I still think they will want to finish above Steelers and so will still want to win this one.
I'm looking to finish 3rd so we can say we finished above an arena team, truly preying belfast gonna do the double over steelers but thats gonna be a massive effort from giants .

Saddends me to say but I haven't the appetite to go today. I hate afternoon face offs it interferes the whole of my sunday, combined with the style and inconsistency of play and the recent off ice issues I'm giving it a miss but hope the players turn around the recent form for momentum towards the play-offs

Unfortunately it's family friendly times as it's school next day, just wish it would go back to 6pm just glad Sunday games are less than years ago, prefer Fridays and Saturdays .

I'm going but am certainly not filled with the confidence of others about today's result. Panthers are within sniffing distance of top of the League. They are going to go all out.

Our lot are sometimes sluggish after a messed up single game all the way up in Scotland so low expectations about this game sadly.

Some of our players need to step with contracts on the line , if they dont, then out the door they go, to many passengers this season , time to play as a team like sep/ oct/November since then it's been very inconsistent, due to some playing to their potential, some, going through the motions , so come on boys we all know you got it in you time to beat an arena team and not roll over . Just saying

3.2 to the devils after 1, excellent performance, spoilt by poor goalie, should be 5 nil
The only poor goalie in this game was the one wearing black and gold. Our Christian played really well and after Panthers' second goal late in p1, the Devils' players gave much more defensive support to our goalie for the rest of the game.

For this fan (who had stupidly written off this game before it started), I'm quietly eating some humble pie. After an excellent, high energy, and dominant performance from our Team, I'm left flumuxted where this version of the Devils has been for most of the last 4 months?
We all saw how well they could play early in the season...then injuries and juggled lines and other aspects effected team dynamic.

This is the most complete performance at home witnessed all season. It was relentless and powerful, it was confident, attacking hockey. And tonight, the players seemed to be playing for eachother and enjoying it. The line combinations and chemistry worked. Well done and keep it going.....performances like this can still alter the course of the League and improve our destiny.

Wasn’t expecting such a good game, we are missing a little bit of extra quality that would have seen us up there with Belfast, but I struggle to see what’s not to like about this team
barring our powerplay of course

Great game tbh apart from the 2 lucky goals we let in, we could easily had 6 or 7 that period, 2nd period we stepped it up with physicality and took the game by the scruff of neck, 3rd period could've stepped up a gear but went through the motions as panthers didnt offer much in the 3rd, nice to beat an arena team quite easily , well done boys, keep it up in readiness for the playoffs and still a chance of 3rd spot...p.s hope kipper is OK I assume the puck hit him and went down with a nasty blow to the head , that brandt is a nasty player.
