A lot of Green eyes on this thread... We should have a better roster on paper than Cardiff. We don’t, that’s not their fault or the Cardiff fans fault. Lets throw it all out there Hockey isn’t won on paper We have no idea on respective budgets What I do know is Coach has been around European hockey a long time and seems to have got a team that he wants to play his style not a team that looks good in paper. So let’s see how things go before we take a good pop at the panthers. Maybe he has some budget left and has signed the guys he wants rather than what costs the most money

Panthers played good hockey in the 1st they could have had another couple of goals but for Murdy who for my money was Devils best player. scrappy 2nd, for me Devils seemed to go up a gear in the 3rd and with Gospel in net was thinking maybe 6-4 to Devils, Panthers stuck to the task and with a bit of luck scored late on to force overtime or not in this case

We should have the best looking roster and we should have a much better EIHL record than we have. If you don’t agree then fair enough. Were all allowed an opinion (except for Iginla) aren’t we?

Oh you mean a joke remark about their back up goalie being a CEO when he retires? And that means I’m envious LOL Fair enough. You’re not remotely jealous of Cardiff’s 2 league titles in the last 2 years whilst watching us with 5500 fellow contributors? I’m very jealous of them. But I’m more frustrated than jealous,because Panthers could so easily be top dog if they wanted it enough !

My my aren't we all a feisty bunch today. The hockey is well and truly back.... As well as Muddy played is he the best back up in the league? How can such a judgement be made after viewing one game. A 'friendly' at that. Murdy may well be the best back up but I think it could be justifiably argued that the Belfast pairing is superior.. whoever the backup proves to be (if they both stay injury free)

Were all allowed an opinion (except for Iginla) aren’t we? Rob, at no point have I said people aren’t allowed an opinion. In fact, has iginla not shared his opinions since? Has any mod jumped all over his posts? The issue was the incessant posting on every thread of the same thing. And secondly, I was giving my opinion on this situation but because of moderation decisions I made in the past, you think were censoring people? As I said at the time, if people have an issue with the groups decision, contact any of us via DM. The conversation won’t continue on this thread.

In relation to the question, no I’m not jealous of Cardiff winning two league titles in successive seasons, but as Iggy says, I’m frustrated that despite what appeared to be good squads, Panthers didn’t have very good league campaigns.

Well, Josh Tetlow no longer towers over the rest of the team! It has to be said - we have some big units on the roster. And, as Rich Chernomaz said on one of the interviews, they are still nicely mobile. I don't think there are going to be many teams skating round our lads as if they were pylons. First impressions:- Olsen is a tank. But a modern main battle tank with the speed governer removed - he's no lumbering slowcoach, that's for sure! Liked his outlet passing... seems to have good vision. He could end up directing the play a lot. I swear that Hughes just wants to turn every opposing player into roadkill... I like him! Guptill looked useful, although I didn't really see what happened with his goal. For saying that he's only just arrived, Kovacs didn't look at all out of place... he also seems to be very willing to literally dive in to do what's needed. Can't fault that kind of commitment. Didn't really get much of an impression of the other new arrivals. Pither was just awesome. He is going to be a major threat this season. Garnett looked a little shaky to me to start with, but soon settled down... early days yet. And with a strong defence in front of him - who knows? Pity Sam Gospel didn't have the best of games (although that was a bit unlucky with the goal against when he came out of his crease... bad bounce off the boards?) - he needs more ice time this season. The shots on goal are telling... we did outshoot them handsomely, especially in the first period (14-5), which is very nice to see. And there was a lot more activity from us close to the opposition crease - much more than last season. Good... we can't simply rely on the long-range shots. I can't see this team being bullied, nor simply muscled off the puck... in fact, we could well be doing most of said muscling. They're all a bit rusty, but there was still a lot of good puck possession work out there. And hits... lots and lots of good, hard, clean hits. Oh, yes please... Cardiff may have been missing some key players, but they also have the advantage of a largely settled roster. What we saw last night was, I think, an indication of what this team will be rather than close to its full potential. Which could easily mean that the idea of Cardiff simply dominating the league this season might be a little premature... For me, can you say what the 2nd (assume 7 from what someone said) and third period shots on us was? The only detail I am missing.ta.

Appreciate that, got that line up sorted now (pims and scorers and net minder detail) but any assist on last goal for us? Going to have to get the same from game away in Cardiff if people can help. Im going to Cardiff tonight so ill get my lad to jot down as much as he can Love fans who try and help, cheers. Line up on bench, goals and assists and Pims given SOG on us per period (if netmen changed mention when? -If you can do all that I'm a fan of your son forever, lol

Lol 😂 If we were given the line up at least I wouldn't have to ask. But they offered and it's appreciated.Nottingham stats only of course. eg) Pither mentioned on social media as scorer, no assist info....no mention of Pims as yet.Then I'd only be asking for change of Netminders times and SOG. So glad I only have to ask all this in these non domestic games. Any feedback apprciated. So get working Iginla.

We have the biggest income and the biggest profit. We should have the best looking roster and we should have a much better EIHL record than we have. If you don’t agree then fair enough. Were all allowed an opinion (except for Iginla) aren’t we? My thoughts for about 10 years basically 😏

Were all allowed an opinion (except for Iginla) aren’t we? One consideration, where Cardiff have an advantage is that they own the stadium. Therefore all off ice refreshments profit goes to them, as opposed to the Nottingham Arena. Certainly the league record of Panthers is a huge cause for concern, which one hopes will be better this season.

Dear Calum, The current twitter updates for non domestic games are rubbish and severely lacking in detail,please address this issue in order to keep up the good work concerning the ever improving Panthers social media output. You have improved things immensely over the last year,however our Cage stats man Spik is currently struggling to keep accurate records due to lack of detail. Scorers,assists,shots on goal,goalie changes,times and starting lines are required please. Thank you Iggy
