GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers Saturday, 19th March 7:00pm

Well I thought it was business as usual with a lot of soft, lazy play in our own end. It took our late in the period powerplay before we got any concerned offensive zone time/pressure. Need much better in the next two periods.

[Bryan]

Poor right across the rink

[paul johnston]

A better second period but still lacking any real offensive fizz. Jones been great, Rok had to make some big saves but some big name big cv forwards continue to be pretty anonymous.

[Nathan]

Utter garbage.

For a team in a position to be able to win the league most of our big names are on the post season plane to Benidorm.

I can't believe how many of you rave about the Rok.. I just don't see it.. Sorry

I think it’s because he is our best since Mustukovs, although behind our poor 5 man D units he doesn’t stand much of a chance most nights.

[SteelerBlade]

Are we a decent side? Undoubtedly.

But a championship winning side we are not.

[paul johnston]

There's a lot of guys I'd take to task before Rok in this team. We have a bunch of fairly middling to poor forwards. Not only in the creating chamces/putting the puck in the net but in their d zone play.

Tonight's game has been another to me going through the motions, lack of passion, guts and desire performance. You have to really want it, and show it, to win the league and this team just doesn't.

Slow start in the 1st, conceding early. Not good enough.

So disappointing. We were in a good place after last Sat and 6 days without a game then and let it slide at the start. We have to be dominating these games from the start and the mentality doesn’t seem right.

[Gibbo42]

Now I’m more concerned about if we’ll be able to hold on to 2nd place in the league rather then challenging for the league title.
