Was there a time limit on this interview.Quick fired and volley back. Had to get the questions in while they could remember they played tonight... I wouldn’t be able to answer anything from what I saw now!

We need to turn The NIC into a fortress. Lets make teams not want to play us Never going to happen. The Panthers management (and much of the support) are too 'beige'. Can you imagine all those season ticket holders sat there in their hand-knitted jerseys doing Sudoku during games wanting to try and create a hostile atmosphere? Now if you'd said "let's start throwing chocolate to the players again" I'm sure they'd be all over it. Its embarrassing how staid the Panthers fanbase can be the majority of the time

I reckon tonight's game was the dullest atmosphere I've ever witnessed at a hockey game anywhere in the 18 years I've been watching the sport. Shocking how 5500 people can be so quiet.

To be fair it was the dullest game I have seen in years so it’s hardly surprising that it had the atmosphere of a dentist waiting room. I spent over two hours wondering where the CHL team went (again).

If i hadn't given somebody a lift to the game,i would gave done at the end of the 2nd.😩

I thought Lee played well too Great hit in the first period, rolled back the years a bit. Yep & I had to have a double take as to which Panther it actually was who threw the hit. I genuinely thought he had a good game & fair play to him.

The game must have been very dull because even my wife and son came back saying they were done with the team for this season. I gave up on it several games ago. Ever the optimists no doubt they’ll be back at the start of next season.

Well, for the people on here who are posting how disillusioned they are, the crowds are still big and the shirt auction pulled in a single bid of £960 i belive for Mokshantsevs jersey. I'll assume the rest went for normal auction prices so how we ever get things to change i have no bloody idea

I was somewhat disappointed with the game last night. We controlled it from start to finish, yet only managed to put 3 past Fullerton. No disrespect to Fullerton or the Stars but we should be looking to put double past them, at least. Perfect opportunity to run up a big score, get the blood and confidence flowing. Imagine if Stars had've gotten a goal, they'd have been buzzing and I genuinely think we would've struggled, should that have happened.
We seemed to play more physical against them then we have against anyone else for a long time.. we've got a bigger bench, they've travelled a long way so whilst I was pleased to see us play so physically, we don't we do it against the bigger teams who have less distance to travel, games where it would be more welcomed?
Tetlow and Hazeldine should've had a shift or two, but no.
I'm somewhat with the masses in writing off the season and being beyond caring too much for how we do from now onwards, till the end of the season. But I won't stop going. If we win, good, if we lose, oh well. I enjoy watching hockey so I'm not going to sacrifice watching it because the club is becoming more and more unappealing.

I’ve had a lot of spare time to have given this a lot of thought over the last few months (mainly Saturday nights, Sunday evenings and Wednesday nights) and I am coming to the conclusion that the team we have been watching is the Panthers playing at their natural level. I think we massively over achieved during the CHL but even a lot of the early league wins were scraped by in overtime. It’s not going to be popular amongst those with black and gold glasses but I really think this is the case.

It’s not going to be popular amongst those with black and gold glasses but I really think this is the case. What amazed me was the number of fans from other clubs saying we'd walk the league after watching our CHL games on the tele. I said to the wife it was a totally different style of hockey in the league and I'd reserve judgement. When our league campaign got under way we were as you say scraping wins, 6 were in overtime or on penalty shots. We won others only by a single goal. Ever the optimist I hoped that once we clicked we'd batter teams but it never happened. After 19 league games this team was ahead of the league winning teams points total by 2 points. Of course its all been downhill since then and I don't think this team has lived up to its own potential let alone that of the 2012/13 team. But like you, I think the writing was on the wall but like most fans you hope against hope until you reach a point that realism hits.

I believe at one point towards the back of November/ early December were 2pts clear at the top but also with 4 games in hand! Pretty much even then, despite the scraped wins etc, nearly every fan base had us nailed on as runaway league winners - we looked very solid whereas everyone else was falling over each other, dropping points beneath us.. How times change though!

How times change though! It’s the scraped wins that just couldn’t carry on though. And even then back when we were superstars I still didn’t think we were in the same league as Cardiff.

I think Cardiff we’re almost as good as us in the CHL but in a couple of their early games I’m sure they let 2 or 3 goal leads slip. By the time they got their wins we had already virtually qualified. Them losing probably made us also look a bit better than we were, but they were very good and just got to grips with it a bit too late.

Pretty much spot on regarding my own feelings. Both opinions are perfectly valid. My wife and son are more of that mind too. For me it’s always been about the Panthers and only the Panthers in terms of British ice hockey. If I’m disillusioned it would just drive me crazy watching more of the same. It’s the reason I stopped buying a season ticket. I’ll just get my fix watching NHL games on tv.

I fully understand why some have elected to vote with their feet, irregardless of season tickets having been purchased, same for fans like me who have to pick & choose their fixtures due to shift work etc.
I’ll likely be at the game on 18/2. Glutton for punishment.

Well I have only done Saturday games this year and there's only 2 Saturday games after this weekend so it's practically the end of my season 😊

Yes I've only done Saturday games as well... Not been to a midweek game in years once I realised the effort put in was consistently below what would normally be put in for a weekend game.
This organisation only has itself to blame...
You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time.. But never All of the people all of the time.
Times up.

I'm thinking this place should be a heck of a lot quieter next season judging by some of the posts above.
Nice to see Sauve get a Tony Hand assist on the first goal! Hopefully Derlago will claim what is rightfully his. :-)
