Saturday night hockey
Nottingham Panthers in town
Only team we have yet to win against
They sit in 10th propping up the league
For Flyers 2 points are a must

Owen in net looks like Gilling sitting out again

Was Gilling at the Styx night?

Brings back memories of playing Glasgow Dynamos and the manual scoreboard and big time clock

Did I just watch Spence rub his top on this ass then hand it to a fan for shirt of the back??

Well that game could have done with a few more goals 😂😂

[zamboni]

It was like being back in the Findus Era
Great to get 2 points entertaining game but Owen won’t sleep tonight
Panthers poor discipline cost them in the end
They have a very good top line
The goalie though he skated off at 60 minute mark
Probably disgusted at the lack of protection
Humitz goal of Robinson put their heads down
Closing in on playoff spot
1 behind Clan

A welcome win, but far from the prettiest. Two poor teams really and neither goalie came out of the game with much credit, nor did the defending. Some Heineken era defensive play and goaltending.

Flyers flat start didn’t help and were two down in just over four minutes. A nice wrister from Emmerdahl and then one from close in from Pulkkinen made it all square, but a screened shot beat Owen with 14 seconds to go in the period.

About half way through the second it was 4-2,but goals from Lajeunesse and Humitz got Flyers back to 4-4 with less than two minutes to go. As in the first Panthers got a late goal to go in 5-4 up.

The third started with a Panthers sixth, then 45 seconds later Pulkinnen scored again for 5-6. Two goals in less than a minute from Lajeunesse and Humitz again, put Flyers ahead for the first time. The lead lasted just over 90 seconds and it was 7-7. A further 90 seconds in and Eriksson thankfully got the game winner. Two late Panthers penalties put Flyers on a 5 on 3 powerplay. Despite playing themselves into trouble early on the powerplay a cracker of a hat trick goal from Lajeunesse sealed the win.

Happy with the win of course, but not the best performance of the season. The team never gave up and probably just about deserved the win.

Agreed, vile and immature behaviour

[roryracer]

First period was flat but fife really dropped a gear in the 2nd and 3rd, well done lads that was a huge win and a great effort

You are reading it wrong. He was trying to do the stripper dance with it.
Which is to be expected given the music the play. He’s a kid and felt embarrassed having to do it. Not vile, just a kid not knowing what to do. He made the money gesture on the way back to the team so I’m guessing he was getting ribbed by the boys about it.
No drama there
