GAME THREAD: CUP: Panthers v Steelers. Sat 30th Sept

[ginger]

Not watched the game tonight, but that will most certainly do.

Is Nicholls starting to look good? Did wonder if it might take him a few games to get back in to an offensive mindset having been playing a shutdown role in the KHL

I can't really say I noticed Nicholls a lot, but that was true of most of the forwards, it was just a very solid performance from all the lines.

I've just checked the match stats and we don't have one player better than +2, but we do have 10 players who were on +2, which indicates a very solid team performance with all lines contributing.

I'm not sure what to make of Panthers yet, are they a poor team or was this just a very good day at the office for us?

In my pre season predictions I have Notts 3rd based on the players they've signed, so it will be interesting to see how they perform against other teams.

Thanks Doom, I'll get a proper look this afternoon.

Doubt we'll see a win as convincing all season. Completely dominant from start to finish.
Be interesting to see the faceoff percentages, I'm not sure Watling or Simpson lost a single one all night. Must have been up close to 90%.

Overall as a team we were 62% in the face off dot. (Scroll to the bottom).

Thanks Doom. I think I was fooled by the pregame lists put up by panthers on the stream which showed Kielly as fourth centre. juusola played well I thought.

[smbmetal]

Surely this was an ideal game to give Kielly a game? If he’s not quite up to speed this would have been a perfect opportunity to play him?

Mind boggles.

Thanks, didn't realise the game sheets listed faceoff percentages.....maybe I was a tad overexcited when I claimed 90%

Winning some will seem like 90% compared to previous seasons "success" at face offs !!
