What grinds my gears more is how these announcers give no credit to the panthers for good play

Down 4-2 and we get a pp. And Chamberlain is your choice! Maybe I am missing something.

Might have been the only one with legs left, players tend not to get as tired when they skate to the bench everytime the puck leaves the offence zone. He does have an eye for the goal however, proven scorer in the lower league, not that you'd know it from what he's shown in the series so far! |

Get guys like Betteridge and Hook on if you want workhorses, just double shift some of the top 2 liners if you want more potency. Only thing would be if he was sent out to maybe ruffle some feathers after Lake's digs at the end of the last game. Clearly though he did nothing of the sort. One thing that struck me was Storm's willingness to lay the body in the 2nd and 3rd. They would finish every check, while Panthers had next to no response. Perhaps Tim is saving it for playoffs, but it's the biggest gap in their play for me this series. |

Found that a pretty dull game to be honest, Panthers were lethargic and apart from a few individual efforts, failed to take it up a gear to match the Storm. Ben Bowns did well to keep the scoreline to 4-2.
Dineen is a frustrating player, point-a-game captain at Lillehammer, yet mostly invisible in the this series. He had a fantastic goal last game against the Storm where he nearly took Bonar's head off, but I don't think I can remember anything else he's done.

Can't break up Perlini line. Putting Cangelosi with 27 and 92 is like putting snow tires on a Lamborghini This is another problem. We need at least 2 lines contributing to the scoring, but we can only activate one. Johno May and Dineen have been big disappointments and we can't seem to get what's required out of them. Again, maybe they can turn it on when required, plenty of hockey players like that. Although it's very much hope rather than expectation. |

We’ve watched every game here and so far it’s been more about the coaches than the players I think. May has been a big disappointment for me so far so I fully expect to see him in a Panthers shirt next season.

"...and its welcome back to another returning face, Johno May, who has unfinished business in a panthers shirt after last seasons disappointing series..."  |

Been a problem at Panthers for years, poor recruitment during the summer , then mid season they have made a bunch of changes to try and correct their mistakes...
Not watched one but from what I hear .. the two who I'd sign would be Domingue and Boivin as long as they are cheap

I dont think the quality has been to bad during this series, but they wont find points production this easy in a usual EIHL season. |

Boivin is on a 9 game scoring streak, and Domingue has points in 8 of 10 games. Those 2 have been on the ice together for 16 of Panthers' 28 goals. Not sure I'd call that "hot and cold", more like "we truly would have been knackered without them".
Prior to the Elite Series, they had 11 pro games and 2 pro assists between them.
May and Dineen are seasoned pros, in plenty good enough leagues, with at times excellent point production. I've no idea why they're not firing, but they're not. Surely Wallace has to think about splitting them up and potentially freeing up Cangelosi, who must be frustrated just now, since game 5 he only has 2 even strength points. May only has 2 +s the entire series, Dineen 3, both are currently -6.
Maybe I'm wrong, but seems to me that the 27/88/92 line is doing no-one any favours currently.

They've been excellent. Plenty good enough for the "real" EIHL. |

I just fear Panthers putting to much expectation on them. Get them cheap and expect them to be the go to top line. |

Quite a game this evening by the look of things, Blaze almost got all the way back.

Am I right in thinking that the team has played in FOUR coloured jerseys thus far? Black, White and two Gold coloured designs? I saw a picture the other day of us in a yellow/Gold that looked similar to the Black and White versions yet a Gold with a different marking on I swear I saw too. Any ideas, I have no stream to check. EDIT: Apologies I think I have it wrong. It has been a Gold and Black that are very similar and the WHITE is the one with a different sleeve type design that threw me.  |
