Another pummeling on the cards.
The Grapes Count =
Blaze 4 : Panthers 1.

I daren't even think about the score it could be double digits, our record in Coventry is poor and with travelling back from Glasgow I dont think we stand a chance.

[Yotes]

Yeah, this has got defeat written all over it. Blaze with a day off beforehand while we're getting done in the Bermuda Derby.

[jd]

Not a chance we will win this

[awooga]

Based on nothing but gut feeling- I think we might sneak something today.

3-4 to us.

If it comes off, I’m off out to buy a lottery ticket.

13 goals last night, 11 tonight! Sexy Neilson hockey is back baby!

Their 5th epitomise our Season

Gagnon's Penalty was BS, he had a Blaze player over him and gets his Helmet knocked off.

Probably did them a favour getting Gagnon off the ice seeing as he was on there for FIVE goals tonight.
Same as Brady, him and Hammond together are a complete defensive liability.

Last year we finished 33 points behind the league winners.

We are now 38 points behind them but also 26 points behind 5th. We've all watched the horror show unfold but that really is staggering.

Probably shows that for years they relied on the advantage of spending power rather than any club ability in previously finishing their usual 4th and 5th.

Totally confused by Corey's attitude and body language in the post match interview. Is he as fed up and frustrated as the fans ? Would be want to return next season if asked ?

Gone are the “Yes Boss” days of the old fashioned Junta and yes I think he has had enough too. Nobody has ever seen a Panthers team like it

I think he’ll want to return purely based on his reasoning for coming back in the 1st place, I don’t think Neilson is they type of person who promises to help steady a club he cares about and then dip at the 1st opportunity
