Ref was shocking. Steelers discipline was shocking. Miika was immense.
Great win, and what a double over them.

Nottingham Panthers @panthersihc No inflatable tonight as the club had plans to put it on the plaza for fans to get photos that fell through. Old school intro today! More Phil Cooper cooperphil156 @panthersihc Could have put it out at the last minute and asked GM to inflate it with hot air!

I personally thought we had much the better of the chances and deserved to win regardless of their indiscipline. Their defence was terrible, we had so many counters.

The good, the bad & the Steve Lee. For the most part we played and looked like we'd just come back from a late night party. However, it now looks like we have an actual sniper in the team!! Williams was a cut above. Fitzgerald once again turned into a church mouse every time McGrattan came out. When a guy who relies on his physical intimation, is intimidated himself, he's made redundant. Overall I think Steelers were better, but when the coach is such a hot-head, the team struggle to gain discipline when things don't go their way... the theatrics of any call they didn't agree with, arms flailing in the air, constant arguments with the ref, screaming from the bench, the whole lot were embarrassing! Thought the League had brought out a new rule regarding dissent - obviously this excludes Thommo and the rest of the Steelers - have the refs been ordered to ignore any foul play by Steelers - two games two poor refereeing performances. Well played Panthers, Williams shows what we have been missing, cannot wait till we have a full strength squad - apart from a few lapses a good team effort and every-one played a part.

Jason Williams. Wow. Just wow. Miika also proved that when he's fit he's the best goalie in the league.

One frustrating game but bitter sweet win. We spent most of the game playing poor compared to previous games and the Steelers but we kept ourselves in there and kept fighting and took advantage of their indiscipline. Miika bailied us out with some fantastic saves, a well deserved MoM. Extremely impressed with Williams, cracking player and yet we still have more to see from him. Still buzzing from that GWG!

And Thommo - what a plank, and what has happened to the new dissent rule, does it not apply to Steelers??

Great game and great two victories in the Christmas series. Can't remember the last time we won both games!
Also, did anyone else see the slash on Lachowicz from the Steelers bench?! Extremely poor display of sportsmanship!

Those fines that have stopped every team except Steelers making public criticism of the officials, still yet to receive a warning. They had two guys after the final hooter, plus coach, screaming at the ref... no problem in the leagues eyes?!

As good as Mikka was once again. Williams was easily the best player on that ice. At times too good for the opposition. Honorable mentions go schultz and Nikiforuk again. Outstanding team effort and a excellent 4 point haul

Well I nearly fell over the seat in front of me when Williams smacked in the winner...what a hit!
Third period was brilliant,got very feisty and Thommo and his team lost the plot!
First two weren't particularly pretty,for me we came to life when Mikka made that fantastic save mid way through the second,it seemed to inspire the team to step it up.

Great game and an awesome come from behind win that one. Amazing what bringing in some real quality does to a team.
As for Roy and Thommo.....well,just stupid and hysterical spring to mind !

I see that elsewhere that self-declared example of neutral comment 'Doom' is whinging about the ref. Not sure he has a leg to stand on, what with Steelers losing the plot and even slashing Panthers players from the bench (which went unpunished).
Overall I think Steelers played the better hockey, but their lack of discipline and Panther's grit won the day.

a very similar performance to boxing day, struggled to clear the zone at times and missing some quality to finish off some chances created, however one shining light of quality is Jason Williams, brilliant first 2 games and when he is fully match fit he will really tear it up i'm sure.
Wiikman again kept us in the game with some to class saves a well deserved MOM tonight.
the difference we have seen in the last 2 games is we have battled from first to last whistle, this has got reaction from the crowd as its easier to reciprocate the effort levels when the players are trying!
a great 4 points to get against steelers, and with some extra bodies to come back it will only help us for the remainder of the season.

No doubt there will be no consequences... as usual.

If it were the opposite way round, Steelers would have it in the game highlights... I bet we don't!

It definitely happened, I saw it clearly looking straight down the ice from block 10. Have to be impressed by our players reaction though. Just got on with it, regrouped, took a breather and got ready for the next shift. No histrionics, no arm waving, no high pitched whining at the stripeys, no banging boards with sticks. A lesson in discipline.

More Phil Cooper cooperphil156 @panthersihc Could have put it out at the last minute and asked GM to inflate it with hot air! There was a rumour going around that it was going to be secretly filled with Helium and then tied to GM's left ankle but the story was leaked and the whole thing was cancelled last minute.
