If we play to potential we can win but no, not boom or bust. Only my opinion- Braehead will win the league. If we'd signed a full roster and covered injuries we could have won the slam this year but that's all over. I've said it before but on paper this should have been a better team than our slam year but the boom or bust will not apply to the playoffs now...

Might be too expensive funding two teams in the CHL for Mr Black....and Braehead will finish in the top 2

Win this and we're right back in the league, yes, we've got the 'harder' run in towards the end of the season but because of that, we hold our own destiny in our hands. We've won the last 6 games out of 8 (Lets not mention the game at Squeelers that we got robbed of) and we've got Miika back in the team, we're technically only 2 points away from the top of the league and we have to play the Devils 3 times, clan 2 times and Steelers 2 times with 4 of those games being on home ice, I'd be happy with 5 wins against those teams and if we don't win the league, at least we'll get our self into a certain position to have an easier QF in the play-offs. Lets get the atmosphere rocking on Saturday, it was nice to see so many fans getting behind the team during the PK than being quiet and nervous like in previous weeks, we've got a netminder in Madalora that is great in 1on1 situations and I won't even mention Miika who should get his starting place back on Saturday and get the crowd pumped up from the get go after the player announcements at the start. Good seats still available folks.......

Good seats still available folks....... I'll have what he's having!! Seriously though, win this and we're not "right back in the league". It's a massive step, but lose the following game and it means nothing. The way I see it, there are 32 points left for us to get in the league, 28 points puts us 1 point ahead of Cardiff and top of the league based on current points per game, and that doesn't take into account Braehead's "easier" run of games. What that means is that Panthers can only really afford to drop 4 more points throughout the entire season, and I don't think we're consistent enough to do that.

It's called be a positive person/fan, half of our fan base should try it sometime instead of being whiny depressing boring old farts that should stick to sitting in their armchair at home depressing their life away, shame that accounts for most people on this forum! We're technically two points away from both Steelers & Cardiff and Braehead's wheels are starting to fall off, there is no reason why we can't take control of the league in the next few games. We seem to have picked up the form before the horrible christmas period. You'll see.

Ignoring your whole first paragraph which seems to consist mainly of insulting those with an alternate view, we're not technically two points away from Steelers and Cardiff. Games in hand are only worth 2 points if you win them so we're potentially we're within 2 points but by the same logic we are 5 points behind Braehead. As for Braehead's Wheels coming off, they've lost 2 cup games to us, but they have won the last SEVEN in the league. I wish our wheels would come off more often.!

Two things..... Seems I picked a good game to miss & the lack of posting in this thread says much about this team & club right now.
Shame Cardiff aren't going to win the league barring a massive Braehead collapse. Very good team are the Devils & very well run.

Bowns stood on his head though.

Not a bad game. Bowns was superb. Devils defence was very impressive. Defences win championships (CN did you know this?) and that one should win it. If the ludicrous conference set up means Clan win it ahead of Devils, it will be a travesty.
We were OK, decent effort and huff and puff but a lack of quality in the final third. Playing an import down on D is still hurting us too.
Best team on the night won, they didn't need the pathetic 2nd period of the officials to help them. Dire performance, not the reason we lost by any means.
I didn't boo tonight. We lost to the better team.

Bang on Ted. In all points.
Think officiating cost us first goal and potentialy changed the course of the game. Had we lost 1 0 I would have been laying significantly more blame at the officiating. As it stands a decent Panthers performance outdone by an outstanding Cardiff one.
The sole reason for another Dman is just to restict Steve Lees ice time. To about 30 seconds a game if possible.

Oh and the Linesman. WoW. Think they picked 2 random guys off the street at 6.55pm and gave them a quick brief on offside. If that.

Good game for 2 periods and we deserved to be at least 1-1 until the final period.
We were unlucky at times and Hogarth & Linos had a stinker, but Devils showed the difference in being a well drilled team both on attack and in defence. I've never been a heavy critic of Corey in the past and often enjoyed his teams (no matter how infuriating they were) but he now seems out of his depth... Such an amazing plethora of talent on offence and there's no ideas or plans evident.
Whether it's tactics or his coaching I don't know, but you simply can't ice talent such as Kolnik, Ling, Moran and Schultz while not once creating a decent opening or goal opportunity in 60mins.
Once proud of his record in developing British talent, we're watching the likes of Steve Lee develop the composure on the puck reminiscent of Marcus Maynard, Ollie Betteridge sat watch games pass him by & Rob Lachowicz take great strides into the offensive capacity of Jason Hewitt.

We may not be able to win the league this year (still mathematically possible) but we sure can help a little with who can win - personally I would prefer anyone but Steelers or Clan, so that leaves Devils - they played a good road game tonight, with a little help from the stripies, who wer the worst I have seen for a long time - we got what we deserved from the game - nothing

Lack of plan B pretty much ruined our night and has most of the season tbh, as for the power play I don't even think we have a plan A, with the talent in the forward ranks they look lost, but I think this also comes from an incapable defence on the power play to direct things, as well persisting to use Steve Lee who can't be relied on.
It's funny that when we beat Cardiff 7-3 in the bbt, the performance and structure of the team was directly the opposite from tonight, that night we let Cardiff have the puck behind their own net and had two forwards forechecking in deep, funnily enough we were successfull that night.
Tonight we constantly tried to carry the puck in individually from behind our own net and we were just closed down time and time again, after two periods of the same thing happening you would think that you try and change it up, try another play, but nope the same thing happened in the third all the way up until the point where the match was over, what is Corey telling them to do? So, so, so frustrating

Well that was poor,apart from Schultz,Kolnik and Schmidt the rest may as well have stayed in the dressing room. How on earth do you play for 60 minutes and apart from two goalmouth scrambles not create a single quality goal scoring chance ? Bowns didn't stand on his head tonight,he didn't have to,what shots we had were long range and pretty much straight at him. As for Panthers powerplay,well that just remains shocking,what on earth do they do all week at training.
As for Cardif,their defence is rock solid,but then we all know what several quality import D can do,it's just a pity Neilson doesn't realise it !

Must win game....we didn't win.
No idea how we didn't create anything of note all night with all that offensive talent!
Most shots were from the blue line,Bowns was not really tested to be honest!
Devils defended well and we couldn't break through!
Frustrating horrible evening

General question did the correct netminder start in nets?
