Give it a rest would you. It's getting rather tiresome.

Not much relevant to say, so a bit of trolling to pass the time. If you’ve got nothing interesting to say…

And the scores 2-2 and the Panthers did say “the boys were excited to put a show on”. So seeing as I’m not there or watching it was actually a reasonable question. |

It would have possibly been “reasonable” had you not added the laughing faces. As it is, question answered. Yes. |

First period was utter trash, there were times we looked like playing a different sport yet rousing rounds of applause were still ongoing in the crowd.
However after the first, Storm looked bereft of ideas and we just chugged along to get the job done. I feel 5-2 did flatter us a bit though.
For as much as it’s nice to win it’s so very disheartening that our true competitive level these days is against the like of Storm.

Good come back after a very average 1st period.
The current lines are rather strange atm, what’s going off with KD he’s a goal scorer and currently playing on the 4th line, if he not fit why are we playing him?
Can’t wait for this season to be over!!

A much needed win after two very poor results. It was another tough watch though I’m afraid.
The 1st period was absolutely dreadful, in the 2nd the fans woke up after a poor call from Perring and that seemed to spark the team. Nice to see Carozza grab two more goals, he’s starting to show what he’s capable of.
It would be nice to see us absolutely hammer a team at least once this season, we’ve had plenty go the other way. Not many highlights from this season unfortunately.

It would have been interesting to see waht Carozza would have been like if he wasn't injured for that long time.
It was also nice to have a Goal Mouth Scramble actually produce a Goal

As the season approaches it's end who would be worth keeping? Not seen any games so clueless as regards individuals.

Probably that would it, there are a lot better out there (but depends on whether the club will pay for it) Brits Betteridge Tetlow Kelsall Hopkins and Clarke-Pizzo haven't played enough to form a decent opinion If Kerlin has aby sense he will go elsewhere that'll guarantee him ice time, or if he re-signs then get a clause in that he starts so many games (it has been done before). |

Two players who haven’t had a decent spell of games this season are Carozza and Domingue, so I think it’s unfair to comment on them as it stands.
From the imports we already know that Welsh is staying (which is good imo), then I’d like us to keep hold of Boivin, Brassard and also Norrish.
There’s still a hell of a lot of unknowns in regards to next season though.
Firstly, is Doucet remaining as DoH? What is happening with the structure of the club? Are we still looking for a coach?
What is the game day roster size going to be? (That dictates how many Brits you need).

Pretty much somes it up. Individually some other players are ok if asked to do a role that'd suit them, but every one of them is upgradable at this level. I've said before that I wouldn't be upset to see a clear out. Equally keeping a few of these forwards to make up the 3rd line wouldn't be the worst idea either. More than anything this teams needs an entire top line, forward and D. It needs a big, no nonsense, nose bleed if he crosses the centre line type Dman. Then it needs a power forward/enforcer. Oh, and a goalie capable of bringing it every night. To get those things means at least 8 new imports. Some of the guys on the current roster have just been made to look worse than they are because of being expected to do roles they arn't good enough for. Boivin is a prime example. A good little player, somebody who could well be a Francis or Galivan type on the 3rd line. A top line player he deffinaitly is not. |

The problem is panthers will only be signing a roster of bottom 6 forwards next year due to having their budget cut further... So I doubt things will be much better they'll be certain posters who will be enraged by this post and don't want to see it but that's what will happen, and who honestly wants to experience another year of Doucet being 'DOH' ?

I know what you’re saying Pidge but there’s no reason why this should be the case, even with the big decline in attendances this season we’ve got higher average attendances than Belfast and Cardiff. Black has got to see the bigger picture next season though, he needs to get the off-ice team sorted and invest in some quality players, give the fans a team that challenges. If he does that then fans will return. Take less money out of the club now and he will make more going forward. |

Yes totally agree and I get that we know he needs to spend and spend big next year to get the crowds back but he just doesn't care .. we may have bigger crowds than Cardiff but they have owners who will go that extra yard and are hockey fans and will demand a winning team . The season is gone it has been for months so Panthers should be getting a structure in place for next year.. but are they I just don't see it |

If he does that then fans will return. Take less money out of the club now and he will make more going forward. The trouble is you could pretty much say Neil Black should have done exactly what you suggest in every one of the last half dozen or so years,but he just doesn’t do it. If anything it would seem the spending has gone down and now with the cap in place he seems to have taken that as an excuse to drop spending even further. He has his seemingly rigid formula and doesn’t either want to bend it or he simply doesn’t care. I’ve said it before many times,that for a supposedly savvy businessman he doesn’t seem to believe in speculating to accumulate. There are ways round the cap if you want it,there is more than enough hard cash sloshing around at the bigger EIHL teams in order to stuff a few brown envelopes. |

Is NB more interested in Glasgow than Nottingham? I think the answer to that is yes. Will / should he sell to concentrate and let someone who is willing and wanting to take the club forwards and upwards. Should, absolutely, Will I very much doubt it, it is making money for him (and the bermuda boyz), People will still buy season tickets, shirts, etc, etc. If the revenue in goes down, cut the budget, still going to make something.
Who can make him sell? probably the other league owners but as he is in cahoots (businesswise) with Kelman and Smith they probably wont happen either.

Think you might find NB’s focus shifts even more towards Glasgow too now he’s running the arena. One only has to look at the return of Masters Football. If I still had a Panthers season ticket I’d be very very wary of renewing it next year ! |
