I can't comment on the game as I wasn't there. By the sounds of it they weren't either, the slot was clogged all game they rarely ever got an in step from the walls and even then we had bodies in front. They're over exaggerating. It was plain boring trap hockey, not a domination to that extreme.

Yeah Cardiff were the better team but we played the game exactly as we needed to, in open free flowing play we would have been killed. We play defensively and conservatively and got the rewards. Clogged the middle and tried to take away the slot. Quite a lot of their shots had to be from range and then them following them in because they struggled to punch through. Corey got his tactics spot on. We frustrated the hell out of them. If we didn't play like that their attacking line would have many more opportunities and a lot more clear cut chances. Very good defensive display particularly the 5 on 3 powerplay. That was without schultz and big Ern. With a full squad we have a more attacking edge, hopefully we will see this on Saturday.

Getting a proper buzz of excitement for this game.
Full house.
Big Ern's debut.
Hopefully we'll be at full strength and it will be a real fast paced all action type of game.

Here's a question. Having listened to the radio interview with McGrattan he's here to play his normal game. Will he want to put a marker down on Saturday or ease himself in and just fight if called upon?

I think he'll want to fight, and fight when it's right for the Panthers, the question is will Thompson want Fitzgerald to take the challenge, say it's a one goal lead to the Steelers I'm sure he will be told not to accept. I hope it does happen though, I think it's going to be a cracking game this one! It never gets old for me this rivalry!

It'll be PR gold if he does, and wins, along with a win on the scoreboard. I kinda hope he does, but in reasonable circumstances. There's far too many people expecting him to throw the gloves down a second into the game and for a bench clearance to errupt.
Contribute on the forecheck, throw some hits, screen Mustokovs, and make Steelers aware of his presence. He is a good player ontop of being a renowned tough guy, he might even do as well points wise as Sestito did with Steelers.
Can't wait anyway, the roof is going to blast off when he comes out.

I reckon we should have a sweepstake on whether the reception will be louder than Cams or not...

I have a feeling it's going to be louder than cams first reception. Just because of how fans now see cam, they are expecting him to play the same. So in a way a lot of the fans now know what a player like this can do for the team and the fans. It's going to be loud .... And I can't wait.

McGrattan's reception will be the loudest ever, hopefully The Panther's will catch it and upload it to the website. On the game, I never rated Mustakovs, so hopefully we can get to him early then great things should happen.
I just hope that The Panthers are able to clear the puck out of our zone when required. It was so annoying seeing Cardiff being able time after time to keep it in. Just blast the puck.

Pumped for this! McGrattan will want to make a mark and set a tone so can see him maybe fighting Fitzgerald or Desbiens if either decide to go with him but expecting to see some big hits and him creating plenty of space for our guys like Nikiforuk to do their thing. I think which nettie will start will be a big factor in us taking the W here but I think it may be close, as long as we don't get forced into playing the trap for nearly the whole game and we've improved in the neutral and opposition zone. Also hope we don't risk Lee or Schultzy in a CC game for them to miss league games as much as we need Schultzy he shouldn't play unless he's fit.

Mcgratten will be looking to have an impact, with the noise going to come from the crowd it's going to be an amazing game. We need a mcgratten song!

1-1 end of the first. Still look sluggish but better than last week and we're playing with a bit more of an offensive threat.

Sheffields 2nd was the biggest fluke of a goal I've ever seen...

Sheffields 2nd was the biggest fluke of a goal I've ever seen... Just bounced off the wrong side of Sertich's stick.. Roy's goal on the other hand was an awful defensive lapse..
