Brown would be my captain without a doubt. Always works hard and I think him and Mok work well together.

Didn't you have Pete Russell as our new coach weeks ago? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) If they'd rushed an appointment and got someone a bit meh, with the building society news following they'd now be getting pelters for being cheap etc. GM can sign any Brits that need signing, Pither's a decent player but it wouldn't be the end of the world if any of our imports didn't return. They didn’t need the Buildng Society money to get a decent coach,that’s just extra pocket money for Panthers. Panthers need some proper quality hungry imports and a “Franchise player” to build a team around for a few years,one that will stay a while and produce night in night out like the likes of Joey Martin and Mathieu Roy do. Quite honestly,who was our standout import this year,the one every other team would have in a heartbeat,who you looked at every night and thought yeah he’s quality and never lets us down. Have we had one in say the last three years ? I don’t think so ! I’d say Pither is that player we have needed, it would be criminal if we don’t re-sign him and he ends up elsewhere in the league. 29 points in 22 games and he made Derlago a better player. I’d even take Derlago back as long as Pither is with him. Then sign a guy to compliment them two.

Ahhh ok. I think people will still pay silly money for game worn even if there were replicas out there. Shame really, pricing the average fan out of getting a jersey. I got one last year. Think I paid £120. When you consider what you pay for a replica these days I thought it was decent value. Obviously last year we didnt make the weekend so that may have kept prices lower. The online auction is pretty good though because you put the bid in you can afford. If you get outbid then you can put another in or leave it. I think its worth a punt and you may get lucky within your budget. Fair enough, I’ll die definitely have a look then. Thanks for that.

Can you buy replica play off jerseys. I really like the black ones but not willing to pay for the game worn. Don't suppose the suppliers make more? Sadly I think it’s only the game worn ones. The auction makes a lot of money for the league so I doubt they’ll sell replicas cause it’s drive down the value of the auction Ahhh ok. I think people will still pay silly money for game worn even if there were replicas out there. Shame really, pricing the average fan out of getting a jersey.

I hope to god it's not 5 v 5 for 20 minutes over and over. That was a borefest last year. Got to the point where I didn't care who scored just wanted to leave. The players looked shattered which makes the game even more dull.
I don't understand what's wrong with a penalty shoot out. I also don't agree with 3 v 3 but hey that's another debate.

I agree in that the game summed up our season, plenty of times we are have been ahead and lost or taken it to overtime to just grab a win. Steelers weren’t particularly great and a more clinical team would have finished them off. Fair play to them, a few of there goals were scrappy but id take a scrappy win any day, winning is all that matters.
Think Steelers will win and on the plus side I think Thommo will stay if they do haha

Devils winning 1-0 end of second.
Devils started the game slow but the second period they were all over Fife. Can't see anything but a Devils win now.

Maybe we should give our subways to get an atmosphere going..... And the crowd on Friday was a crowd Belfast could only dream of so..... seriously!!!!! just shows the mentality in Panther town.....god forbid fans enjoy themselves at a game. You just enjoy your games that only seemed to be watched by fans who sit on their hands ....your organisation needs to get themselves into the 21st century. as I said no banners, no drums, NO WEBCAST, no fun. Just concerned with getting as much money out of fans, because apart from that they don't show much concern in the fans for anything else. Was you at the game on Sunday? That was one hell of an atmosphere and there were no drums in sight, oh and we didn’t have to pay someone to dance in the stands for entertainment. Regardless of how good this guy is, I have no doubt he’s good at what he does, play off hockey is exciting enough and the crowd should already be pumped. The money imo would have been better spent on entertainment between games or something to replace the third place game. Let’s hope this guy is worth it aye ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I do agree with you on how our organisation needs to get into the 21st century though, certainly the banners and webcast situation. The rest of the atmosphere is down to the game itself, not something you can necessarily buy.

The fans usually turn up for both games at the play offs semi finals so I think they will be fine. On to the game, Steelers certainly have our number this season. We have only beaten them 3 times in 10 games and have been shutout 3 times. It is play off hockey so I think previous matches aren't as important, but they may have the psychological advantage.
Still I am going with a Panthers win, just because I wouldn't go if I didn't feel we could win it. So imo Devils vs Panthers final.
Previous Games vs Steelers
Steelers 6 - 5 Panthers Panthers 2 - 3 Steelers Steelers 3 - 4 Panthers Panthers 4 - 1 Steelers Steelers 4 - 0 Panthers Panthers 0 - 5 Steelers Steelers 5 - 4 Panthers Panthers 0 - 4 Steelers Panthers 2 - 3 Steelers Steelers 2 - 3 Panthers
Head to Head Record (10 games)
Panthers - 3 Steelers - 7
Goals Scored
Panthers - 24 Steelers - 33

That goal right at the end of the first did us a huge favour imo.

Great result in the end, at 3-0 down I was fearing a total wipeout. glad we got back in to it. Should be a good game come Sunday.

After a long weekend in Amsterdam and then going back to work yesterday I really couldn't be bothered to go to the game. After seeing the result I am glad I decided to stay at home instead.
If Capitals are allowed to stay in the league next year there is something seriously wrong. It's happened time and time again, yet they are still allowed to stay in the league.
I never want a team to fold as I think it's unfair on the fans who do follow the team but it's gone beyond that now. I just can't see how things are going to change. The league bankrolling them just to make up numbers will not work.

Will be missed - not as proficient as he used to be, but still has a wicked shot at times - will not discount his return as coach, and will not be surprised if he is still behind the bench next season He's leaving the club to pursue a job outside hockey The video interview I saw he said he was going to be meeting coaches from other leagues trying to get some fresh ideas over the summer and that he is not ready for the coaching job yet. Can’t see him staying out of hockey for long if he’s already making plans.

I agree, they could actually do really well with the conference system and decent owner. Its great getting 2000 people in from Groupon but if they have to witness a thrashing like this every time why would they go back? I agree But the groupon ticket price was very low. Bit like Steelers the other night against Cardiff when they did all tickets for £5.00 Sheffield got about 5000 in,but realistically that is the equivalent of a crowd of only around 2000 at normal ticket prices. Why they did that for a Devils game I've no idea,seems very odd thinking indeed to me. I think the idea of the Groupon for Caps would have been any money is better than no money. I think it is a great way to get people interested in the sport actually, all it takes is one good game and your hooked. Why Steelers did that against Devils I don't know. Maybe like I said previously if they witness a good game they are likely to come back. £5 is a good offer for a night out for someone who has never been before.

Got to have some sympathy for Capitals. They really need somebody to inject some money into the club, take it by the scruff of the neck and drive it forward. Edinburgh’s a large city with enough people to fill the Murryfield rink. Those currently in charge must be really lacking in many areas. Caps crowds recently have been down in the 300 to 400 mark and you just can't exist on that. Although the odd game or two a year has attracted 2000 ish when they do a special offer on groupon. But yes,if groupon is the only way they can get anything like a crowd in then it's time to either get a new owner in or say goodbye to the EIHL. I agree, they could actually do really well with the conference system and decent owner. Its great getting 2000 people in from Groupon but if they have to witness a thrashing like this every time why would they go back?

Have to say Devils are making it easy for us. Granted we have to soak up a lot of pressure but two passes and you have yourself a 1 v 1. Devils are good but I think they player perfect for us, just hit them on the counter every time.
