Can I just point out, it's nice to actually see and be involved in some reasonable debate and posts. It's not very often that threads aren't full of bickering and personal insults.

Rubbish. Olsen did all he could to avoid the Dundee player who fell over in front of him. Just watched the slow-mo video and you are right it wasnt even a minor. I’ve just seen that slow mo video too and you’re correct. How the ref saw that even as a penalty never mind a 5+game is just ridiculous,Olsen doesn’t even move his legs he just coasts towards the boards. That ref needs suspending or sending back to ref school.

The league has come on a lot in the last couple of years and the officiating needs to keep up with that.

Easily sorted. If Guptill was just a healthy scratch and is still a Panthers player, the club can come out and say so, saving a lot of hand wringing and upset. Why should they say so? This is between the coach and the team. They don't have to say anything, especially since this all started as an unfounded rumour.

Lesson learned Mr Black...tell Gary no more 3 in 3 road trips. Oh wait,there’s another one coming in about 3 months time ! 🙄 I’d agree with you if we won our first two matches and lost the third.... but we lost the first two, and surprisingly won the third...

I cannot recall the officiating being worse than it is now. The call on Olson tonight was laughable, how far away was the idiot who called it kneeing?

We are not customers, we are fans, we invest time, money and emotion in this club. Why would it be wrong to dispel a rumour?

Rich wad sending a message clearly. Henderson was hurt that's why we were short. I like the fact Rich isn't frightened to make tough decisions I.e. dropping our top goal scorer

....and I was just about to throw in the mix of Guptil injured and Henderson gone, to freshen up the debate.....

I don't see why they have to respond to every rumour fans come up with. Maybe because Guptill is our top goalscorer and as such is seen as important by a lot of fans.

So they respond to this rumour. What happens when the next rumour is made up about another key player? Should they respond to that as well? And then any other rumour that is made up? If they respond to 1 rumour but ignore another rumour that will lead to people assuming the latter is true, even though there is no basis whatsoever. It's a no-win situation. Either respond to none or respond to all. It's easier and safer to respond to none.

Expecting the Panthers org, that couldn't really give a stuff about it's fans, to reply to a post on the fans forum that they also couldn't give a stuff about. Come on man, get with the programme. We're nothing to those in charge.

This is where we're missing any sort of press interest, to ask questions about decisions like that. The club won't volunteer the information, and would have no reason to in fairness.

The guy was walking round in in Panthers tracksuit so he hasnt gone . Hope so. Would fit much better. Coach making a point and looking for a reaction. I tell you what, if Guptill reacts positively he will be some player considering how good he is going forward as it is. I have seen a few others across social media have picked up on the rumour from being at the game. Perhaps looking like a case of one person putting 2&2 together whilst up there and it spreading a bit further.
