I hope bussieres changes to the Brown and Lindhagen line. Seems like he has got so much more to show but is slowed down by lacho and betteridge.

Bussieres looks most dispirited on that line. The line is very disjointed. Still early days yet As for the game itself..... We got the two points that's the main thing. Think we struggled with their speed. They've got a pretty decent defence and of course Stewart behind them. Having said that they had an import less than us tonight and still have us trouble. If we play like that tomorrow alas there will be a very different result...

Made hard work of that in all honesty, but Guildford look a well organised & coached team too be fair. Think Panthers just edged it but steak dinners all around for Garnett; best player for Panthers tonight by a country mile.

That was nerve racking, defence was nonexistent and passing was extremely poor. Honestly that was a let off big time. Clarke didn't have a great game he has been disappointing so far. Two positive bits to take away, garnett if awesome and moshankshev could well be our best offensive player this year the lad has some serious skills

We look like a team of very good players just trying too hard all the time to make the perfect play or goal.
Bit more time and I think we'll click

Well much like last Saturday...that was incredibly hard work!
I thought we were poor in parts tonight and just couldn't seem to get anything going,Guildford played a solid road game but even so we didn't create enough in my eyes.
We got the 2 points but we must improve as we won't keep getting away with it for long.

Well that was hard work, jeez thank god for Garnett 😤
I'm struggling to see what the strength is in this Panthers team as each game goes by. What are we ?
A good defensive team ? A skilled team ? A hard hitting team ? A goal scoring team ?
Because we seem to be a different team every game and the big strength seems to be Garnett ! 🙄

What a great display of net minding by both goalies tonight. I think we're missing Brisebois at the back because he makes us more physical which is much more suited to the league.
2 points gained but we need to get better

OK game, think Flames were better than anyone expected them to be. Any time they stepped across the blue line they was looking to shoot and their second goal proved a perfect example of this. On the other hand we were trying to many fancy passes, trying to get the perfect goal. Our PP is still very frustrating for this reason.
As for the lines I think the first two are fine, Mok/Phillips/Derlago and Farmer/Perlini/Shalla. The other two, whilst they do work hard, just doesn't seem to be working as well. I think once Mosey is moved back to forward we can have a change around of lines.
Gonna be tough away tomorrow but I like this group of players and think things will eventually come good.

Not much worked tonight. Guildford were better than expected but these don't look the same players who beat Mountfield and Bern. Maybe a reality check is needed? There's no mileage in the CHL, the league is our bread and butter.

first game of the season for me so I only have reports to go on. But first impressions are - top line are skilled and to get the best out of Mokshantsev he will need to be on that line. Guilford played a perfect game and clogged up the middle of the ice so we had no room to move. Phillips will hopefully learn over time that he doesn't have to make a perfect play, but he's good at both ends of the ice. Like most people, I think having Mosey as a forward will make a big difference to whichever line he is on, I can see him with Bussieres and possibly Lacho. We do need to sort the PP out though, I've never seen a PP as bad as ours tonight. Thought Garnett should have done better with the first goal, soft rebound.

Let's just hope Sauve stays. Because based on the last three games,without him we would be not much better than average !

I'm not too concerned still.
Guildford are a good team, exceptionally hungry players fresh out of college hockey. They're fast, nimble and gritty with a whole lot of chippiness too. Not to mention, they have Stewart in net. Stewart was the difference maker.
Stewart faced 45 recorded shots on goal tonight, that's a very busy night. Through most of the game I thought we weren't taking enough shots too!
The defence was a bit better than last week, but still far from perfect. Unforced errors and passes going astray. However, there were other times where they played well. Forwards looked creative again but being overly pedantic in trying to walk the puck in rather than throw some shots at Stewart. We know Stewart gives dodgy rebounds, yet we still try and walk through and get a tap in. Shalla for 2 periods was one of those who seemed to want to pass rather than shoot, Spang too.. when was the last shot he had on net? Most either go meters wide or end up being passes, just release a shot at the goal for once!
Mokshantsev and Lindhagen deserve the biggest shoutouts. Thought both were exceptional, creating chances from nothing and giving it their all from start to finish.

Perhaps Guildford ain't the canon fodder of a team most thought pre season.
We got the 2 points that's the most important. Move on

Another note,the new intro is really boring. The video isn't bad the music is just too slow. As soon as it had finished the crowd were quiet.
We need the air raid siren and the goal lights back on!

Panthers made hard work of that. We look a frustrated team atm. So many bad passes and stick handling errors.
We really struggled to break flames down and we need to be better. We overplay the puck so much going forward.
We also dont seem to be able to keep momentum thoughout a game. We're were ok but flat in the first, which i was surprised about after Corey singled out our lack of hits and intesity last weekend. The start if the second was awful and we deserved to go behind. The second half of the second was better. Then the third was flat again until the end.
I agree with others that Brussieres is wasted on the forth line.
Guildford worked hard and were well organised. Credit it to them. I still think they lack quality but if they graft like that they'll give a good account of themselves.
Finally i thought the stripeys were awful! I rarely moan about the officials but not this time. Offsides missed, onsides called off, the ridiculous icing call. Thats not even talking about the missed penalties.

Agreed about the intro. It's a good video but it's not an intro video. We just can't seem to get this right. Enjoyed the game tonight, good to see two teams being allowed to play physical, there were some shockers from the linesman but can't grumble about Perring letting the game flow. Guildford are a well organised unit. If Stewart can stay in form then they'll be involved in most games right until the end regardless of opposition. 2 points in the bag is the main thing but we'll need to be more clinical in front of goal and a heck of a lot better at the back tomorrow. I'm happy we're picking up 2 points whilst not at our best though.

The best thing you can say right now is that we're winning games from playing poorly. The CHL intensity has gone and we're stooping to a low EIHL level... Play like we could and we would annihilate Guildford - they were OK and will win a few, but I doubt any trophy engravers will be needing a new name template.

Thought the Flames played a solid game, they just worked tirelessly all night and deserved their point. If we were more clinical we could have put that game to bed but we tried to get the perfect goal and over played at times instead of getting the puck on net and looking for rebounds. Feel we didn't get in Stewart's face enough either as we know how he reacts. Physicality appears to come in waves and abit to infrequent. Still the top two lines being settled should do us well, just need to cut the sloppy turn overs in defence. Hopefully we bring in D cover and can get Mosey back on a forward line. Note to Guildford if they play like they did last night all season they'll have a strong first season in the EIHL.

Have to say i thought the intro video is boring and didn't do much for me at all.
Onto the game, a great performance by Garnett and Mokky is a joy to watch.

We made hard work of that. When Guildford had a man in the box it was difficult to know who was on the power play. Passing was dire at times and one pass too many occurred all too often. Flames looked dangerous going forward and could be in the mix if they keep it up.
But as already said, we got the win and 2 points and grinding games like these with the right result will win championships.
