Each of the 5 Green let in were slapshot bombs, straight into the top corner. He's what? 34 and hasn't played competitively since Amiens. We cannot expect better from someone who each time plays, concedes in excess of 4 and with that, I won't be moaning about Green's performance. Well it was actually 4 he let in. 2 were top corner and both breakaways so I'll let him off for those. However goal 4 for the Blaze (Greens 2nd) was horrific. Beaten low short side and in no way was that a "slapshot bomb". Then the OT winner was a simple wrist shot 5-hole and not a hard shot at all. Not a 5 hole OT winner but still a goal Brad Moran should have scored 10sec before they did, the really bad give away goal was Blaze 4 Farmer gives green beaten short side should have saved that one.

The goal on the Farmer give away was given with a double assist for Blaze players if I remember, not sure what the ref was seeing there.

Now seeing that Dan Green is getting a lot of Grief here, should the D have stepped up as its the back up in between the pipes instead ?
Just asking ?

Why all the conspiracy theories? He started in the EIHL in Cardiff for 2 years, then came to us for 2 years... then back to Cardiff for 3 years, Kazakhstan for 1 year (and not even a full year at that), then back to Cardiff for another 4 years so far. What doesn't add up about that? It seems fairly obvious to me that - for whatever reason(s) - Cardiff is his number one choice, simple as that. I don't think we need to be going looking for things that probably aren't even there... Conspiracy theory? Not really. Just a few peoples opinion on a bit of a contradictory set of circumstances. Homesick for Swindon/Cardiff whilst living/working in Nottingham. Goes to live/work in Kazakhstan? OK then. I've lived/worked abroad before so I get the homesick bit. A few years of this and I was ready for home. It was a fair bit further distance wise than Nottingham to Swindon too. So the thought of upping sticks again, and moving again thousands of miles further away, within a couple of years, no thanks.

It was an absolutely woeful display of netminding even for an absolute emergency situation and I hope that's the last time we see him skate on this season. He might be a nice guy, add everyone to his Facebook and smile at jokes at quiz nights but he isn't good enough to back up for the Keystone Cops "B" team.

I'll have to rewatch the highlights again, looked like a 5-hole to me but our wonderful highlights packages never give extra angles or slow-mo shots of other teams goals. IGNORE WHAT I SAID ABOUT MORAN'S CHANCE.

Looking at EP, he was 21 when he joined Panthers in 2007, and 26 when he went to Kazakhstan for 13games. People can change alot in 5years, and especially so in maturity between 21yo and 26yo. I don't think the short move to Kazakhstan 5 years on can in itself rubbish any of the initial reports of homesickness personally.

Its only opinions at the end of the day.

You are indeed correct. Difficult even on slowmo, but it looks like it was just over his pad blocker side.

Green's rubbish and we know he is and those who play with him know it to. Knowing that you have to make better decisions than some of our forwards made at key times:
- Farmer throwing a soft backhand into the middle of the ice leading to their equaliser (the worst of the 4 Green conceded). - Schultz being to fancy whilst on the PP gifted them the breakaway for the 5th, in that situation knowing who's back there you have to make better decisions than that. He was also guilty of the same thing on the 6th goal, arguably our 3 most creative players where out there but he conceded possesion again when set up in the zone leading to the ill-fated line change (less said about that the better).
Given the situation it was point earned rather than a point lost though.
