Anyone have the actual game stats, assists, Pims? I understand that after two periods we switched goalies but at what time did Green come off?

Quite amusing to see Green coming out for the 3rd, but Clan waiting to take the lead before putting in Russell. I didn't realise they took this cup seriously.

Can anyone who's at the game let me know who from our roster isn't playing, and any additions please? Lacho!!! Perhaps we can send him to Peterborough and keep Levers. I thought he had a good game tonight

The new comers all has good games tonight, very impressed, Brown reminds me of Myers as people have mentioned, but he's an improvement on him, brilliant hands. I'm tipping Sertich to be a hit as well. Larry could do with a detox I think, looked a bit off at times tonight but plenty of time to get it sorted.

The only thin that irritated me tonight was pulling Miika out of the net in the third. Surely 60 minutes on home ice is what he needs right now since he'll play half his games there. Give Green some minutes on Wednesday at Coventry if needs be. Moan over!

Sounds like Sertich got hit on the arm according to the website,doesn't say much more than that though!
Cant really read much into tonight's game expect it was more physical than I expected for a friendly.
I cannot believe how many Clan fans came down for a pre season game,the way they were celebrating I think they thought it was a league game!
Classic comment of the night from someone in front of me 'typical, same old Panthers,load of rubbish'....i mean come on its the first pre season game with 6 players missing,are they serious!?

I left with two minutes to go due to my 4 year old being exhausted, but I heard moans & groans of a similar nature on the way out. I thought it was an enjoyable game considering it was a preseason game. Disappointed Miika was replaced but I guess it's nothing more than a competitive training exercise. Hope Sertich isn't hurt as I thought he looked a real player. Enjoyable night in all.

I was relatively pleased with the game overall, well, our performance. We lost but there were plenty of positives to take from it. All newbies looked either decent or good, all stood out more than any returnee. Lee was a bit of a plug as usual, whilst the rest didn't particularly do anything good or bad. Wiikman looked solid, Green had a rough time but he'll get over it and tighten up.
GM on the mic was ear breaking, hopefully he's forcibly removed to the box next game.

So then, would you guys take Levers back on yesterday's showing?

So the club knew they were going to be short even at the same time they were telling their walking wallets they weren't... and people wonder why the club get tarred "typical panthers"...

I really don't get why people even worry about a backup netminder and in particular Green, over the past few seasons he has proved time and again why he is a backup and will never be anything more, we don't owe him anything least of all ice time. Don't mean to pick on you Pantherb but as a backup keeper he is there purely for emergencies ONLY, if it was up to me he wouldn't see a minute of ice time all season (and if he does the season is most likely written off as there would be a serious injury to Miko)... Bringing him or any backup on should be only when the game is so far out of reach to be untouchable and that wasn't many, if any, games last season and with the lack of scoring punch this I suspect more of the same..

A lot of fair points! But he does have to have a proportion of icetime if he's going to be the backup, we know Miika doesn't have the most sustainable legs and the odd final 5 minutes or so isn't too bad to stick Green in, though only if we're comfortably ahead. Last night he was poor, but he's done enough stuff in the past to warrant remaining as backup and i'm sure over the season he'll take us to a win or two as well. I'd imagine he'll play one or two more seasons as backup and then retire, do some goaltending coaching perhaps. It's just difficult to find a young backup who is capable of not always being a sieve but who doesn't mind playing a max of 5 games a year, a lot will want to play and it'll hamper their development if they don't get regular icetime. Green is though, as you say, very much an emergency option. So i do somewhat agree with you! I won't take it as being picked on either, you've made plenty of fair and good points!

So then, would you guys take Levers back on yesterday's showing? 100% he's tenacious and battles for every inch of ice! Drew a few penalties from his willingness to compete. I never understood why we let him go. I'd personally have him as a solid spot on the roster over Lacho and Ollie and let those two battle for the 12th spot / split shifts. I'm sure once the rest of the boys are in plus John Scott to make sure no funny business goes on we'll see this team play some pretty tasty hockey.

You see this is where I have issue.. As proved over the past few seasons its not the wins that are in issue its the losses. Those, that IF we had had an import netminder in or even a more skilled brit may have more than likely been wins and those wins would have lead to a more sustained league challenge. Now I don't blame Green or any backup netminder (unless of course we had someone like murphy for example) for those losses, I guess its not surprise I blame the management, and the reason that I blame them was not having a suitable replacement in soon enough to stem the point loss to the point it haemorrhaged the patient and the season was lost... As I said, if it was up to me I would have several import netminders on speed dial and the backup wouldn't get any ice time all season...

Green used to be the best backup in the league but now he isn't even the best backup in block 5. You have Mr shouty hype on the mic telling everyone about the glorious Aladin Cup at full volume constantly then CN puts Green in and it was obviously game over. First home game for several players last night even though it was a part time pre season warm up I would have though the confidence of a win would have been more important than Dan waving his glove about helplessly in the net for twenty minutes.

With us playing Coventry on Wednesday and no news of a tough guy signing I hope Garret Klotz doesn't take it upon himself to just goon about. Got a bad feeling he'll play a very physical game and we've got nothing to answer back with.

That's my worry glotz is going to try and make a statement. To the guys wanting a sniper and a tough guy what would be your answer to players like Rosehall glotz and Fitzgerald? Not a dig genuinely asking

Probably less injuries than if they, well the likes of Lachowicz, Carter, Moran, Sertich etc.. are left to fight, non of them would happy throw the gloves down so they could either go toe to toe and potentially get the Marsh treatment, or they can turtle and the aggressor can keep punching the helmet and damage their hand, whilst being thrown from the game. It'll be near the end of September, early October before the enforcer is likely to arrive but that's assuming they're signed before the end of August.
