The Panthers held an optional skate on Sunday morning and now have their sights set on Monday evening at the Panorama Recreation Centre when the Oceanside Generals come marching in. The Generals and Panthers will face-off at 7:30 pm in a "Winner take all" Sudden-Death affair. The loser of the game will see their season come to a dramatic end while the winner will move on and open the Best-of-7 affair in Campbell River on Wednesday night against the Storm. A large crowd is expected to be on hand for which is undoubtedly the biggest game of the year for the young Panthers squad.
