I challenge anyone to defend the Panthers organisation right now. Rather noticeable that a few of the most positive (delusional) posters have been very quiet lately.
What a pathetic hockey outfit we've become. It's a complete disgrace.
If any of you match attending non ST regulars have got any sense you'll stop going to the games. It's the only way they'll take any notice.

Completely depends on the night before but can't see anything other than a loss. It won't be quite as much as the 8-1 last time around though. Fortunately I'll be missing this game. I'm still recovering from having to listen to "we are number 1" several times last match. Cringe. Forget my last post - you were right it was not as bad as 8-1 - we must be getting better, and starting to gel as a team - Cory's plan A must be working at last

I haven't attended since October. Not gonna either until changes are made.

This is sbsolutely disgraceful, I can honestly say since being a season ticket holder since 1983, this is one of the worse sides I have ever watched, at the end of the day it boils down to the coach, which we do not appear to have this season. He has kept his job, in my opinion from the season we won the grand slam. I know we have injuries but so do other sides, Time for change but Im not holding my breath, unfortunately cannot gas the whole side. Coreys lived on his laurels far too long. Over to you Mr Black.!!!

Good news, it's over! Blacky needs to be down the NIC on Monday with a stack of P45s, fill the names in as he runs into people. Do you think dismantling the side 1/3 of the way though the season is a good idea. After last nights 5-4 loss you would be hoping for another close game. Who would be the first player to get his P45, CN said some of the players are lucky not to be following Kalus down the road, lets see if he follows through with his threat It's only a game, and not the end of the world, tomorrow is new day PS As anybody tried praying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really good result, I seriously thought we would concede ten plus. Did well to keep them down to only 6 and at the same time mange to sneak a goal.

This side are terrible, there's nothing worth saving. First to be gone should be the clueless one who is presumably hiding from Gary's dictaphone in the gents at Shuff Arena about now. He should've been sacked years ago, but Panthers do the easy thing at all times. This is why Sheffield are light years ahead of us in all departments now. Nothing will happen though, we might throw some nothing player under the bus (MacMillan) and replace him with some old ringer like this Williams chap, but that's just polishing the turd. It'll appease the sort of clappers we have so many of though.

Well that was good. All that BS about building up for three key games. Well whaddya know, we lost ALL of them. We need some big changes urgently but I won't hold my breath. Regretting buying my ST again big time.

I wasnt personally. We gave it everything last night and it wasnt enough. Mentally this team is beat. It needs dismantaling. I was totally expecting to be soundly beaten tonight. In order: MacMillan - as useless an import as ive seen. Carter - simply hasnt performed. A couple of flashes last night wouldnt save him if it was me. Spang - based on CV he might be the biggest underachiver on the team. Moran - not a game changer that we need. Players that would be getting a serious talking to. Mcgratten - the production just isnt there. But we're not depending on him at least. Lacho - you're playing for a contract next season Betterridge - same as above Sertic - just not seeing enough going forward and not exactly a rock at the back. The only players that are escaping critisisum from me atm are. Farmer and Nikoforuk.

Two first choice defencemen out first choice goalie out and a high scoring forward out gotta say that realistically its not that bad.
Should/could the squad be bigger to cater for injuries, yes but who carries 4 spares who are capable of being on the first or second line anywhere in europe or north americs at a similar skill/pay level

Betteridge would not be a top performer or high earner and wouldn't be expected to score 20+ goals a season, but is playing a damn sight better than most. He spent most of the latter part of last season logging no ice time at all even when we were winning (oh the memories)but then CN touts him as the new myers at the beginning of the season!!

Hes been ok the last few games but i thought he was quite flat the last couple of months im hoping hes turned a corner. But he's gotta earn that praise from me. Also i was hoping for more or a power forward but maybe my expectations were wrong.

Let say the 3 amigos got the P45, you could only replace the with EU passport holders because of the time it would take for a visa, if CN is true to his word it will be 1 or maybe 2 at most to start.
Panther's have players get a few goals like Carter, Nickiforuk, and then don't see the for another 3 or 4 game, what about the Brits Lacko, Farmer and Lee none have any cocsistancy!!!!

The only two i would want to keep from this shambles of a team are Farmer and Brown. The rest can follow Neilson and get the next bus home.
Quite honestly,if we ditched half the team and signed eight or nine new guys now,we couldn't be any worse !

Whereas other clubs sign cover so they aren't short, I know Sheffield were bodies down but they lost at least one last night. The club will have an idea how long Waugh is likely to be out but no cover is signed, no drafting in another player, no nothing!

It's not a plausible excuse. We have been thrashed 19-6 by the Steelers over the last three games !

Quite honestly,if we ditched half the team and signed eight or nine new guys now,we couldn't be any worse ! I honestly think Nikoforuk is the victim of a bad team. He has so much more heart that nearly all the other guys despite being 5ft nothing. He's quick, got a good release, stands up for his team mates and throws his body in front of shots as bravely as anyone. The skills are clearly there but he has no feed at the moment. Put him with some decent line mates and he'll do damage. But your right after those 3 theres noone im fussed about keeping. In on ice terms Lawrence is a guy i would keep. But theres always that question of does he have a negative impact with his off ice antics.

The big question is, are there players out there and available that are good enough?

Perhaps we're missing the point. Are the raw materials ok and it's the coach we need to change to se what someone different can do with them?
