Ideally having had 8 home games and only 1 away game this far, we should have some points in the bag ahead of an awkward weekend. Unfortunately we travel on the back foot, looking poor in the table and on the ice.
Safe travels for any hardy souls travelling. Not sure I'd be feeling very positive about the trip right about now.

It’s going to be interesting to see how we do away from home. Glasgow played the Flyers last night so hopefully their short turnaround will benefit us in some way😂

You could be right, there’s certainly a lot riding on this weekend. Has there been any update on Lee’s return? We could do with him back for this weekend really. |

Not been an update on anybody has there. About the only news things on Panthers website lately has been season passes,charity stuff,raffles and flogging different flipping jerseys. About time they actually came up with something remotely interesting ! |

Absolutely nothing on there at all except for Wallace looking (or sounding) increasingly worried |

On a serious note, the design feels very poor. I feel like you could build something better on square space for £30.  |

I said that from day one when they appointed Doucet. Don’t know what they pay him but that money would be far better spent upping player wages. |

I said that from day one when they appointed Doucet. Don’t know what they pay him but that money would be far better spent upping player wages. The structure is right in my eyes, there should be somebody above the coach with playing/coaching experience to work with and assist the current head coach. Todd Kelman in Cardiff, Steve Thornton in Belfast for example. They have acquired the general manager role at their clubs though. Obviously Moran is our general manager, he shouldn’t have any control in the on-ice decisions as that is left to Doucet, we’re looking for a new employee to increase ticket sales, so what does Moran’s role as general manager really entail now? As long as Doucet is here Moran isn’t involved in player recruitment, does that make Doucet’s wage worthwhile to you? |

If we end up mid-table at the end of the season then no it's been a failure |

Who would come and take over at a second rate ice-hockey club? |

I have a feeling that GM is slowly winding down. with a structure being put in place. If true, I'm all for it. |

On to the game. Matheson returns and it looks as though Wallace has mixed the forwards lines up for tonight.
We’re setting up with:
Boivin - Welsh - Jokinen
Lane - Tousignant - Baillargeon
Suoranta - Myers - Betteridge
Clarke-Pizzo - - Kelsall
We should certainly win a lot of face-offs tonight with those three at centre. Interesting that Jokinen has moved onto the 1st line, hopefully he can help create some goals. We shall see.

Looks like a fair amount of Panthers fans have made the trip up to Scotland to support the team.
Hopefully the boys can come away with at least some points.
Have to say though I've never seen so many fans with game worn tops as tonight.
Once they were a rarity... now it seems they are ten a penny...

Make sure you look out for Iginla over the next few days and send respects from The Cage..... |
