I'll be there, Friday night so a bite to eat at Altrincham Market beforehand, maybe a swift half in The Drawing Room. So that's the good bit..

2-0 Storm after one. Panthers bright for the first five minutes but little to offer after that. Daft penalty from Baillargeon for the first goal, taking a holding call in the offensive zone. Brady left all alone to tap in number two.
We continue to shoot from the point, with familiar results.
My food was nice though.

The predictions say it all really. Fans have lost faith.
The ‘in-game’ comments show how we feel the players are not interested.
Plenty of time yet but what for?

Dreadful hockey on display, this rink is an absolute joke.

2-3 Storm, another massive deflection off a Panthers player in front.

Well there was hope after pulling back to 2-2, Betteridge buried a loose puck after Thow’s shot from, you guessed it, the point fell kindly and then after Carr had kept Panthers in touch Carozza collected a pass from Baillargeon and squeezed one through Bachah.. Bahach… the Storm netminder.
Boivin tipped just over at the beginning of the third when well placed in front of the net but Storm were much the better side as the period progressed. Brady found a loose puck after a couple of deflections to net the game winner, VanWormer added the insurance goal.
The VanWormer goal is worth looking out for to see the single worst play I have ever seen in however many long years of watching the Panthers. With Storm in possession in the offensive zone, Hedberg goes flying up the ice as if he was looking for a breakaway pass, leaving VanWormer with the freedom of the slot to finish past Carr. I have absolutely no idea what Hedberg thought he saw, but from an experienced player it was just abysmal.
Norrish’s hit from behind drew a scrum and a 5+game, but there was never any real hope of a comeback.
I don’t post much because work doesn’t allow me to get to many games but I’d like to think I’m fairly even handed when I do, maybe slightly on the side of optimistic so I’m not saying this next sentence lightly.
This is the worst Panthers team I have seen.

Manchester isn’t an easy place to go but we are just lacking in so many areas, it’s a real struggle to enjoy watching any game we’re involved in.
Just to depress myself a little bit more I thought I’d have a look and see where our current points percentage ranks amongst all of our seasons in the EIHL. We’re currently on course for our worst points percentage in any EIHL season. I know there’s a lot of hockey left to play but I don’t see it improving with the team we have.
I know we’ve had poor teams before and we’ve been let down previously in the league, but there’s always been some hope that we might have some success in the cup or playoffs. I don’t think ours fans even have that to cling to this season.

Out of interest, how many seasons have we been .700 or better? 3 occasions, 08/09 - 0.722, 11/12 - 0.741, and, of course, 12/13 - 0.817 |

Only plus I can give is that Matt Myers achieved his 250th assist tonight for Nottingham.

It reminds me a little bit of the Blaisdell side after Tessier left mid-season, one-paced, nobody providing any inspiration.
Usually around this time of the season we're talking about which imports we'd like to return next season, but I genuinely would not be bothered if none of our overseas contingent returned next season.

Just Brassard possibly but Doucet has to be first out of the door. |

Big clear out needed, starting at the top. The Panthers organisation is being run like a pub team.

Our own Mr Bullard on comms for Manchester? |
