I’m not going to say anything. The last time I said I didn’t think this squad was strong enough I was accused of being a keyboard warrior who didn’t understand pre season hockey. I’ve been following this team since 1983 but that obviously means nothing in terms of being able to comment on what I see.

Disgusting penalty in Kelsall, how can you get two mins for being punched…. That said this team is not great…. Not much going on up front..

Too right .. blacky will be getting his wallet out for that 14th import if this carries on...both goals scored by a grinder.. where's the top names..

This roster isn’t on par with Belfast or a Sheffield tbh, so whist it’s a shame to see them loose to a team like the Blaze it’s not a surprise.

No easy games in this league and spending extended periods 3 on 5 isn’t going to do you any good. At least Brust let in a hatful. Oh, hang on…

We gifted them goals 2 and 3
I thought that the shooting problems would have been sorted, I was wrong. Definitely need a new Forward.
If that was a Penalty on Kelsall, then the League is in trouble. Robbed us a chance of a 5 on 3, like it would have mattered.
Whilst I have a strong suspicion of what happened but after they scored on a 5 on 3 (Their 4th goal) why did it stay 5 on 3. I thought that Tetlow would have been out of the Box?

Suoranta took 2+2 for high sticks at 38:41, so when they scored at 40:30 it'll have cancelled out his first, leaving his second and Tetlow's on the board.

Still goal shy. You won't win many games only scoring 2 goals.
Bad miscommunication between Carr and Lee to gift then the 3rd from absolutely nothing.
Also a very naive play from Tetlow to kill the game. A very silly penalty to take, Motte (and every other goalie in hockey) is looking for contact there and is always going to go flying if you make it. Plus the officials will never struggle to give that. Panthers concede 2 on the resulting 5 on 3. While I think you could have called the Blaze player skating across him straight after could have been called interference, it's much more marginal.
The call on Kelsall though was gutless officiating. Should have been a 5 on 3 and while we probably wouldn't have done anything with it, the refs bottled it badly.

Can't add much more,lots of effort but lacking the killer touch in front of goal.
Blaze looked solid and had that extra edge in terms of physicality which we badly lack.
Tetlow stupid penalty on Motte..if we had 4 lines he would probably have been benched.
The Kelsall penalty was a joke

There seemed to be little progress in terms of shooting and passing. Far too many blind passes, which were easily picked off by Blaze. Fair do's to Blaze, they looked solid. Any one know how bad the Corozza injury is, given that he was scratched this evening?

Website said "niggle" for Carozza beforehand, sounded like a gameday decision so wouldn't expect anything long term.

How would we know the panthers are cryptic regarding everything important apart from bloody shirt sales/auctions etc Never give team news prior to a game either

A bad result tonight, there are no guarantees in this league now but you need to be winning home games if you’re going to even challenge for the title. We showed some naivety tonight and put ourselves in a position where you don’t want to be against the Blaze, they are superb on the powerplay. They did get some good fortune but they were clinical on the other occasions. As others have said, we are shy in front of the net and we lack an intimidating presence on the ice. I thought Doherty was going to provide a bit of that but he doesn’t seem interested in fulfilling that role.
There are some good signs in this team but I think it’s vital that we bring in that 14th import.
To end on a positive note I thought the crowd were behind the team until the end and it was also nice to see Tousignant get a couple of goals, hopefully he can continue to chip in.

Not overly worried as Wallace teams seem to catch fire after a slowish start to the campaign. Norrish and Lane are obviously a cut above, Carr I’m not convinced and our Brits with the exception of Betteridge and Myers are just pants. Any team with Lee and Tetlow in the same squad is just playing Russian Roulette. Happy to give Wallace a few games as his teams seem to grow and grow as games build and fingers crossed this one will too.
Watched a Blaze webcast a few weeks back and apart from a few brief lapses they have an excellent defence, good netminder and goals too.
The officials were just gutless, incompetent and shouldn’t be anywhere near a paying audience. Not usually one to bash officiating normally (especially after trips north of the border) but some calls last night just defied belief and common decency.
Not 100% convinced with our current direction but happy for Wallace to make them gel and work. Can’t wait to see how we are going to handle Belfast…
