penalty he wouldn't be allowed to return to the ice after the initial 2 minutes expire because he still has to sit the 10 minute misconduct. Because of this Panthers have to put someone else in the box to sit Clarke's 2 minute minor penalty, and Farmer was the choice.
