The reality is, there's probably no point changing anything this season now. We more or less have to win out from here to stand a chance - which no team has ever done from mid-November, and probably never will.
Just write the season off.

that clearly isnt fair on the paying public especially those with season tickets. What needs to happen is make BOLD changes NOW. It isnt like the season is going to get any worse and who knows it might make a difference. One thing is sure doing nothing will result in more of the same and i dont think any panthers fans want that.

No point going to games then. This lot don't deserve the loyalty they get. A loss of revenue might make people sit up and take notice.

You can't realistically make major changes to the playing staff, so the obvious change is the coaching staff. Neilson and Strachan out, someone with new ideas, a new (and hopefully much less boring) way of playing, in. There might be a team in there, if coached better.
We'll never do it though. Someone like Carter will get canned and we'll bring in some dude who played in the NHL 15 years ago and everyone thought had retired.

Shouldn't be difficult. The Belfast home game was the first time I've ever wanted to skip a home game.

Of course you can, there is actually nothing in the rules to stop you, just that the club would take a financial hit which we all know they wont want to do.

Depends what we're talking about Tex, are we really likely to find 5 (? more?) players at this stage of the season at extremely short notice? Plus I want Neilson sacked

I guess Geoffrey Boycott would at least bring passion. More of a cricket guy though I think

Reward the fans that have shelled out on this shower with some entertainment. Get a few more big guys in and goon it up. At least we can have some entertainment whilst losing. Then get a few good forwards in towards the end and have a run at the palyoffs.

Tomorrow there should be individual player meetings and release and/or lay the law down (Goalies exempt).
Neil Black needs to show up and give the Coaching Staff individual meetings.
How long are our injured players out for? Get temp cover (There has to be players available that can do a job)
What's the betting that Paul Thompson has a shortlist of at least 5 players for every member of his squad in case they get injured.
I expect a very severe reaction tomorrow (Basically I want to see that some new players are signed and on their way, Sheffield and other teams can do it at short notice)
They could also contact The Capitals to see if they would like to deal (I am not joking)
Tonight was the last straw.

The first change that is needed is a set set of coaches, Corey has to go, poor recruitment has led to this, then let the new coach take stock. League is gone so need to focus on finishing in the top 8..

League is gone so need to focus on finishing in the top 8.. It's completely believable that no-one else wants to work with the GM. He's living in the 1980s and constantly trying to keep us there. Just imagine if this club, with this fan base, had someone like Kelman... I'd trade at least 3 of our players for the rest of the season (plus Moran of course) for it to happen!

There must be some reason that GM remains employed!
This was my business, he'd have been gone years ago, as I said there must be some reason he's still here, no idea what it is.

It's not for his whit or charm and if he was any at his job good the arena would be filled every game (not with give aways either) and we wouldn't have an inflatable bear with the smallest head in the world. I just put it down to Neil Black being a bit of an idiot.

Amazing how GM is keeping a low profile just lately, yet when we win a cup, he's got his crinkly old mug at the forefront of the attention.

We still have 3 trophies to play for. Also Steelers came from 10 points behind last season to win it. I dont think we will win, but to just give up now is ridiculous.

I hear that, Frazier McLaren is a free agent, enquiry after Justin Johnson and then see if we can't tempt James Hand back to the league from the LNAH, he was a tough chap.

And before Neilson comes out with the excuse there is a lack of good quality free agents out there..... www.britishicehockey.co.uk/eihl/coventry-blaze/almeida-and-syner-sign-for-blaze/

Well last week there were players apparently 'knocking at the door to join'... where have they gone?
To be honest, I'd take Bombis. Thought he was quite a hard working, irritatant with a bit of skill about him.

Coventry? To be honest, I'd take Bombis. Not for me. But it's the sort of lazy recruitment we love (already here), so could easily happen.
