PANTHERS OFF TO SHEFFIELD FOR PRE-SEASON ACTION
The Nottingham Panthers travel to Sheffield Steelers as the two arch rivals face each other for the second time in as many days.
Steelers had the bragging rights last night as they came from 4-2 to win 5-4 in the Motorpoint Arena to secure the GM the GM Memorial Cup.
Graham said: "The boys should have a little chip on their shoulder.
"It was not the end result that we wanted."
Panthers scored after 52 seconds through Mike Hammond, while Adam Brady, Stephen Anderson and Matthew Myers were also on target in the first period.
Last night's game was in memory of former General Manager Gary Moran and Graham was saddened not to get a victory on a special day.
"I really wish we could've given Gary Moran's family a win," added Graham.
"It was a special night and what a great job the organisation did to represent his 40 years of hard work.
"That's probably where I hurt the most, not getting a win on a night like this, but we'll get better and we'll sort it out."
Steelers against Panthers gets under way at 16:00 this afternoon and the game will be shown live on a webcast.
