It's A Trip Up The Road Tonight!!!

Tonight for a few of the Panda masive it's a trip up the road to watch Steelers take on the Vipers. Should be an interesting game, not really sure who to cheers for, still as long as it's a good game that's all that matters. One of us I'm sure will fill you all in with a full report! Hopefully we get to see Smergen-Bergen play.

Also tonight the Panda's will be helping to film an advert for Powerplay. Not sure of all the details yet but I'll get back to to you later on what it actually is!

So on Wednesday night Panther's took on the Caps. Good 4-2 win, Cookey 2+1 (Cookey's Sebby's Love Child) Solid performance, It was also nice to have everyone sat in the Block around us!! Shaggy from the Library, Cat and Ted and also Andy (minus a Dead Cat (sorry mate)) Considering there was no oposing fans to contest with we kept the noise levels quite well!! (Midweek games are always difficult)

Coming Soon............

Hopefully an announcement on the Friday night of Playoff Weekend!! Including the main Drinking Venue. (Fans from ALL teams are invited to this big social gathering!!)

Keep it loud people!!

Nooooooo!!!! They've got rid of the wrong man!!

Well then folks we woke up in Pandaland this morning with the news that Panther's have cut Stefan Sjogren from the roster!! Big mistake I reckon:

1)Why get rid of a good D-man
2) We all know it should have been Stutter
3) Bowen on D Pleeeeeeaaasse (Give me a break!!)

But what the heck we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. But please please please Stefan don't sign for the Squeelers!! Go to the Cap's, we don't mind that!

Anyway on to other news (Happy News!!)

Firstly It's official the Panda's are now Cult Icons!! We are now recognised from Auckland to Zaire!!

Not only did everyone love our singing efforts so much last Saturday that we had 3 (YES THREE) threads on the Cage forum with us all in but we also got a huge mention by Mick Holland in the Nottingham Evening Post. We were described as "The Panda nutters of Block 11!" We truely do now rule the world!!

Anyhow seeing as we are now so famous we thought we'd branch out and are now arranging a trip to watch the Nottingham Lions take on Blackburn in Blackburn!! The game is on Sunday the 12th of Feb. This is an official Panda Team outing!! So if your interested in coming please speak to either myself or Shaggy!! T-shirt may also be available for the trip!!

Anyway stay tuned for more updates!!

Wooooooo!!

Gutted!! What more can you say!!

Well last night we dominated the Squeelers and lost with 2.9 seconds left in the 3rd!! Not really got much more to say on the matter. I thinks the following picture says it all, although I have to say thanks to Keefe for the Songs and entertainment on Sat!!

WOOOOOO!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!

Yes a happy new year to all Panda's and Panda followers!

So yesterday we witness the Panther's going down to a 2-0 defeat by the Vipers. I have to say fair play to newcastle. They probably deserved to win in all honesty. Before the game we knew it was going to be a battle of the 2 best goalies in the elite league and I have to say it but Koenig is the best!! The way he can play the puck is awesome. So to sum it up, Panthers were crap up front and newcastle were good in defense. The major problem for me at present is the forwards are just not shooting the puck!! Someone has to go and the sooner the better!! We miss tessier and really need a sharpshooter to help Big Joe C. But anyway we'll see what happens tomorrow the the (aparrently IN FORM?) Bison are in town.

Anyway on to what the Panda's do best!!! RANDOMNESS!!!!

Here's the lastest pics!!

First of all the latest Panda Merchandise

Wooooooooo!!!!!

WHO??? WHO??? VOTH LOOKS LIKE A LADY!!!!!!

Panthers 6 - Devils 4

Wow!! What a game that was last night!! Panthers storm the 1st 3-0!! Audry Aubry gets pulled after letting two DC shots through his glove!! "Theres a hole in your Goalie, Dear Devils, Dear Devils!!" Then he comes back in Period 2!! Now how can we describe the second period? "Indifferent" that probably about sums it up!! We conceded 4 goals although 2 were past Wooley as Curtis has problems with his pads!! But the thing is we were on a 5 min PP and manages to score 0 and concede 2!! Then a dull 3rd period until Sutter completed his hatrick!! I was a VERY strange night!! Still good to see Kat and Ted sat with the Panda massive in the 3rd and it was also good to see Gismo back alongside Kieth, "Gismo!! Gis us a wave!! Gismo!! Gismo!! Gis a wave!!!" But still it's been a strange weekend with only one game!! I look forward to Basingstoke and Newcastle away next weekend!! Although lets hope we don't pick up any more injuries!! Panthers sick room must have more players in it than we have on the bench!!


Remember Your a Womble!!!

I Found another story onEurohockey!! Sounds nasty!!

Jiri Fischer Collapses

- TSN

Detroit Red Wings defenceman Jiri Fischer suffered a seizure and had his heart stop on the team's bench during the first period of an NHL game against the Nashville Predators on Monday night.

Fischer was given CPR at the bench before being removed on a stretcher. He was taken to hospital and listed in stable condition. Play did not resume and the game was called with 7:31 left in the first period.

