no new injuries, still without Lee & Carozza who inches closer to a return. Inches is the right word for it.

I’m sure I saw a Twitter video a couple of weeks back showing Carozza on the ice, but the club noted it was without contact. I thought he might have been ready by now. Looks like we’re going to be remaining short and not replacing Doherty as well. |

But the fact that Carozza has only played FIVE out of thirty three games all season seems to have been ignored in the replacement stakes ! 🙄 Pretty poor show really. |

We started the season with 13 imports and 6 senior brits, so technically when Lee and Carozza return we are going to have to sit somebody out, and it can be either a brit or an import. Right now we’re only 1 player short from our lineup, however, the fact that it is a dman is critical. Running with 5 dmen will catch up with us. |

They may have used Thow as Carozza’s IR but really he was the 14th import as they originally only went with 13. There can’t be many games Panthers have played with a full quota of 14 imports,despite them knowing Carozza and Domingue plus Lee were all going to be out for yonks. |

Well I would have thought it’s pretty obvious if they’re ever all fit at the same time. You sit out Kelsall. |

More misery to be inflicted by Belfast then😂 I’m sure Blacky was banking on there being a home semi-final to give as one of the owed games from the 19/20 season. That’s not going to happen now. |

They’ll be sharing the one legged gate receipts between the two teams. Come on.....There is no way teams agreed to give up a home leg and replace it with just away travel cost. Especially a trip to Belfast ! |

At least they can paste us in a one off game in Belfast and we dont have to suffer an extra viewing of it at home. |

So Guildford won a game at last, and yet still found a way to lose at the same time.

I was thinking more for the fact that he’s now going to have to refund the season ticket holders from the 19/20 season for one game, I believe we were owed 5 from 19/20. This years season ticket covers 25 league games, the other 2 home league games are part of the 5 owed, the cup quarter final was another owed and they are giving the play-off quarter final (if we get there) as another owed. 1 game left but no more to replace it with. |

You havent watched any games have you, and twitter doesn't show you how players have performed, nor does any you tube highlights. There are a lot of others who should be sat out before Kelsall; Myers for one, who, considering all his experience has, imo, beem poor on the whole. I wonder if he is here because he wants to be or because he couldn't get a place elsewhere? |

The answer is two. 11 and 12 December. 8 games have been played with 13 imports. Panthers have played 14 competitive games with the maximum 17 skaters. Average league skating roster is 16.17, 16.44 in the Cup. |

This fecking league, honestly. Bunch of cretins. |

It does make you wonder, doesn't it? It's not always the case though. Flames and Clan were in the semis in 2019, Flames made it to the final. To be fair, there were only 36 qualifying games. It did feel like over 1,000 though. |

The Danish league has a cracking set up for an early season competition.
It's a nine team league and every teams first 16 games of the season ensure everyone plays everybody else home and away. These league games double up as a cup competition, so at the end of 16 games the top 4 teams progress to a playoff style weekend on a designated weekend just after Christmas ( the league then carries on as we do)
At this final 4 weekend there are 2 semi finals then a final on the Sunday.To make it all worthwhile the winner of this competition is Denmarks entry into the Continental Cup.
Brilliantly simple idea but it obviously takes a bit of fixture organising which is why the EIHL will never implement it.

It's blindingly obvious. |

Just a wild guess but maybe they have people in charge who know what they are doing and not just out to money grab at every opportunity? |

I'm sure its been done before to use league games in order to 'set' ready for another competition. Even if only to make ready a format for all clubs to compete.
As long as its not a multitude of games for some and not others.
But this is the thing, whilst we obviously need to have every club gain x amount of income. Not all clubs will succeed in competition and so after x amount of games is had by all, some teams will fair better wand have extra games in a season.
Elite can't seem to be able to make arrangement of a competition with these two factors in play.
