GAME THREAD: FINAL. Steelers v. Panthers.. Sat, 1st May.

Agreed about Kirk but his indiscipline behind the play in the offensive zone created the pp and the winning goal...huge fan of his but that was totally dumb.

On the face of it yes but we didn’t see it. Not sure I’ve seen Kirk roughing at any other time in the series and wonder how it came about. Doubt he just thought I’ll throw a glove or two for the hell of it.

Would like to see the lead up before I’d call it totally dumb.

The question is not whether he was provoked but that he pointlessly reacted. It has been a pattern for the last month.

Agreed, teams are using this as a way to get us to take soft penalties.

Great tactics against us, we oblige almost every time.

I thought it was a very good game which really could have gone either way.

We out shot them, although on Grade A chances I would have said it was equal, but they were more clinical.

Fair play to the Panthers, after a slow start they've really got their act together. To beat them we will have to be at our best and win more faceoffs. Our top lines lost far too many in the crucial areas and couldn't build a head of steam.

Of our top forwards I thought Dowd had the best game.

Let's see what tonight brings.
