You didn't see his performance on Friday then No but that’s irrelevant, my point is that Dubeau gets the criticism he has earned but then on top of it gets blamed for how shambolic our defence is I tend to agree. Overall he is average. I dont think he is any worse than Carr, probably about on parr. Both have times they really look like they have what it takes, but far to often give up soft goals. Aside Guildford I dont think there were are any outstanding netminders at the top 4 clubs until Besko came back. Whistle continues to get better of course but he isn't anything special(Yes, i'd have him here). I honestly think if you put Debeau into Cardiff, Belfast or Sheffields teams they would still be on similar points tallys to which they are now. When you have such a poor team defence in front of you, you are either going to be made to look poorer than you are, or you have to be a top nettie who can stand on his head most nights like Shane Owen. No chance i'd have him back next season of course. We absoloutly should be looking for better.

Panthers win when they play above themselves and it’s just impossible to do that every game. Dubeau’s main problem is a very shaky defence and CN took him off for a while last night as he was screaming at them and possibly needed to calm him down and even tonight he pretty much carried the defence single handed. If you don’t have a balanced team and your playmakers are not as good as they think they are then they have to give a huge commitment to compete. Apparently Dubeau had an equipment issue which was affecting his movement/ability to make a save when he was shouting at the bench - skate or pads i think. Never been a hockey player so wouldn't have a clue as to what it could have been. Though as a professional I would've thought you know how to prevent an equipment issue of that nature occurring during a game. Great performance by Dubeau last night though - 2nd period onwards anyway. Though he definitely needs to sort his 5 hole out... Why do they call it a 5 hole ? 🙈

Very good Baggy, I never knew that. 👍 Nowadays there are allegedly 7 holes, the extra two being directly under each armpit.

What have I missed lately? Are we playing any better? Had some life issues to take care of so had less of an eye on Panthers.

The team are still crap,Corey’s record is almost as bad as GG’s, Strach’s hasn’t made any difference,Black is still hiding, Pacha popped up once but wasn’t being overly straight, the same load of pants is still on the roster, they did sign one half decent looking Dman last week, rumour has it they’ve made another lazy signing and snagged a goalie called Jones that wasn’t good enough in Belfast, rumour also has it that two players are getting gassed next couple of days,Yotes locked the old Bussieres thread to save a lot of people getting embarrassed because Iggy was right all along,Pidge went to Belfast to get piddled but the fans were a bit miffed on Sunday night that the players left early without waving to them as they had to go catch a ferry. Somebody apparently told the team it was leaving an hour earlier than it really was so that they didn’t miss it like they did going over to Belfast. 🙄 And that’s about it. Oh and Iggy is still the best thing on the Cage by miles. 🤣🤣

Debeau MoM. Already off the ice for presentations as Panthers dash down tunnel to make 10.30pm Ferry. Very EIHL 🤣 There isn’t a 10.30pm ferry if it’s Stena Line to Cairnryan, the last one at night sails at 11.30pm. There are six a day every four hours from 7.30am, I do that trip regularly. They just didn’t want to come and wave to you Baggy. Lol🤣 Lol. I wasn't in Belfast. Watched the better of the 2 games via webcast.

Wrong, the ferry leaves Belfast and Cairnryan at 10.30pm on a Saturday.

Wrong, the ferry leaves Belfast and Cairnryan at 10.30pm on a Saturday. Apparently so yes,every other day it is 11.30pm. Good job the game didn’t go to OT and pens or that would have screwed things up ! Making players do things like that is just one of the penny pinching club choices that naffs players off and possibly stops them wanting to come back. Add to this the change in coach company used for the players travel this past weekend. All Omars own work as they say. He thought he could get a cheaper with Goodwins because he knows someone there. It may well have been cheaper but how did it work out...? Well the players missed the ferry on the way there. As a direct consequence they missed an evening team meal at the hotel booked in for 7.30 that night. Eventually they arrived about half 10. Some players (and in this instance I don't blame them) then decided to go out to get something to eat. Not ideal preparation for the Friday game, and we all know how that transpired.. Professional don't you know... Oh and the fans in the hotel weren't to 'bother' the players. Yet ironically the players weren't supposed to be in the same hotel. Was the hotel cheaper too? Maybe I'm just too much of a cynic.

The ferry only leaves at 10.30pm only on a Saturday, it's 11.30pm every other day.

Yotes locked the old Bussieres thread to save a lot of people getting embarrassed because Iggy was right all along Wrong, the ferry leaves Belfast and Cairnryan at 10.30pm on a Saturday. Whoops, Iggy being wrong? Definitely keeping this thread open forever then. Rapha-who? 😉

In terms of missing the ferry, was that late being picked up, or caught in traffic, or something else?
I'm wondering how much cheaper it could be to hire a coach from Manchester to drive to Nottingham, to drive back up the country, past Manchester (there's 3 hours extra each way and more chance of getting stuck on the road somewhere for you) to Cairnryan and then the reverse?

I’ve sailed that route many times on fishing trips to Ireland and the Stena ferry is every 4 hours starting at 3.30am with six sailings every day. Except it seems the last one but only on a Saturday night which for some strange reason is at 10.30pm not 11.30pm.

Pro teams getting ferries is amateurish. Players won't return being treated like kids because they missed their ferry going out

Practising what you preach, good to see 😉 So this ferry was Thursday night presumably? At least that's better than trying to cross on the day. A double header probably warrants a flight though tbh, agree with Pidge.

Blimey Maybe my first game in 6 or so years against the Blaze at new year has given me rose`y coloured glasses and nothing has change in that time apart from a league win..... I will take the rest of the season to get back into the swing of all things panthers to see if its still worth my money.... Reading the above says your better off with a subscription to Disney and watch crap Marvel films

A double header probably warrants a flight though tbh, agree with Pidge. Indeed. Opportunity to fill the rest of the plane with fans too? I'm not sure how the travelling hours compare, but Google Maps has at at 9 hours door to door. A flight would be 4 at most?

You would be talking six hours drive on a coach Nottingham to Cairnryan, maybe an hours wait and ferry boarding time,two and a quarter hours sailing across and then perhaps half an hour on to the hotel. If the sea is rough it’s a bloody awful crossing over the Irish Sea too.
