Why do you think we're looking at three bans? Is it a hunch or based on fact? I expect the one from Brown to be reviewed as will the Fretter one as it caused injury, also apparently Fitzgerald is out of tonight's game after Mcgrattens elbow on him. I think they will be reviewed, especially after Thompson called Mcgrattens one a check to the head in the interview and so potentially bans will be coming. |

The ref should be looking at a suspension.

For me the abject performance of the officials will be used to mask another poor performance from the team - having said that it was much less poor than recent weeks. I said to the guys next to me that I had watched the warmup and it was scary how even in the warmup the Steelers looked sharper, fitter, faster than us. Also they had what appeared to be a team spirit. Our guys look like they had all been on the McDonald's before the game......oh. Won't comment too much on the game as it's all been done to death, but last night re-iterated that the whole club needs a shake down. The Panthers are a sports organisation, GM used to use the term "sports entertainment" to describe a night at the Panthers, the same term used to describe WWE wrestling - I'm sorry but that's not acceptable to me. The ethos of this club is wrong and that's a huge part of why we are staring at the bottom of the league and the club is doing nothing about it. On another note we may be facing up to 3 bans from last night which would leave us going into an away game at Cardiff potentially minus Waugh, Dimmen, Clarke, Mcgratten, Brown and A N Other (not sure who hit Fretter), plus Wiikman might not play. It's just a total shambles. Three suspensions would be positive for the club, gives them a few more excuses for further losses, |

I could have sworn it was Lawrence who elbowed him in the head but the incompetent referee's thought it was McGrattan |

All this talk about losing momentum, when will some of you realise, they've got your money, anyone would think you've come to watch your team win a professional game of hockey.Surely now it will sink in, they don't give a monkeys.

Hey, Magrattan isn't the only one contributing none or hardly any league points. Mcgrattan,Macmillan and Lacho have contributed about 4 points all season BETWEEN THEM !!!!! Thst's my point, nail on head. With other players failing to score points then the no doubt highly paid enforcer on the team with 10 years NHL experience behind him needs to contribute. I don't buy the "he plays great with Farmer, killer pass, best playing tough guy in the league" stuff either. The team is lacking a leader, he has the experience he should be grabbing this team and leading by example. Good players stand out no matter what turd is around them. He contributes very little apart from fighting, the points board shows that. Fitzgerald or Desbiens fighting him is a worse trade off for us on his contribution this year. Yes, I've only seen the games in Sheffield but he was awful, hence his icetime is not what it should be. I can see your logic but you couldn't be farther from the mark if you tried. What is a guy supposed to do when his coach will not allow him to play the way he always has? Having watched him throughout his career i can tell you he IS without a doubt the best tough guy in this league. When your coach doesn't let you play your role what can you do? He's being wasted by washed up, clueless coach. He set him up as a clog in the neural zone, not a forechecking hitter. Last night was the first time all season I've seen him being allowed to let loose and it got the boys going. |

Fretter took a dive, he got a love tap in the corner and dropped he never even hit the boards. Larry took out Fitz which may get reviewed and Browns hit looked shoulder to shoulder, Ratchuk will remember to keep his head up in future. |

Browns hit on Ratchuk looked clean. The hit on Fitzgerald,couldn't see as it was up the other end,but two games if current protocol is followed,but because it's a Panther.....ooh probably six games ! |

..... Then you have the disruption to the lines of losing those players, and then you have even more disruption to the forward lines by dropping players back to the defence. The "disruption to the forward lines" you speak of is done by our coach, even when we have a full bench, on a shift by shift basis. And has been for years. Funny how Steelers (and most, if not all, the other 8 teams in the EIHL) always seem to get their lines sorted early, then play them consistently. Maybe this is how they get so much "chemistry" and Panthers have, it appears, so little. It's a bit like being a racing car driver and getting to drive a totally different car every time you leave the pits. How can you get the best out of your car for that time, when there's no continuity? |

Nothing got called,but Fretter should have been called for diving/embellishment. |
