The first trip of many. A win makes it two years since our last loss against them. I do love a tradition.

I think it's time for Marco's first competitive game with us playing Belfast in our first league game on Sunday.

Greenfield doesn't need to be loaded up with games early on, especially CC games.

I understand your point and it is valid but I would not take any risks with a Belfast league game. We may need every point against them at the end of the season. Perhaps let Marco have a go in Nottingham.

I think that's what he said.

Surprised to see Greenfield starts this one. Unless Marco has a knock, I’m afraid I really don’t understand this decision. It’s a boring CC game which gives an ideal opportunity to play your import backup goalie.

I would have kept Greenfield fresh for the far more important game against Belfast tomorrow.

Well it’s certainly not boring. An excellent first period’s entertainment and steelers just the better. Panthers look to have improved over last season. I guess they would feel last season was awful all round. Pleased to see them competitive again.