#86 Sammo

The Nottingham Panda's are pround to annouce their new short sponsor "Panda Records" .
Supplying all the music at Panda home games.

Yet another Team sponsor has been found. This time for the home penalty box.
Panda Express for all your favourite food!!!

Finally thought I'd post the logo of my new lucky shirt!! My storm shirt is yet to see panthers lose this season!!

Da, Da, STORM!!! Da, Da STORM!!! Da, Da STORM!!!!!


So panthers have signed Dan Ceman for me a great signing and I just hope he plays as well as he did when he was in Bracknall with Big Joe!!! Also panthers state on there website that Dan Tessier is still registered to play for the Nottingham Panthers!! I hope this is true as I want him to play tomorrow night against the Chav's!! Pre game prediction 3-2 panthers (hopefully!!) As long as were not losing I'll be very happy!! Come on you Panthers!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!

#86 Sammo

Lets hope this doesn't happen to the Panda's!!!

Just been browsing Eurohockey.net and came across this interesting story so I thought I'd post it up!!!!

Polish hockey team under attack

A dozen men wearing masks attacked the bus of Polish Extraliga team Zaglebie Sosnowiec

The team is currently seventh in the Polish Extraliga, they have lost their last game 1-7 against Energostal Torun. When their bus arrived home early at dawn, the unidentified men blocked up the road with their cars, and broke the windows of the bus with baseball bats. The driver of the bus was not afraid, accelerated his vechicle, and went away damaging the cars.

The police is investigating the case, it is not clear yet, whether this was a robbery or an action of some unsatisfied fans.

Nobody was hurt.

Also I found this Hockey team website where ex-racer Scott Wray has signed!! I believe these guys are now our arch rivals. Check it out : www.amarillogorillas.com Have to say I love the wesite though!!

#86 Sammo

First of all I though I'd better post the Picture of our Captain caged like a true Panda in the Car Park in Chav.

Eddie Guerrero R.I.P.

The Supercool Mexicools complete with Jaun Deere's

Well it's been a while since I posted!! But I'm here now!!

Now where shall I start? First of all Eddie Guerrero has Died!! I'm in shock, no more latino heat. WWE will never be the same but still Warren and me agree it would be pretty cool if we drove around on the Mexicools Juan Deeres!!!

Anyway on to the Hockey and first of all Friday night, The Squeelers in town. As Spen posted earlier "easy, easy, easy!!" That about sums it up!! The atmosphere in the arena was awesome. 5-1 win against the arch enemy!! What a way to start the weekend! The Horseman with his wooden horse, CLASS!! All in all a good night and good to see Kieth back in his proper blocker! Who are ya?!!!

Then yesterday a hard fought 3-0 win against the Devils and the atmosphere from friday was cerainly evident!! The drive down was simple and we made sure we took the right turning for the rink!! The game was pretty scrappy but we were certainly good for the 2 point. Just with the noise the fans were creating!! Echo you are a legend, Cardiff without you would just not be the same but I feel we completly beat you with the chants!! Good to see the afiliate Pandas there in, Kieth, Shaggy, Ted and Cat. VOTH!! WHO??? WHAT IS HE GOOD FOR!!!! ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!!! ..... OOH OOH VOTH LOOKS LIKE A LADY!!!! and finally... THERE'S A HOLE IN YOUR GOALIE DEAR DEVILS, DEAR DEVILS!!! All in all a superb night!!

Anyway first leg of the semi on Weds against the Chav's!! Bring it on!!

#86 Sammo - In the words of Ric Flair "WOOOOO!!"

EASY! EASY! EASY!
there really is nothing sweeter than stuffing the squealers

#78 Spen

Funniest thing about the Bison game was their Net Minder - hilariously mardy & itching for a fight! - that & Warren nearly setting my Panda Top on fire!
#78 Spen

Well All Good Things Must Come To An End......

.... That about sums it all up. Panthers run of 8 games won has finally gome to an end!! I sit here bored at my computer but can't be bothered to go to sleep!! It's all PANTS (Big Frilley White ones at that!!) Tonight I witnesed for me a Panthers performance that was on par with the dismal performance in Newcastle!! A 5-1 defeat to the Bison!! Myself and Warren could quite happily have gone to the pub after the first even with Panthers leading 1-0 through a fine effort from Brandin!! The game was very flat and to be honest we all reckon Panthers were still in Edinburgh!! Shame I'm not!! But anyway I hope a certain Mr Hicks was involved in a major accident on the way home because once again he has been unable to look after a game and some of his call's were shocking!! Come back Andy Carson I say!!

Anyway that's enough depression!! Have to say though loved Cruicker going mental and Paul "Call me Superman" Moran flying into the Bison bench to land a cracking punch on one of the Bison Players!! Also I'm sure Danny will be better now he's had O'keefe's stick removed from his Arse!! Keep working hard boy!!

After watching my beloved Boston win 2-0 on saturday tonight was a bit of a downer to end the weekend!! On an earlier note though our captain's 10 pin bowling handicap has been decided and he now has a handicap of 66 meaning we won the game the other week!! Come on!!

