GAME THREAD: Blaze v Steelers: Sunday

[Doom]

That saves me £16 and I know others who aren't bothering now.

If Panthers aren't taking this game seriously, they're not going to give Belfast a game.

Hopefully Huhtamaa does what he never managed for us and saves over 92%, but I suspect it will be nearer 85%.

Panthers "resting" Grande and Huhtamaa starts.. according to to Panthers twitter, game sheet not officially released yet.

If that turns out to be true then Nottingham have bottled it and want looking at.
Clear intentions to hand Belfast the league

If he's not injured and would have played had Nottingham still had a chance of winning the league then it looks suspicious but of course we'll never know the truth. Perhaps they should change their name from Panthers to Cheetahs ?

It's certainly disappointing but Panthers aren't doing anything wrong, they're perfectly entitled to rest/swap players is they feel it necessary. I'd expect Steelers to do same if they had nothing to play for with the Playoffs coming up.

At least they're starting the import backup, let's hope Agent Huhtamaa comes up trumps

Robson in goal for Coventry, even though they have an important playoff game next week. Looks like they want to sign off with a win and quite rightly so.

If I was a Panthers fan I'd certainly not be happy about the last game of the season in a sold out arena playing the back up and at a guess the kids.

Not doing anything wrong as such but certainly leaning heavily towards giving Belfast the title.

Confirmed on official game sheet. Huhtamaa and Sheldon are the netminders for the Nottingham Cheetahs tonight....

I understand the resting of Grande as I would expect us to do the same with Greenfield if in the same position.

I do think it gives us a clue though how seriously they are taking the game though. Which isn’t very unfortunately.

Absolutely disgusting for their fans. I'd be well disappointed to say the least.
