No surprise enough notices has pushed the poor game at the weekend off the main panthers page.... all done by Tuesday well done to all the management involved and with an article about getting players back for the weekend.. imagine my surprise at that one, wonder if they will disappear again once the conti cup has gone?..

Replace the coach first. Anything else is just a waste of time.

Classed as a brit to!!?? www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=186992I've interviewed him. He's a really nice kid And a good player but I don't think he'd venture to the UK for a few years yet. A top ten pick with a lot of potential to be explored.

He'd probably be keen to give up the NHL to drink beer with Chris Lawrence.

I think the Brit pack needs a big reshuffle next season as it just isn't up to scratch this season. it will mean having to spend some but we must be spending a fair whack on Lacho and Lee and getting nothing back from them. We should keep Farmer, Clarke as player/assistant coach and keep Betteridge on the 4th line. Gas Lacho, he's been given chance after chance after chance and keeps getting worse, he's a shadow of the player he was during the Grand Slam season and before and I'm at loss to explain why and pretty much similar case with Lee. We should then show real intent by going after the likes of Ben Bowns, Josh Batch, Matty Davies and Ben Davies. Maybe go after Brett Perlini and Jack Prince too. It may be costly but the Panthers can afford that after all the wages that went to Myers were never replaced but i with a Brit pack like that we will definitely get far better return and value than we currently get.

Keep Farmer and Clarke and get rid of the rest. At this point (and I never in a million years thought I would EVER say it) even Jason Hewitt would run rings around the rest of them.

Farmer's points tally over the season and half as been abysmal, please don't come with " he's playing a different role" rubbish.

Should they stay or should they go?
Wiikman - keep until the end of the season, where are you going to find a top class nettie at this point? Green - keep. Pacl - keep. Dimmen - keep, decent d-man and decent going forward. Sertich - tara. Spang - tara. Waugh - when fit, keep. Lee - have to keep as he's a Brit. Kudroč - keep but put someone with pace alongside him! Clarke - see Lee. Lachowicz - see Lee, but tara at the end of the season. Nikiforuk - keep. McGrattan - keep but use him properly. Schultz - have to keep, even a third fit je's our most likely goalscorer! Brown - keep. Carter - reminds me of Lawrence in his first season. Clearly has talent but (seemingly) can't be bothered most of the time. Tara. Lawrence - should've been released last week. If that's how he acts away from the rink most of the time it's a disgrace. Tara. Farmer - keep and make him an A. Lindhagen - keep. Moran - keep. MacMillan - sorry to say, but despite playing a large part of the season on D he's just not performing this year. Tara. Betteridge - keep.
So that's 5 potential new Imports. 7 if you look to replace the two injured D-men. Despite all of the above though, I wouldn't release anybody until we've got replacements in!!

I don't think we will see major changes until we are done with Europe.

Whenever somebody says this player or the player is not getting points " he's playing a different roll" the only excuse a player should have is if he's opening/closing the bench door Farmer 3 goals in 25 games wow

Humm I think we will see changes before Europe, it is after all what Black is interested in and there is no way we will win that playing the way we are now. I am struggling to think of many players we currently have that I would like to see next year (Brits included)

Whether we like it or not we need a certain number of them, and replacements who would be any better are hard to come by, especially when Corey keeps mugging off the more promising ones.

not sure where to put this post but when players were signed i said a big no thanks to Brown and called Carter to get 40 goals. Hands are up with a solid "my bad" Carter would do well if he was used to playing in a more physical league and had a play maker on his line (you'd like to think anyway) and Brown has exceeded expectation, great energy guy and id like him to be back next season. For the brits youve got to wonder how we can shuffle the pack, its so weak! Why we ever let Richardson and Swindlehurst go is beyond me, both are mass upgrade on what we have/had on D this year. lacho and Ollie arent the best we could do with throwing some money at other players and hope they bite. would you have moved for Peacock in this summer? Clarke and Farmer are safe. As for the Imports id retain dimmen, Kudroc, Nikiforuk, Brown and McGrattan. the rest im not fussed about. id have kept Waugh but two long injuries in two years has put him to the axe and i know Dimmen was injured last year and is this year but the collision for this current injury was just one of those awkward knocks that could go either way. Id get in a new goalie over Wiikman and keep Pacl but we need a goalie coach to work with them to improve them and keep them healthy.

Id get in a new goalie over Wiikman and keep Pacl but we need a goalie coach to work with them to improve them and keep them healthy. brits, I'd keep clarke and farmer,betteridge possibly Lee as a 7th dman,try and bring back swindle Hurst and have 5 import dmen, lacho swapped for either prince or Ben Davies.I'd let green go aswell , I can't see why he's being played when Corey obviously doesn't trust him. Tom mardy would be my back up choice as a Brit, looks really capable between the pipes. imports, get rid of spang, sertich and waugh,adding another big dman like kudroc but younger and 1 offensive d plus swindle Hurst. keep brown and play him 4th line with ollie and mcgrattan, physical line I'd keep shultz,Larry ,nikiforuk, Carter maybe ( think he'd produce with a proper playmaker on his line) let moran and macmillan go , playmaker and a sniper coming in, to me that would have everything we need to challenge

Whoever decided to get rid of Swindlehurst and keep Betteridge must have been blackmailed or something. Utter and complete stupidity on a whole new level! Lachowicz - Over performed in earlier years and now found his natural level (EPL) Lee - A turnover machine with about a one in ten chance of ever completing a pass (to someone on the same team)
Waugh has to have a question mark after such a big concussion (plus his uni course is finished next year) Shultz - Massively overrated Carter - Obvious skill in very VERY short bursts but utterly hopeless consistency Sertich - Totally unconvincing Macmillen - Should have gone weeks ago Spang - Five parts genius, two parts pillock Lawrence - Should have gone the day after the pub quiz McGrattan - Doubt if he wants to come back anyway Wiikman - I know he's "our Miika" but there is a handful of better netminders in our league already Pacl - Will be good with proper coaching and experience but he is bound to move on anyway
Recruiting more Brits? Good luck with that because unless you are going to start from scratch and then have them leave for another club in two years there just are not any out there.

He was "celebrating" very hard To be fair to Lawrence,he's been one of the few who have pretty much done their job on the ice. The problem with it though,is the effect it has on the other players. I'm pretty convinced it's this sort of behaviour that is behind Macgrattans current sour looking mood and it isn't going to go down well !
