See this as a tight, closely contested confrontation. If both sides are at full strength then I go with Panthers to edge home 3-2. Will be an education for the players new to the UK and Coach Graham to experience The SkyDome with something approaching a capacity crowd. Think we have "the grapes" to match anything that Blaze can produce.

Just for information, for those who didn’t come pre-season, the car park under the ring road is no longer there, they are laying a road straight through it, so there’s 2 real options for parking. 1. Drive around the SkyDome road and the car park on the left is still there but it can take an hour to get out after the game citycentre.apcoa.co.uk/carpark/Coventry/skydome/32832. Belgrade NCP a bit of a walk but quicker exiting www.belgradeplaza.co.uk/park/tariff/Hope this helps Enjoy the game Wagstaff |

Caruso still out, so Archie plays again.
Berry in goal instead of Dubeau.

I dont like it. As I say though, it's early season so fair play if he wants to give them both a go. Although Berry would want the 2nd one back tonight. |

Pretty much identical to last night so far. Dominated for the first 10 minutes and we looked all over the place. We have since grown into the game and started to create some chances, but we continue to give up good chances at the back end.

Once again getting out worked physically in their zone, struggling to get out our zone when they put pressure on us and a lot of cycling the puck without creating/ finding open space. Looking a lot like a Doucet/Wallace team.

Looking a lot like a Doucet/Wallace team. I do get that everyone is desperate to be positive. I certainly want to be and I was early doors after GGs interviews and early signings. I think all the off ice improvements, which I believe are 100% miles ahead of before and that desperation for it to work has blinded/blinkered some to the short comings this squad appears to have. |

After watching pre season games and these two games (well so far in this game) it is blatantly obvious what our problems are. |

Still very much following last nights patern. Panthers much better in the 2nd.
Thats now 5 consecutive periods for Panthers without a penalty being called on either team.

Probably deserved the points tonight overall. The poor start really cost us.
After those 2 performances 2 points is a fair return.

Lose 2-1. Deserved something out of that game but didn’t get it, the passing was very sloppy from us and that let us down most of all imo. Berry played well but will probably want the 2nd one back, however the team didn’t help with the d-zone coverage on that one. No powerplays for us again.

Bossed the majority of the last 30 minutes, plenty of chances plus hitting the iron twice.
We need to find a way to get Ferrara firing at even strength as its seems refs are keeping their whistles in their pocket bases on this weekend.

Very disappointed with him so far 1 thing I'll say is we've struggled to get it to him in the spots we need to. I do wonder if we need to change up his linemates to try and get him more space on the ice. |

so... to be clear, now the season has started proper the only team panthers beat pre season we have lost in the first week to?
Think alot of the optimism that the team are worth watching needs to be proven by the club and very quickly otherwise we may as well declare it a 2 horse race now and save the money for energy bills..

Maybe give it a few more games before declaring it a write off?
I'm hopeful that Pach and GG will be a bit quicker to try and correct any issues with the roster than we're used to.
