Well, you’re 33% right... 66% now. Hopefully that’s where it ends. Why, surely you want it to be 100%

66% now. Hopefully that’s where it ends. Why, surely you want it to be 100% Check it again dude. To be 100% that would mean losing in fife tomorrow. 66% means Iginla is wrong and we win tomorrow!

That was a old fashioned battling win.
Pither hopefully is the scorer we've been looking for.
Belfast will be kicking themselves for letting this one slip. They should have turned it on during that last 10 minutes of the 1st Period and seized their opportunities.
Galbraith was unlucky not to get MOM, Lacho (PK) and Gagnon had really good games.
If I didn't know better, I would have said that it was Daryl Lloyd who was Belfast's coach after seeing their player's shenanigan's.

Bloody good win that. Solid goaltending from Galbraith and despite getting kicked out of every faceoff (bar the one to start the game) a solid debut from Pither.
Good performances all round, however I ask these questions:
(1) What has happened to Zack Phillips - really struggled to control the puck tonight
(2) Am I the only one hoping Farmer returns to being "a bit of an idiot". e.g. being a bit "naughty", giving goalies a nudge, etc.

A terrific, battling performance from the team tonight, very proud of how we played defensively. Lee was outstanding imo, he blocked absolutely everything that was sent to net, a true captain’s performance.
Pither showed he’s got what we need, he’s a terrific player, he’s got goals in him, great hands, speed AND he’s very good in the circle!
Finally a shoutout to Gagnon, there was a certain member of the Giants media team calling Gagnon and saying he offers nothing other than toughness, well I hope he was at the game tonight and witnessed how good a hockey player he is. He was absolutely solid at the back and he transitioned superbly, with speed, all night, I’m glad he’s on our team!

As great as it is to win and now get 3 games on the bounce I'm sorry but all I feel after the abysmal Christmas period is annoyance, why didn't the club replace shalla well before Christmas and brought in this guy, then, maybe the season wouldn't be a dud now. Was talking before this shocking run started and was discussing if we had won all the games over Christmas we could have the league tied up by the end of January.... given panthers reluctance to splash the cash I should have know better....

I was at the game tonight. Giants were truly awful. It was game over after 6 mins ! Giants were undisciplined to say the least.
Expect a ban coming on Connelly for a shocking hit on Cole Shudra, and before that Sylvester with a head shot of his own . 2 bags should be on the way..

Ya know,the kid who got away scot free with a head shot about 3 weeks ago against Panthers. Hey Pidge, Did you clock that new Panthers tune last night......in your honour. It was something about pigeons ! Lol 😂

Well, he didn't get away "scot free", did he? He got a 2+10 at the time.
A battling win for Panthers, and Pither looks a find and a half. Let's hope he's more Trevor Gallant than Joe Jensen. but 3 things made me wonder.
Pither and face offs. Did no-one from the club tell him that the EIHL are having a crack down on face off etiquette? He got thrown out of so many for not having his skates in the right place. At one stage, he was actually asking the linesman what he was doing wrong, I'm sure... Phillips' "review" of the goal that wasn't. Phillips was literally the only person in the arena who thought it went in. If a challenge is proven wrong, does the team lose its time out? (I'm sure I saw that the other day...) Clarke's interference penalty in the third was the laziest, most bone headed play I've seen since Farmer got done for slashing (after being put on his behind perfectly legally) on the 27th December. Panthers had just gone 3-2 up, if Giants had scored off that needless PP, it may have all been different.
Ifs and buts though. Thought Whistle was at times spectacular. He saved at least 2 he had no right to be anywhere near.

(1) What has happened to Zack Phillips - really struggled to control the puck tonight It's very rare I have a direct opinion on players, but all I'll say is I'd have hoped Phillips would have got more than 6 goals at this stage of the season... He's got the same number of goals as Jeff Brown, who didn't score one past a goalie all season until this month... This year's Nikiforuk for me. Big CV, well below expected performance.

Phillips would score more if he actually shot the puck a bit more. Gets in some great positions but almost always looks to pass as his first option. Can be quite frustrating.

Yes have to agree. After a promising start Phillips has been very disappointing the last 15-20 games. Never quite saw the big CV though.

I never quite saw the Phillips thing to be honest. I think a lot of people see the high draft pick and message on Twitter from Huberdeau and get over-excited.
Again like so many of Neilson’s players, he’s steady at picking up on the odd goal and assist but shouldn’t be 1st line territory. Not a bad player, but in a team full of ‘not bad’ players.

You'd have thought Panthers fans would be wise to a high draft pick rarely translating to high scoring in the EIHL, given some of the unimpressive drafted players that have stepped onto the ice for Neilson over the years. This said, I've been quite happy with Phillips' performance, especially so compared to some of his teammates. He seems to quietly get on with playing solid, non-flashy, hockey.

Big CV as in first round draft pick, 3 full seasons with good points totals in the A, decent season in Sweden last year. Better on paper than most, if not all, considering Panthers have no skaters with any NHL experience this year. If you think taking until league game 11 to score your first goal is "a promising start", then we'll have to disagree.

Bounced around all over the place, a 1st round draft who never made it, just ike that other 1st round “star” we had recently Logan Macmillan. Very average points totals,a horrible plus/minus of -73 in the AHL. And his rep says needs to improve his skating etc. Mmmm....shouldn’t even be anywhere near a Panthers top line !

Wouldnt be a forward on team that doesnt enjoy playing with phillips. Puts the puck on somebodys stick typically 4-6 times in great scoring position. Overly generous at times. Probably half of his team leading assist total of 20 could have been goals had he shot the puck instead Manages puck extremely well, gets the puck deep at their blue line in our end gets puck out when he gets it on the wall--will step into the lanes when necessary. He is a cerebal player not a guy that will bring you out of your seats but is a guy that is a coaches dream--dependable and reliable and clutch. Playing in a new position in a new league and a new country my opinion is he has been very good.
