All the excuses have been posted on Twitter and the OS over the last couple of days. You know when they keep repeating about the lack of training this week that they are covering themselves for the loss.

You know when they keep repeating about the lack of training this week that they are covering themselves for the loss. Maybe the fact that certain players go to a certain pub after training and other times and are given free drinks and some players are still in there well after curfew is supposed to start the night before a match may or may not also play a part. This hasnt by all accounts gone down well with a certain recovering alcoholic....

Certainly the D and Wiikman haven't covered themselves in glory tonight but how long will our non scoring forwards be given? I know scoring goals isn't the be all and end all but we have a serious deficiency in this department and it is starting to bite. If what sevcik says is true then why? This kind of behaviour seems to haunt the Panthers and the club need to come down hard on it once and for all.

Taxi for Carter.
Actually forget the taxi. I'll drive him to the airport. FOC

Start with the positives, Caps were great. Well drilled and well delivered game plan. 4 goals that left Wiikman with no chance.
Onto the negatives. Nottingham Panthers in a whole. The rot has begun and things need to change.
Matt Carter should have a P45 in his kitbag going home tonight. Even if he's given to him on a plate, he can't convert... Tonight he had at least 4 clear cut chances. He is not of an Elite League standard.
Jeff Brown or Logan MacMillan, pick one and gas the other. Too similar and do not posses any stick-handling/creative skills. Without Lawrence or Schultz, guys like JB or LMac aren't good enough.
To think Nikiforuk was the replacement for Kolnik shows you exactly where this team has gone wrong. Him & Moran are just bland and weak. Moran is no captain, end of.
Mainly however, Corey Neilson. The same old one-dimensional plays and 'systems' that haven't worked for years are just dragged out yet again. His plan B (if you can call it that) was to start pulling the keeper with 10mins left! Truly embarrassing and devoid of ideas.
Corey has a quality NHL enforcer sat on his bench, starting to get under the skin of the opposition & decides to sit him out for most the 3rd period... Same as he did for Cam. No idea how to utilise the talent he has.

Brown tried to get things going so did kalus and mcgratten. So pleased with them lindhagen and farmer did well. Some flashes of good play buried in the swill that was the rest of the game. Still no schultz who hasn't played many games this season and lawro who was on fire still out.

Lindhagen is head and shoulders our best player at the moment and it looks like we have lost him for a while now too.

Well that was fun!
The team looked drunk for the first period,same as against Giants sloppy passing,hardly anything tape to tape and seemingly,a lack of ideas!
Felt sorry for Mikka getting pulled he couldn't do much about any of the goals as he had no cover,the 4th goal was a beauty though.
Mcgratten chirping the whole Caps bench and Kalus dropping the gloves were the only entertainment all evening!
Considering how bad we were i thought the crowd stuck with them all evening which was nice to see.
Inflatable Panther...erm

Same as he did for Cam. No idea how to utilise the talent he has. Brown EVERY time over MacMillan and Nikiforuk isn't in the same class let alone league as Kolnik It really doesn't pay for a team to think that they will "manage" a team like the Clan before the puck drops as they had their trousers pulled well and truly down tonight for the first two periods and then going into panic mode just made it worse. The Clan are a team drilled to play to their strengths and I thought they were very good tonight.

Hopefully have Lee and Lawrence back for this. After watching the guy walk round Lee for the 4th goal I retract that statement

I don't think anyone comes out of that with any excuses.

Great when they are set up and in place but too easly caught too far up the ice and way too slow getting back.

Genuine questions:-
Who is/are our playmaker(s)? The Fox/Ling/Galbraith of the team?
Who is/are our sniper(s)? The DAB/Mcaslan of the team?
Exactly what do our new import forwards bring to the team?

Main playmakers should be Moran, Nikiforuk, Schultz and perhaps Lawrence. All 4 are currently missing. Snipers should be Clarke, Carter, Kalus, Schultz and Lawrence. Pretty embarrassing when you mention names like DAB or McAslan as previous snipers.

All I got was 'to early to gas players' Please let me know when the time is right to gas these jokers Brown isn't a passenger IMO, not contributed too much offensively but is one player who I haven't seen slack. Carter however needs to be gone, have said for a couple weeks now that he can't finish any chances even when put on a plate for him, looks slow and soft.

All I got was 'to early to gas players' Please let me know when the time is right to gas these jokers I would give several players the job of blowing up the new inflatable before I gassed Brown. Just to qualify that, buckets of drive and enthusiasm, hits like a train plus he's a good agitator and doesn't back down from anyone. A real team player.

Goals? Assists? Physicality? Grit? Toughness? Energy? None of these.

I said exactly that before the season even started Ted and three quarters of the forum tried to shoot me down. Especially Carter,he is no goal scorer and neither is Nikiforuk anywhere near a replacement for Kolnik either. Carter should have had a hat trick tonight,three back door chances on a plate.....and he missed the lot ! The D is built wrong,they all spend far too much time the wrong side of the red line,nobody stays at home. Macmillan and Brown do the same job. Lacho does nothing....as usual. This team as it stands has no chance of winning the league !!!

Apart from one excellent hit in defence tonight to steal the puck Lacho is totally anonymous and to me Carter doesn't just look out of his depth he looks unhappy and unsettled too.

Certainly there's been no import with so little to his game in the past 10 years.

Pretty embarrassing when you mention names like DAB or McAslan as previous snipers. We are missing Lawrence and Schultz. Moran (who I'm normally a fan of) has been below par so far this season. Carter is a waste of space. Kalus is doing OK. Nikiforuk only occasionally shows flashes of skill or speed. Of the new import forwards, none of them are exactly floating my boat. The clock must be ticking on some.
