Well they are certainly rolling out the big guns on Panthers tv and Panthers radio (with Xynomix !) to try to drum up some interest. Revenge and fireworks are on the cards apparently.
Hope it works,because Belfast games are usually full of hype....then turn out to be dull as dishwater !!!

The last game was very dull It was worse than that!! Yes, it was terrible (from both sides). Disagree with Iggy here though, I think our games with them are normally good viewing. I could live without the "fireworks on the ice" guff, but that's just textbook Gary.

Crikey,this is getting exciting eh. Lol

Geoff Waugh now missing too.
Fear another drab defeat but obviously hope I'm wrong on both counts.

On recent form, I can't see us winning this one sad coming from a proud Panthers fan but its the same old systems and style. start well, get injuries and stuff and lose key players then always playing catch up. for us with to win we need a a serious kick up the backside.
Does anyone know the condition of Lawerence and Schultz?

Belfast are rubbish too though. I think this is where we'll stop the rot personally.
Well, delay the rot. For a bit.

We will play against a team we struggled to score against. We still have no lawrence schultz and waugh. We has now lost against Belfast braehead capitals and storm so we are on a terrible run of form. Going to try and be positive and say a win for panthers. Against all forms of logic I'm aware! I don't want to go a game expecting a loss it would sort of spoil it. Hoping the boys prove themselves, we have some great players in the team and some that need to pick up their game.

Anybody up for a Cardiff 2 0 type performance now? Thought we played a great defensive game that night. Played to our strengths. For me thats been the problem more recently. We have tried to play typical Corey attacking hockey without the tools to do it. The D itself isn't weak we are just getting caught to high too often. Play to our defensive strengths, stop trying too hard to pressure the goal and shut them down.

If we can get a win here today, hopefully we can get a bit of confidence back in the team. Wiikman needs a big game today because he really hasn't been at his best. He's let a few soft ones in and then we have to chase games which doesn't suit our style. In no way am I lying all the blame on him but he needs to up his game along with some of the D to make sure we're not chasing today. We seem to be conceding in quick succession.

The lack of firepower in this year's roster was already looking very low before we lost SS and CL. We just can't afford to go behind in games. In previous years if we went a couple behind early you weren't overly concerned as you knew we were capable of rattling in 4,5,6 on a fairly regular basis.

Do you think he'll stick with Wiikman tonight? He's a great goalie but we are getting to the point now where we need to try something different. If you're going to carry two import Goalies then take full advantage. No question he is number 1 but I feel tonight might be time for a change.

Stick with miika have the crowd behind him cheering him on. Drop him completely we risk screwing his confidence even more. Yeah he has let a few soft ones recently but not all have been him. Keep the faith

I think he'll stick with Miika but wouldn't be at all surprised to see Pacl . Miika I thought let some very soft goals in last night the first three just dribbled in while he was out of position or on his backside. We didn't play a bad game we just haven't got the finisher. I'm going for a win today 4-2.

Exactly - we relied on sexy Neilson hockey before but now we're trying to play Defence but when that fails, we don't have the forwards to change that. We've got to just play simple hockey and hit on the counter.

When he has a great game we win,when he's slightly off we lose. I don't think Corey has the slightest idea what it takes to build a team. Yet he got lucky and did it once. How hard is it to understand that you need good goaltending,good d and some attacking potency too. Yet we always seem to have one or the other. Jesus,it's not bloody hard to understand !

Cannot win a face off and some bizarre coaching decisions going on.
Looks like they are all trying their best to me to be fair.
