What don’t get is even when Sheffield and Cardiff had their ownership and financial problems they were still competitive. Panthers don’t have them problems….and we’re not competitive!!!! Over last 10 seasons, it’s Seems like the fancy scoreboard, media team and new match night competition/giveaways is just ‘polishing a turf’

Anybody else watch Antonio Conte the Spurs manager rip the whole club,it’s owners and players apart last night for their poor attitude and the way they operate as a club. It is no coincidence that Neil Black is a big Spurs fan !!

Never thought I would read this about Panthers, it’s not a dig it’s just very sad, Panthers have scored 74 less goals than Giants, and conceeded 62 more. A club like the Nottingham Panthers should never be in that predicament and it’s very very sad.

As a fan who moved over from the old ice stadium and have had a season ticket for years. The last couple of seasons it has been noticeable how many of the old crowd have stopped coming. Some because they have got old but a lot because they have had enough of watching boring hockey. Even in the old barn when Panthers were a smaller budget team they at least had the characters to compete and entertain the crowd. We keep being told to improve the hockey we need more imports but the low end imports we now have with the wage cap is part of what is driving the boring brand of hockey we now have. Even the top teams aren't very good. Sheffield especially aren't very good at all. Which further shows how bad we are.
Gags fight in the Cardiff match was good but there should be some of that against Sheffield. Especially when we are playing poorly. The current players don't have a clue what a rivalry should be.

Bit of a barrier to having a rivalry is that a lot of the Panthers players are best friends with the Steelers players

Others in the past were friends of ice but still competed hard on the ice. If anything thing they loved giving each other a battering. Maybe hockey players aren't made like they used to be.
Also seems the art of a good on target slap shot has died. The ones the Nettie had to save or it was a goal.

I dont see most of my mates in a year as much as Panthers and Steelers see each other.

Basically paying more for less. Hockey was once value for money. Not any more, and that's the whole shebang, not just the Panthers.

Smith will just throw more money at it and hope it works lol. He's got a decision to make in the summer whether he sticks with Fox or cuts loose and pays him out of his contract. The irony is Sheffield will be more swizzled off with how their season has gone than how NB will as he simply doesn't care!

I bet Black doesn’t even know this weekend’s results yet

I bet Black doesn’t even know this weekend’s results yet Me too unfortunately his coach isn't all that. There's only Keefe and Dixon in this league I rate. Like someone else said the best you can hope for his bringing in a player coach or a ex player who wants to go into coaching that has good knowledge of the league
