Great to get the win. Thought we'd end throwing it away again, but I think many of us probably did after recent months. Outshot them 18-3 in the first period. Often when you dominate that much and dont really make it count it comes back to bite you.
Officials made some awefull calls and left equally as many too. Overall proably even for both teams but the standard is getting way worse, from not a great foundation.

Very reminiscent of the previous home game against Glasgow. Every Glasgow shot in the 3rd Period, I thought was going in coupled with that somewhat freak goal for their 2nd.
Finally a home win.
Officials missed Niemenen having his Helmet getting knocked off when it was the extra skater. Would have been our look if Glasgow had equalised just after.
Roof would have been blown off if we had scored on the empty net.

Great to get the home win finally,always tense as we couldn't kill the game off but got the job done!
We were the better team and deserved the win,great to see the players with smiles on their faces at the end.
Hopefully we can follow this up on Wednesday!

Was a good game to watch tonight and we fully deserved the win. A fight as well where Lemay did well against a far bigger opponent. Good comedy moment with Michaud shoving Sol through the Clan open door and onto his bum after he had thrown Michaud to the ice. Made funnier by Sol moaning to the ref. Definitely not a dull game.

Finally a home win, what a relief!!!
Like others have said, it was a tense affair in the 3rd period, their 2nd goal was a poor one to concede and it gave them life. Thankfully the team dug in and held on.
Special mention for Lunjsö who has found his scoring form of late which has contributed massively to our improved performances. A lot of respect for Lemay as well. Stevenson is one of the toughest fighters in the league and he didn’t shy away, I did fear for him when he went down and got up holding his shoulder but thankfully he played on. It’s good to see some fire in them, it’s what you need to compete.
A great game at the NIC

Didn’t watch last nights game but doesn’t take a genius to work out that we were much better defensively. That shot count of 18-3 after the -at shows how comfortable it was at times.
McGurty got a stroke of luck on that first goal. We’ve been unfortunate on many occasions throughout the losing streak which sometimes led to losses from games to at we should have won. It’s nice to see in the last few games some bits of luck working for us now.
Lunsjo has been class and it’s good to see him continue that form.
Really relieved that Lemay came back out in the 3rd, I feared the worst after his fight (which he did a bloody good job in).
Hopefully Hazeldine is back midweek with Pare to follow next weekend, get back up to a full squad and build on some good form to grab a playoff spot. That Fife game next weekend is huge.
We all knew this season would be unpredictable and difficult after we came back, I don’t think anyone could have predicted just how difficult, but this group of players (in my opinion) is a fantastic bunch who work so well together and they all look like such a close knit group. I really, really hope they can have a good end to the season.

Glad to finally get that monkey off our backs and win at home again.
My days we had some awful netminding this weekend, to concede 2 in a weekend from behind our own goal line is unacceptable.
Such dumb play from lemay fighting Stevenson, fair play for sticking up for himself but you don’t find Stevenson, he was always going to get a pasting and I really feared the worse when he went straight down the tunnel holding his shoulder.
Roll on Wednesday.
The race for 8 is on!!!

A game where we dominated for long periods of time and could've, in fact should've had more. A silly give away for clans first and the 2nd, when the player was 3 foot behind the goal line, was it a shot or an attempt at a pass towards an oncoming team mate? Didn't see what started the altercation between Lemay and Stevenson, but fair play to taking him on, even it was a rather foolhardy move. But in the end it was a home win, which the team needed and hopefully will boost them to push onward.
Considering it was the first home win in a long time, it's a bit quiet on here!

Enjoyed the game, entertaining and a fairly noisy crowd. The wife loves this team, says they are gritty, hard working and close knit....She's on the money.

Lemay was doing OK actually, then he seemed to absolutely eat one and he was down. Up to then, he was having a pretty good game from what I could tell.

Just looking around on the recent game threads, one thing that stuck out of who comments on a loss and not much about a win.
Last 5 game threads:
3 losses - 26 combined posts by Iginla and Pidge. 2 wins - 2 combined posts by Iginla and Pidge.
Tells you everything 😂

Did I comment on the weekends Fife 9-7 disastrous debacle ….nope. I suggest you look closer at the posts rather than the poster !

But far more likely to post on a game loss thread than a win, that was the point. It's never very likely to be actually "about an actual game" as you don't attend. You can't possibly be trying to allude to the idea that you are a fair and reasonable poster in all circumstances? Anyway, it's only an opinion, and we know what they're like.

Go back 20 years on this forum.. you'll find game threads after a loss we're always longer than ones we won .. and I include the period when panthers were actually good

That’s probably because most people naturally prefer to complain than praise as they’ll feel the need to get something off their chest and have a good moan about. Also when you win everyone will pretty much say well done and be in agreement so no debate will be formed. Opposed to when we lose then passions will be higher and there will be disagreements as to how and why we lost and to the direction the club is going which in turn will create more argument among more people

If they don’t like the club, the ownership, the fan base, the bongo cams etc., that’s fine. We get it. What I don’t get is the constant need to run everything down. Don’t like it? Never going again? Fine. Go and get another hobby. It’s nothing short of trolling.

Now that the EIHL stattos have cleaned up the game sheet from the Fife away game you can see the impact that Michaud has had of late. In the last 4 games he’s had 1 goal and 12 assists!! Him and Lunsjö have combined well and they’re giving us a bit of scoring depth which we’ve been desperate for. Hopefully they keep it up

Wouldn’t mind either of them back playing on the 2nd/3rd lines. This team has good players it just lacks depth and balance

He's just one of those players I see the things he does badly first and i'm not really sure why. Sunday was a prime example. I was furious at Clans first goal because he had solid possesion of the puck on his stick in the offensive zone and made am awefully soft, ridiculous turnover which saw Clan break and score. That goal was all on him. That offensive zone turnover is a speciality of his. I have of course also noticed his work rate and his great hands, but I must admit I was suprised by his stats when browsing on Sunday night after the game. He is the only player who is over a ppg, now tied as our top points scorer and considering some of the horrific +/- numbers on the team he has a very respectable -1. Cant argue with that. I've stated I think we can probably afford to keep 5,maybe 6 import forwards if we want to compete next season. He wasn't in my list of possibilities, but he really has to be.

Hopefully they keep it up Compare and contrast to Otto, who has 1 assist in the last 5 games, broadly since being paired with Luciani. I agree with what you say though, I too saw that turnover and ranted a bit, and he doesn’t seem to often come up with that killer, defence splitting pass, but look in the book, he’s making things happen just now.

Yeah Michaud is a marmite one for sure, I’m hoping that once Pare is back on Saturday that we get to see that Michaud, Lunsjo and Pare like from the Coventry first half of the Coventry win back together, they had clicked really well and were lethal before Pare lost his head

Michaud and Lemay's +/- when on ice together is -10 each. Michaud without Lemay is +9. (+6 of which is games 31 and 32 (at Coventry and Fife) when on a line with 56/61.) Lemay without Michaud is -11. The 16/17/98 combination that has been playing together recently is a net -18 between them, scored 2 goals, conceded 8. 10 of Lemay's points have come on the PP.

As you’ve highlighted here, and in your previous post about Nieminen, we’ve got two lines that aren’t really going. Surely it’s worth mixing it up and putting Nieminen-Roy-Lemay together? Imo they are our three best forwards, yet I can’t recall them having a spell together this season
