League opener, need to show intent, can see us winning comfortably here, I'll go for 4-1.

[The Flying Shirt]

The league is all that matters

[spik]

Remember for this game.
Not to be out done or is it forced to show willing after Sheffield's pre season challenge game pricing? Panthers are offering reduced 'family' prices these Sunday games and 'ST discounts' for games soon. But I'm about the only 'senior' with 3 and 6 year old kids among us all and would have to give up my 'concession' to gain the 'family' price that doesn't include all those lovely extra's that are added on at the end, lol.... Only block 12 also if I want to 'Choose you own'(sic).
Perhaps I can come and party in the Bolero Square and cash in on the (free sample) beer possibility, noted as 'alcholic'.

The League matters.

Keen to see the new stats upgrade and improvements. Particularly happy that in the OS sites game centre stats (Events) will be showing Goalie times in and out (halleluiah) , so why not add this now to the actual game sheet.

Booked day off from work for this one. Don’t fail me Panthers.

Panthers offered family tickets last season, nothing to do with Sheffield.

I assume that's why I put a question mark after the sentence. So a tongue in cheek moment but perhaps an unworthy note then I'd agree on that count. But highlighting possible cheaper entry.

The Grapes Count here :-
Panthers 5 : Storm 2.
Think/hope we will have too much up front for the Storm.

[Bagheera]

Not seen the team yet, not even watched a webcast. Hoping to see what this team's all about this afternoon. Looking forward to it.

First period gone 0-0 had more shots but do look like we are struggling to clear our zone and it's causing us problems.
Storm playing the body consistently but no real answer on that front from us .
Have probably had the better of the chances but need to step it up in the 2nd .

No worries !

[Dips]

We are being bullied in our own rink. Storm bigger and stronger and we have no answer to it. Storm not giving us space to play and we appear to have no plan B

[deke]

0-3 end of the second
Very poor in transition and it's cost us . Some lazy passing putting more pressure on us . We cannot win faceoffs which again is adding to this .
Storm very physical Panthers cannot cope and are being bullied off the puck. starting to get frustrated and reacting. Refs seem to be letting a lot go.
Lots of chance creation but cannot convert

[kievthegreat]

0-3 after 40. Storm playing a perfect road game and getting 3 goals of Panthers giving away possession cheaply.

I was led to believe we had a better team this year? Looks like we couldn't score in a brothel at the moment.

Refs very much looking to let the game flow and Storm taking full advantage with late hits and plenty of cross checks being let go.

[kjb962]

Betteridge unseen since going off gingerly early in 2nd period

[Yotes]

One back through Niemenen on the power play.

[spik]

Ok one. Let’s have a surge again.

[Yotes]

2-3, Roy

[spik]

Two. One more at least. Well done.

[Yotes]

Ran out of time, 2-3 finished.

[Bagheera]

That was Manchester, not a potential contender.

As for the rest. 🤐

Problem was giving them a 3 goal headstart with 2 timid periods. Lot faster and physical in the 3rd and got what we deserved. A lot of misplaced passes still, especially on their blueline.

Boo!!
