I was watching the young lions game yesterday and core was stood a few feet away, I overheard him telling a couple of people how rough he was after Friday night, if that's the example he sets to the players then it's going to be a long season Who's core? Did you mean Corey? If so, it might be worth noting he doesn't touch alcohol.

I reckon we need to accept the fact that unless big changes are made, Nottingham Panthers is no longer an A-class team like before. That was in the past. What this team has is a good PR team who is good in their job. Unfortunately, some fans are getting too bored with the same messages. We MIGHT win the Challenge Cup again this year. But then again, I guess it's easier to focus on a 'tournament' with only 4 other teams to play against, instead of 9.

Yes corey, even if he doesn't it still doesn't set a good example staying out til the early hours does it, this is supposed to be professional sports

Well the one thing that looked to be our strong point, the defence, has gone to pot pretty much, 18 shots on Wiikman tonight 4 goals, I'm pulling my hair out!

Bloomin royal family. If Prince Harry 's Nottingham visit hadn't interfered with the practice the Panthers would have had a 4 point weekend.

But then again, I guess it's easier to focus on a 'tournament' with only 4 other teams to play against, instead of 9. Panthers have never really been an A class team. Even with winning the cups over the last few years they have never really been a top class team in this league. They have always had all the potential to be the best team in the UK every year but they do not have the guidance to get them there. You just have to look at home many times have we truly challenged for the league since moving to the NIC 16 seasons ago? apart from winning it once we have probably only really challenged one other time. Panthers PR and marketing is not any good either in fact its probably one of the worse in the league considering the resources available. Just basic things like the website being terrible for example. Nottingham is as much of a hockey town as you will get in the UK, the fact that they do not sell at more games in this market is poor. Everything from top to bottom at panthers is amateurish. You just have to look at Steelers they were a laughing stock just a few short years ago but they have turned it round and now and probably the best organisation in the league, closely followed my cardiff who again only a short few years ago were a shambles. Shows what getting the right people in the right jobs does and investing properly in the team. not by buying a cheap Chinese bear that looks as happy and the majority of the fan base right now.

Same old spin about outshooting the opposition. It's not quantity, it's quality that counts, and if most of ours shots are straight at the NM then we ain't going to score. Simples.
Oh, and whilst I'm at it, can't we even put an article on the website without a spelling mistake? Amateur doesn't even begin to describe it.

There's no excuse for looking amateurish "in public". There must be someone at the Panthers who has the kind of basic O level comprehension of written English and the "attention to detail" skills that mean we can put out a press release without it looking like a chimpanzee wrote it with a few of his mates in the stock room of a disused typewriter factory. You've left out the quality merchandise. A £3 T shirt with a 50p iron on print on it? £20 to you, Sir. Someone needs telling that it's no use making a theoretical £16.50 profit on each T shirt if you don't actually sell any.

Yes corey, even if he doesn't it still doesn't set a good example staying out til the early hours does it, this is supposed to be professional sports Sorry but some of your information is slightly misguiding, you make is sound like they were all on the lash the night before a game and whilst not the best pre match preparation they were representing the club at the Nottingham Post Sports Awards dinner in which they won 2 awards. If you look hard enough at the photos & social media I dont think you could say any of them were worse for wear. As for Corey not drinking alcohol I think you meant when he was a player?
