I wonder what the players think to all this. I do see the effort levels from the clubs to get games on as a real positive, but imagine being a player. Phone rings at 8am, sorry boys, cancel your plans, we've now got a coach ride and a game today. It may not be top level sport but these are still pros who would expect a certain level of prep and build up to a game day. Preparing for a certain opposition, gym and training work that may be done or indeed avoided the day before a game, and perhaps most importantly, diet! I imagine players meals are vastly different depending on which days they have a game. I wonder if a few may get fed up of all this and leave. Agreed, very tough on them, as a fan I appreciate the effort from the Storm to give us a game. I’ll certainly be giving them a clap off the ice at the end of the game. They could hardly refuse could they bearing in mind Panthers agreed to play them New Years Day.

In my opinion-its good to see the clubs and league going to such lengths to get matches on. Rather than in other sports where covid, 'lengthy injury list' and fixture congestion are offered up as reasons NOT to play From that perspective its great to see, but sadly some of the stuff is already starting to spoil it. More and more teams trying to get away with ot giving refunds for moved games. Manchester away is becoming a nightmare for Panthers purchasing based on Sheffield fans having to chose 1 of 2 other games by a strict deadline. That needs sorting before they can allocate away block to panthers fans. These clubs are desperare for the money so much they are prepared to break the law to not give refunds. I guess they hope people wont pursue it with the effort involved to challenge it legally.

I’d pursue it if it were me.

Looking like the expected 2 points, I'm guessing second period is over by now, 4-1.

Nice of Ginn to throw one in his net, returning the one Thow kicked in earlier.

5 - 3 in the end.
According to the Elite League game sheet, 5 of those 8 were unassisted? That seems unusually high.
Admittedly they're probably adding on a couple of Elite League assists for each goal as I type, but still.

Good win Panthers but Manchester were awful. Slow, terrible passing and a shadow of the team we played last time

I’m also unsure if RB got a tip (before Ginn threw it in) on Mathesons shot to get the goal from him too but then again I sit at the opposite end of the ice to where that was scored.

Just listened to the interview with Wallace...he said this win feels like a loss and we aren't playing as a team.
Interesting comments after a pretty comfortable home win. It seems a lot of fans think we are playing to the best of their ability but TW obviously thinks otherwise.
Kelsall...what a goal

Slow, terrible passing and a shadow of the team we played last time Maybe the Manchester guys weren’t very impressed at having to play today (bet the Wags weren’t) and were trying to make a point. I wouldn’t be surprised with the teams getting messed around at short notice.

I wouldn’t be surprised with the teams getting messed around at short notice. They looked very much like Sheffield did at our place a few days ago. Nothing much worked for them and a lot of the time our passing was bad too. Not the same Manchester team we saw in past games this season

I thought both teams looked quite poor but as the game went on Storm were all over the place, someone said they hadn’t played since the 18th ? Lack of ice time & covid is taking it’s toll on the players they looked whacked a bit like us at the weekend.

Admittedly they're probably adding on a couple of Elite League assists for each goal as I type, but still. We are still awaiting notice of any changes (there must be some) to Panthers games played on the 11th and 12th. With all the recent cancellations, time has actually been more available to get this post game jobs done rather than the opposite. Add to that the two Sheffield games of this last week then these two Manchester games and they'll soon be in a pickle catching up. All as the last near full season we played in 2019-20. I have no trust in the stats guys at all. How can you when you have a sport smattered with statistics from a game sheet but they cant complete one properly these days. Blame cancellations/covid if you like but that surely helps these guys doing the post game checks. It may be a while before we get these , if at all now I fear?

It seems a lot of fans think we are playing to the best of their ability but TW obviously thinks otherwise. Kelsall...what a goal Was like listening to a Corey interview, it's what he didn't say that you focus on. 'Things have got to change' or ... what will happen if they don't? Wholesale changes, at this stage of the season ? Bringing in more like Thow, Jokinen, Richards ? Or does the coach feel under threat. I've got so used to the level of performance this season that last night I quite enjoyed the energy, and the goals. But we are ragged in our own end and look like conceding at any time. Lane and Boivin work really hard and deserve to have better players around them.Yes, We are four players missing but will they return as impact players or just bodies. As usual, the next game against a decent team (Belfast) will show where we are at.

Wallace sounds to me like a coach who knows his team isn’t good enough,wants to do something about it,but can’t as he hasn’t got the tools available to do it because of constraints being placed on him from above.

Then he'd better get on with making the best of what he's got.

I’m not looking forward to that Belfast game, we’ve been walloped but them twice already and that was without being short of imports…

Clan’s coach seems to be in the same boat too though,he was saying about his players “it’s my way or the highway” a while ago and they’ve kept losing since but nothings happened on their roster. I blame Neil Black not giving them the backing they need.
