Kinda surprised Guildford opted for the 2nd Leg, thought that they would try to avoid the trip to here and back before the 2nd Leg.
You can call me optimistic but I think that this is doable. Guildford haven't really hammered us, we've won there and they might be down from the title challenge.
If The Panthers are at full strength and play like they did against Manchester, aggressive and attacking, not sitting back defending and counter attacking. You never know the goals may come. Also they have been scoring more regular recently. Just need to defend.
Plus, if the conspiracy theorists are correct, both Guildford and Manchester may encounter Refereeing issues next weekend LOL

Them or Cardiff were probably our best chance of getting to the weekend. In the season record Flames have the edge, but the games have all been close:
10/09 Panthers 4 Flames 3 (OT)
18/11 Panthers 2 Flames 4
19/11 Flames 4 Panthers 3 (OT)
07/01 Panthers 1 Flames 2 (SO)
08/01 Flames 5 Panthers 4
05/03 Flames 3 Panthers 4 (SO)
So yes, I won't be surprised if we get through tbh. But then again, missing the league could be a huge incentive for Guildford to make amends. We'll also have to see who's available.

Well they’d announced it well in advance whoever they got they’d have their home game on the Sunday. That is their traditional home game day so probably just works better for them and also gives that continuity for their fans who are used to buying tickets for Sundays, bigger crowd could help them over the line on the Sunday. I see the logic in their choice. |

Now probably isn't a good time to remember that last year we held the lead SIX times against the Flames in the playoffs, Flames ahead only for the final 5 mins. Thankfully only Brassard & three Brits still here from that game.

The Grapes Count reads ;-
Panthers 1 v Flames 2.
Guildford control the game and take a one goal lead back home.

Caruso out. So I guess the team picks itself, with one import goalie and a Brit backup.

We'll be lucky to see 3,000 fans in this evening. POQF is always poorly attended but this will likely be the worst by some distance. No real suprise considering the season we've had.
I hope the fans get behind them though, for all the talk of how bad they are I dont think it's down to lack of effort for the large part.
I've always been fairly optimistic over the years even after poor seasons, I just cant see them pulling this one off.

Jones in net.
No Dubeau, Caruso, Hazeldine or Ferarra.
And Kelsall on D so it seems...
If Hazeldine is fit it's a strange decision to leave him out

Decent period for Panthers.
Slightly odd goal for Guildford to concede, netminder made a bit of a meal of it.

McAdam's not having the best of games, looking good for Panthers so far. 80 minutes left of course.

Battled hard so far and Jones has made some big saves, Guildford not liking our physicality

Back in from the family egg hunt at sisters. Taking a look at the present score here, let out a massive 'WOW' to let everyone in the house know I was back on the computer.
20 minutes not to use as something to fall back upon but 20 minutes to stick it at 'em and keep this margin to take away.

Netminders the difference so far.

So who had 4-0 in the sweepstake then... Sounds like it's men v boys.. playing physical and applying the effort usually leads to dominance...
