Live on premier sports!
Should be interesting after Belfast had a mare in Manchester, being blanked by the Storm.
Tough weekend this for Panthers, a 4 point weekend would feel like 8!

This will be a tough game. Giants look like they’ve got some cracking forwards, Boucher looks to be their best player, very quick and looks like he can beat players with ease, we’ll have to be on the ball to deal with him. Hopefully we have Stevie back to take some of the ice time/load away from the other defence-men. I’d be ecstatic if we could pick up a win.

They seem to be conceding plenty though, could be a few goals in it (cue 1-0 after penalty shots).

1-2 on the road in the league, yet to score a PP goal in 9 attempts (EIHL Stats), haven't scored a goal at the NIC with their netminder in net since 10 Feb 2019.
5 of their 7 goals in those 3 games scored in the third.
Boucher has 1 assist in 3 league games, Conway looks the actual danger man for me, on current league form. That line with Conway and Piccinich has been scoring for fun the Cup.
Those present can witness "The best ever in the EIHL" Griffin Reinhart, too.

Giants don't seem as compact a team as I'd expected, we can definitely score on them.

Weekend looking a bit tougher.
Steve Lee and Carozza added to the injured reserve.
PS, they got the dates the wrong way round and yes, it's already been added to the howlers thread.

Giants lead after 29 seconds. Dodgy bounce of the backboard leaves a Giant with an open net.

Giants lead 2-0 after 6 minutes
But on a positive note, Storm currently lead Steelers by the same margin: their new 14th import getting the first
Come on Panthers!
Short bench costing us?

Bit early to say whether a short bench is hurting us. What is clear is how dangerous the Giants look. 2-0 is the least they deserve, out shooting Panthers 15-8 in the first. Plus they could have had another couple with pucks lying loose in the crease. Panthers had 1 threatening passage but never had any clear cut chances in it.

I could actually leave this game close to the half way point.

Unfamiliar lines etc. No signs of errors creeping in? (I'm following online tonight so any insights gratefully received). Yes they've definitely shown they've got the goals in the squad so far this year. Was disappointed that with the family connections we have Conway went to Giants in the off-season. But with Pearls off to Norway and the Giants set up it certainly makes perfect sense from his side. 4-0 Giants definitely showing they're dangerous |

Turns out being short benched against the best team in the league isn't a good idea. Who knew?

Is it any consolation that when Sheffield score Manchester come right back. 25 and 44 seconds scoring after goals by stealers.
Some relief almost but I fear Sheffield’s come back will materialise before ours.

Giants only have 1 skater more. It's not a difference in fitness, it's speed and ability. They look a class above. |

The 1st Goal should have really have given us a clue on how this game was going to go
Every team is going to have that dreadful game. Hopefully it's not a forewarning on future games.
Can't go on with 5D, so if Lee is out for longer, then bringing in someone is a must.
Wonder if we'll see Kerlin, save Carr for tomorrow
