I'm sure GM could ask the arena engineers to pretend the lights have broken or something and buy us all an extra 20 minutes or so. 😉 A 7pm face off is rather silly on a midweek night ! 😩 To be honest, the Panthers probably agree. But we're playing with the big boys now and TV calls the shots. Dont forget that 7pm here is an 8pm start in Europe and everyone else will be happy with that Well ok,but what if we had "transport problems" ! That's usually a good excuse. 😂

Still, whoever gets the cash.....a larger, loud crowd can only help Panthers create more history, that should be enough to get the marketing machine into overdrive! Well, I am doing my bit and taking some customers with me... so that's 9 tickets of which 7 are true hockey fans from outside the area! As much as I want a full house, I don't want it if it means that people will be getting out their seats to get drinks every 10 minutes. I'd rather have 4000 fans intent on watching the game instead of casuals having a night out. That kind if thing happened last season. we heard the noise against Mountfield and Bern, you would have fought there were 10,000 people in the arena during those games. As long as everyone who is there gets involved with all the chants and pushes the boys on the atmosphere will be superb

Did you not read my post.....7 true hockey fans, oh and the other 2 are me and my daughter who go week in week out. Not that I should have to justify anything!

Off on a tangent, but, looks like the Q&A has been rescheduled for this week Starting at 5.15. He could be talking to himself for the 1st half. I doubt many people will be able to make that time.

Ditto... I work in Chesterfield and don't finish until 5:30pm... this one is going to be tricky! And, of course, the security checks will only make that worse. I'm sure GM could ask the arena engineers to pretend the lights have broken or something and buy us all an extra 20 minutes or so. 😉 A 7pm face off is rather silly on a midweek night ! 😩 Most games midweek in the NHL face off at 7. What's the difference? People go to work there too lol

Looks like two of their top centres are injured for this one.
Eric Perrin and Ilari Filppula.

Indeed. Not often a late blooming undersized Stanley Cup winner comes to town. Never mind though, their loss, our gain etc. Henrik Tallinder is on D, with 700+ NHL games to his credit, mostly for Buffalo. 40 year old Tommi Kallio is next top scorer behind Perrin, but I'll be looking at Petrus Palmu, all 5 foot 7 of him, I suspect he'll make Mosey look like Zach Fitzgerald, skating wise. I'd expect Setanen to start in net, he's got some impressive numbers this and last season (I note he played for Lukko in 14-15, so may even have played/been here before). I'm very much looking forward to seeing how some patchy domestic form translates to the "biggest" game Panthers have had in the last 10 years or more.

Excited for tonight but just have a feeling we could be in for an anti-climax.
Our previous results may be making us blind to the fact that on paper we should be getting thrashed tonight. Thankfully games aren't played on paper and that's why we are in the position we are in right now but just hope if things don't go our way that we don't get too down about it.
As a realist I'm going with a 3-1 defeat but if we are still within one goal going into the last period then a loud arena could give us the edge. Keep it simple, stay out of the box and we give ourselves a chance.
Come on boys!!!

Looking forward to tonight, just a little concerned that Tom Pering will be wearing a set of stripes.

0-0 after first, quite even, had a couple of good looks, especially Mosey's chance.

Great performance often with the backs to the wall. These guys looked out on their legs at the end against a really good side. A break on the golf course perhaps would be richly deserved.

What a high level of hockey. Thoroughly chuffed. They had more shots, way more powerplsys but at the end of the day The scoreline never lies.
Absolute amazing win for the a panthers and for the EIHL. I can hardly contain my happiness right now. Bloody chuffed.
A huge mention also has to go to Cardiff for demolishing Vaxjo 5-1 tonight also. Doing the EIHL proud.

Wow, what a win. 3rd period seemed was like one long PK. Awesome result.

Ludicrous. Almost as ludicrous as realising Garnett not only got a shutout but scored our first goal on his way to a MoM performance!?
Only thing though is how p*****d off I feel to have to sit through the dross of our league performances, when we can shutout a team currently 2nd in the Finnish Liiga!

To qualify is amazing, but to qualify with a game to spare...
Enormous credit to Neilson and the players, they really know how to get the job done in the CHL.

Amazing performance, despite the best effort of the on-ice officials.
