What a great shame tonight's game isn't available on a webcast, so many people around the UK along with me would have liked to watch this encounter, it's crazy that only three teams don't offer this service, are the other 7 teams wrong. And Manchester are considering streaming theirs. Don't get it myself, you guys have the perfect camera position to offer good pictures. Great, great, shame.

I've just asked the club spokeswoman, Mary Goran, and she confirms that yes, the other 7 clubs are indeed wrong.

Great answer mate, and probably spot on, wonder what % of Panthers fans watch webcasts when the panthers play away, especially games against big rivals, it's the common sense thing to do. Wonder if the Moron watches Panthers when they are away, they are certainly losing revenue, there again maybe they don't need the money, but it's still a great shame.

To me it looks like Rutherford wasn't even looking at the player when it happened - it looked much more like a collision than a hit. Yes I know the rules are that you're responsible for hits to the head regardless of whether they're intentional, but there are unintentional hits to the head and unintentional hits to the head.
The Venus one looked far worse to me.

We are looking very ordinary against a very very ordinary belfast team. Its anazing how the whole issue of the protest has gone to pot just because we did well in the continental cup. People must have very short memorys or are easily placated....... Even if we win in some form against belfast tonight its only papering over the cracks......

People clapping at the end of overtime. All I can say is they must be easily entertained......

I thought we started really well, petered out after 10mins and by the end of the game we only came away with any points due to a poor Giants team not finishing us off. If we played like that against any other EIHL team we'd have easily lost, simple as.
I don't know what was more hilarious, Carter sinking a beaut of a pen shot after another frankly abject performance and missing several easy attempts or McGrattan getting MoM.
Maybe it's the monkey off our back, I tend to think (by the attitude and application of most this team) it could just be down to the fact a broken clock is correct twice a day & that Giants didn't get 'the bounces go their way'!!

First things first. We deserved to win in regulation. We were 100% the better team.
BUT
That is by no way a compliment to Panthers. The 3 times I've seen Belfast I've thought they were poor and tonight was no different. To be the better side in that game is no good thing.
Quality was massively lacking again and I don't know if it's Belfast clogging up the game with overly negative play, is being poor or a mixture. It's probably the latter.

Well we played better than the last few league games,we were the better team tonight and had plenty of chances to score a few more I felt.
Mikka had a good game as did Murphy,I thought both should have had MOM personally.
Totally flat atmosphere understandably and not a huge crowd either so maybe some fans were voting with their feet!

The truth is that Neilson has to go! Under the bonnet we are the same Neilson team that has had all skill coached out of them. look forward to a non Neilson team as I am so bored and wonder if I would bother without my season ticket

The agreement....or lack of on the form that any protest would take is irrelevant..the fact that there is no talk of a protest at all tells you all that you need to know about the majority of the fanbase......

Feel sorry for Lacho being robbed of a deserved goal tonight, he had a really good game. Don't know what the ref was thinking tonight, one of the worst performances I've seen by an offical for a while and that's hard given how poor they've been throughout this and last year.
Average performance against a poor side. We have a team full of grit but Corey still chose to play them like an offensively rich team. Not impressed by any means, nothing has changed in my eyes. 2 points richer, just as lifeless as before.
Change is needed and the coaches should be the first to go.

I think we deserved the 2 points. It wasn't going to be about the performance tonight, it was about getting a result.
I thought the Giants sucked the life out of the game and that's a good tactic. Our fans were always going to struggle to get an atmosphere going because we've had nothing to cheer about recently and people are on edge.
I'm purposely trying not to be negative because we've got a result but we must do better Sunday!

Atmosphere in the arena tonight was possibly the worse I've experienced. The team gets the first goal after 2 minutes and the Panthers fans couldn't even muster up a chant or two. It's no wonder why other teams call the Panthers fans dull. People saying "nothing to cheer about" should have no implications on an atmosphere at all. There are teams in all sports who aren't doing very well but you'll find that their fans continue creating the 'home atmosphere' to give their team the backing, no matter if they're winning or losing, it can do wonders for confidence when you have the backing of 5000+ fans. Hearing Ken trying to get the fans going but getting no reaction is embarrassing.
Anyway. Boring game between two average teams. I'm hoping Belfast are our bogey team, if we play like this against Fife on Sunday or Steelers on the 3rd, we literally have no chance of getting any points. Steelers could 8 - 1 us at home if we continue this way.
2 points though... Could have been worse.

And that is the reason there was no noise,Panthers fans need the team to get them going rather than the fans to get the team going,always been the case. I looked around the arena last night and most were sat looking nervous and apprehensive,expecting Giants to score everytime they went forward. Until we get a few convincing wins nothing will change.

I thought we played better tonight, although still some basic errors. A shame Spang didn't score after his mazy skate up the ice.
Carter still not convincing. The release on his penalty shot was so quick. Why can't he do it in a game.
Nikiforuk works both ends of the ice so well.
Thought both netminders were mom tonight, and whoever chose Nickerson and McGrattan was obviously a fight fan.
Let's hope this is a confidence boost for Sunday, although still plenty of work to do.

Another average game between two poor teams and another below par performance.
We just about deserved the win but if either of these teams end the season with domestic silverware I will be amazed.
Mom choices were a joke, officiating was awful (horrific call on the disallowed goal). Some things never change.

We were by far the better team until we went on the powerplay...which for some reason made Belfast look the better team!!
Deserved the win in regulation. Perfectly good goal disallowed too.

Papering over the cracks for me im afraid. We're just not a high quality team atm. Ive said it before and im sure i'll end up saying it again we need a playmaker. We have a total inability to break teams down when we're not playing well (which seems to be about 90% of the time right now). There's just no spark, no one player who you think 'hes gonna dig us out of this hole'. And we're not getting the most out of alot of guys because they're not getting the service they need.
Its worrying now easy we are to defend against. As we transition you just clog the neutral zone with 4 guys and force us to dump and chase. If by some miricle we actually manage to cleanly win the puck in your zone, just put 4 guys in the slot and let us pass it around the outside till we turn it over.
I still feel personel changes are need. We just dont have the tools for the job.

I'm not sure why Mcgratten played a lot in the first period...didn't ice for most of the second and third (although sat the bench penalty in this time) and then had about 2 shifts end of third.
Benched or took a knock?
