What's up with Dickson?
Very important game for us tonight, we need 2 points to remain in a sustainable position to make a push for the title. The points for Belfast aren't as important, they're pretty much out of the running, unless the top 3 have a monumental collapse. Hopefully the lads are on a high after the Challenge Cup games and bring a big morale boost into the game. An early goal or two would be perfect, take Murphy off his game though he's not as good as he used to be, but still a game winner on good night.
Looking forward to the game, glad to have a day off tomorrow before heading up to Braehead.

And whilst we're on it, am I the only one who hates it when we call them the squeelers? No I concur. It's pretty pathetic.

I've been called out by a couple of members of this forum for saying we were still in the league title race, the same members who said we wouldn't beat clan in the QF of the CC. To think I'm watching my first season of the Panthers and these members who said I must be smoking something to think we had a chance are apparently on their 15th, 20th season, etc, experienced and clearly depressive negative people! You're full of it Titch. You seem to think you're some kind of uber fan. We've all been where you are now at some point in the past. You seem to be conveniently forgetting that YOU recently said, and I quote, "League over, even I can admit that now, gutted!" Memory loss is sure sign of substance abuse. I forget who told me that.

Probably the same person distributing the substances.

1-0 up, Janssen and Keefe with a fight in the second but we've lost Myers after he went off hurt in the 1st so now missing our best face off taker and mixing lines again..

Normal service resumed. We have some decent players but they have no cohesion or direction. Thanks for the memories Corey, but you stayed 2 seasons too long. I hope you can bow out with a cup win, but then take Moran and black with you.
Big changes needed if we are serious about winning every game. Sadly I don't think they are bothered unless profits fall.

Solid first period but then we lose Myers and the lines are thrown into disarray and we have no clue what's going on! And as for Lacho the guy is 100% dog poo!!! Bench him for god sake Corey!!! When we have settled line we can play consistently well. I don't know what to say about that final period. I'm not accepting fatigue. If we weren't playing we'd be training. A team this far into the season should be able to play through a fixture jam like this. Their pro athletes they're fit enough to do this! Bring into question the whole back team and what they're doing with the players to keep them ready to go!! Big changes needed in the summer! Starting with Corey and Lacho following him to start PLEEEAASSE!!!

100% correct! NHL line ups are consistent and they work!! Mixing lines doesn't work! Anyone is an idiot who thinks it works!!

So justify to me why anybody would change 4 lines when losing 1 player. McMillan has played centre and was on Myers line. Simply add Ollie to it or go to 3 lines. Everybody has been happy with the recent lines. The lines we started with tonight. We looked good. Matt goes out, we don't look like scoring the rest of the night. Sorry but regardless of where we are in the league and CC Corey is doing a poor job. If we had a decent coach,with this group of players we would have walked the league.

Macmillan was on the Myers line, switch Macmillan to centre and play Ollie in MacMillan's place. Leave the other 3 lines the same. His time has come now. Please go.

Great for 1st period, should have scored more than one..... Then nothing, absolutely nothing. Myers' injury hurt us for some reason, Corey went cushion shuffling. Thought the fight helped them more then us.
Mikka kept us up in the second & then the mistakes & goals came. Very very poor overall.
This was why anyone (Titch) saying we were still in the title race was missing pencils from their case. We've been out of it since late December as I've said since err.. late December.

To add. Can't fault the players effort. Thought we tried hard. No better example than Lawerence. Worked his nuts off. Changing lines & maybe...maybe tiredness caught up with us.

Thommo excuses, Bagheera? Agree that Lawrence was real good, should have been MofM. How bad was Staniforth as ref by the way? Missed some blatant calls for both teams yet spots a minor equipment call on McDonald. Ridiculous.

Well that was disappointing
We got worse and worse and looked dead on our feet at the start of the 3rd,they has nothing left to respond with no matter how much they tried.

Not the reason we lost but he was pathetic. I would take him as coach next season though.

The reality is we did look spent at the end. Staniforth should stick to being a linesman. Not why we lost but we were well and truely finished when he didn't call the blantent trip & they went down the other end and scored the 4th.

I've gone one step too far. Maybe Thommo

Am I missing something here or did we not list Betteridge in the squad? If he was in the squad rather than completely misled get the lines up sending our alattack into disarray, put Logan centre in place of Myers and Ollie in the wing
Also after battering them all over the ice in the first with quick paced attacking why do we then revert to the useless method of keeping the puck behind our own net, in our own zone, inviting pressure until ultimately someone makes a mistake, as we saw tonight, and the they capitalise?!
What are the coaches thinking? Absolutely bewilders me!!!!

I think team meant silly & typical of Neilson. Was bizarre. MacMillan to centre, Betteridge to the wing, writes itself. But no, not with him. I thought we looked lethargic throughout. Belfast were rubbish in the first but gradually got a bit better, I didn't think they needed to be great though, or even close. We just got worse and worse. Guess it means next week's Big Game® just got even bigger.