Ah well best get some sleep!! See you soon people!!

Remember your a womble!! Sorry I mean Panda!!

Been a while since I posted so here are some more random photo's...

A face-off Sat night game(not this sat!) @ Murrayfield(freezing cold) Ice Rink

Panthers & Devils paying nicely - way back in september!

Polar Bear spotted earlier today! - a lot nicer than those in Lost!

The Liver Is Evil & Must Be Punished!!
I thought it was about time I put a posting up myself instead of leaving Spen and Warren to do all the work. Well where shall I start……….

Lets start with Edinburgh, I’ll not drag on too much but what can I say, it was an awesome weekend. Thursday was a nice quiet night but Friday has now been designated Vodka night. Spen and me must have got thorough at least a bottle each. So much so Spen decided to make himself ill when we got back to the hotel room! The Thai place that Jeff, Emma, Myself and Spen went to was superb! Then it was off to Bar Kohl to meet the other lads. Jeff has now become the worlds greatest dancer on the stage with all the really tall people and yes some of them were taller than him!! Espionage was a fantastic Club. 5 floors and Spen and I had a drink on every one. Well I say drink.. It was double vodka red bulls all night!! Have to say best moment of the night had to be when a “fit but you know it” girl came out of a club and Spen and Myself started…… See I reckon your about an 8 or a 9, maybe 9 ½ in 4 beers time. That white tank top you’ve got on is nice, bit too much fake tan , but yeah you score hi!!! An on and on and on!! The girl hadn’t got a clue what to say or do.

Well on to Saturday and recovery was the name of the game!! In fact only Jeff and Emma made breakfast as Spen, Woody, Andy and myself nursed our hangovers. Later in the afternoon our captain arrived with Lou Lou! After a quick change and everyone meeting in the hotel it was off to Murrayfield for the game. After the game Me, Warren and Lou Lou waited for the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle (Other wise know as Danny Scott) who had been spending lots of time with his mentor SPLINTER. And the rest went back to the hotel to get changed to go out!! Being two drinks behind Andy and myself decided to quickly down our first couple of pints and we were soon back up to the level! Once again we visited bar Kohl and then Andy, Woody and Myself ventured to a club call City and that was a superb place! Certainly for me and Andy anyway as woody went home early. Me and Andy both struck it lucky!! Then finally it was back to the Hotel at about 3.45am determined to get up for breakfast!

So on to Sunday and I did make it to breakfast!! Surprise, surprise woody and Andy didn’t make it! Although everyone else did!! Then It was time for the weekend exercise and Andy, Spen, Jeff, Emma and myself decided to walk up Arthur’s Seat and it was well worth it as the views of Edinburgh were awesome! Then after a nice veg out in my room and a foot long from Subway it was time for Sundays game. Only Warren, Lou Lou and myself made it but we weren’t that bothered and still enjoyed it!! We then got back to the Hotel and concluded the weekend with 3 pint in the Student local and a take out from the Chinese. Then it was to bed ready for our early flight back to sunny notts!

Have to say I can’t wait for the next Panda weekend away hopefully with a few more panda’s in attendance. Hope fully it won’t take me only 3 pints to get drunk on the Sunday again!! The hangover finally kick in on Tuesday afternoon!!!

So that was Edinburgh, now for the last two games! Newcastle beaten 3-1 by a very under strength panther’s side who play 4 lines, two of them just about all brits and James Neil getting man of the match! Well deserved even if I do say so myself!! Newcastle were just Dumb and got what they deserved! In a way I hope Sheffield can batter Edinburgh and get through rather than Newcastle. Then on to Scum land on Saturday and another cracking 3-1 win!! Let me hear you say “WHERE’S MIKE PERON!!!! WHERE’S MIKE PERON!! EASY!! EASY!! EASY!!” All in all it’s been a great 2 weeks and let’s hope it carries on on Saturday!! Just a couple of interesting moment from the weekend and sorry to mention this captain but the comedy value is quality!

Firstly, we get to the M1 at junction 26 and next thing we know were on our way to junction 25!! Hold on that’s going south!! Isn’t Sheffield north!! DOH!! Mistake No1.

Second, we come of the M1 at meadow hall as normal and took the 1st left instead of the 2nd left!! DOH No2!

Third, we leave the house of tin and go to get some petrel for the car! We pull up to the pump and Warren puts some petrol in!! I go and pay and then all of a sudden I hear BOLLOCKS from our captain. He’s only gone and put unleaded in a diesel car!! DOH No3! So we top the tank up with diesel and make our way back!

But that’s not the end! As we come off the M1 at J26 we suddenly end up on the A610. But that’s the right road I hear you say and you’d be correct if we were heading to Nottingham but we’re not we’re heading to IKEA!!! DOH!! No4!!

Anyway that enough rambling on!! I bit you a good night!! Role on the weekend!!
Sammo

Good weekend Hockey wise - Panthers win away @ squealers & 2 home victorys for my NHL team the Philadelphia Flyers. I know #86 Sammo is a fan of the Sabres & Rhindsy of the Canucks - but wondered who our Captain follows if anyone?
